B Most American kids love Halloween treats, but a bucket of Halloween candy can be a dentist’s nightmare. Some parents try to get rid of half of the candy after their children go to bed, but dentists say parents also need to separate the good kinds of treats from the bad. It is not exactly what a child eats that truly matters, but how much time it stays in his mouth. According to pediatric dentist Dr. Kaneta Lott, the most damaging stuff is something that is sticky or very hard and thus stays in the mouth for a long time. This is because we all have bacteria in our mouths. When we eat, the bacteria take our food as their food and produce an acid that destroys the surface of the teeth, causing cavities to form. The longer the food stays in the mouth, the more likely cavities will develop. Therefore, potato chips are worse than candy because they get stuck between teeth. For the same reason, raisins and crackers are not the best choice. Hard candies take a long time to consume and are also a bad choice for Halloween treats If children really love candy, dentists recommend that they eat chocolate instead. Unlike hard candies, chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth. Besides, chocolate contains tannins, which help to kill some of the bacteria in the mouth. But no matter what a child eats, brushing after each meal is still the best way to fight cavities. 55.What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To discuss how cavities can be treated. B. To point out the problems with Halloween celebrations. C. To tell parents what sweets are less damaging to their children’s teeth. D. To teach parents the meaning of Halloween candies for their children. 56.Why are hard candies especially bad for teeth? A. They may break the child’s teeth. B. They contain too much sugar. C. They help bacteria to produce tannins. D. They stay in the mouth for a long time. 57.According to the passage, which of the following is a better choice for Halloween treats? A. Chocolate. B. Crackers. C. raisins. D. Potato chips. 58.According to the passage, which of the following is true of tannins? A. They are produced when the bacteria digest the food. B. They help to get rid of some bacteria in the mouth. C. They help chocolate to dissolve more quickly. D. They destroy the surface of the teeth. |

Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉). ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away. Here"s an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman"s father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair. There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what"s behind these strange mental messages. Here"s another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true. A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There"s room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There"s room for one more." Then the man saw that the driver"s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn"t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed! Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind. 44.According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is_________. A.in existence B.imaginative C.not real D.impossible 45.ESP lets people know___________. A.about events before they happen B.about events after they happen C.about events that are happening some distance away D.A and C 46.In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means ____. A.things that may not happen B.things that happen in a dream C.things that must happen D.things that happen by accident 47.This article is mainly about_________. A.the human dream B.the sixth sense C.the human mind D.a crowded bus |
