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 enamel
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 the blood, and 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.
1. Good teeth help us to __________. A. chew our food B. be important C. have good health D. have good eyesight

Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was
actually more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and
used the knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age
of eighteen, Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his
Massachusetts home to Liverpool, England. His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the
novel Redburn (1849). In 1841, Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas.
After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea
island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel Omoo (1847). After three years away from home,
Melville joined up with a U.S. naval frigate that was returning to the eastern United States around
Cape Horn. The novel White Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage as a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal
following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with
the publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, on one level
the saga of the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic
struggle of humanity against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville's literary
metamorphosis from romantic adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that
served to diminish Melville's popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.

A. published while he was traveling B. completely fictional
C. all about his work on whaling ships

4. According to the passage, Moby Dick is_______. A. a romantic adventure B. a single-faceted work C. a short story about a whale
D. symbolic of humanity fighting the universe
