Question VIII. (1,5 points) Read the passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C, or D.
It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They
also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the
enameled covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected
there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and Page 2/1
we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our
dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He
can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many
people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least
twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden
toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish,
brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits
and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because
they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
