Professional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their performance on the football ground, say dentists. Their study on players at eight clubs in England and Wales, in the British Journal o f Sports Medicine, showed nearly 4 out of 10 had cavities   and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population. Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation.
The dentists, from the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, examined 187 players' sets of teeth. They found 53% had dental erosion  , 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said it affected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, compared with 30% of people of a similar age in the general population.
Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said:  "These are individuals who otherwise invest so much in themselves so it's a surprising finding.
"There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very serious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train.
"There Il be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they take a drink. "
At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling.
Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foods during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection.
While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental health and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicine and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease prevention for athletes and clubs.

<question>:
These findings are worrying clubs because  _  .

<options>:
A footballers aren't willing to give up sugary or acidic food
B they've spent much on their players' oral disease prevention
C footballers have more serious tooth problems than the public
D players' oral disease may lead to bad performance in games

My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it and I washed a lot of things.
    Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
    The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this.
     I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more.
    Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too!
   "Good heavens," I said. "Will someone please tell me what is so funny?'
   "Oh, God," said the teacher. "You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt!"

It was an afternoon Truman would never forget.
Rayburn and his friend were talking in the office before Truman arrived. The telephone rang. It was a call from the White House asking whether Vice-President Truman had arrived yet. No, Rayburn replied. The caller asked to have him telephone the White House as soon as he arrived.
Truman entered a minute later. He immediately called the White House. As he talked, his face became white. He put down the phone and raced out of the door to his car.
Truman arrived at the White House within minutes. An assistant took him to the president's private living area. Eleanor Roosevelt, the president's wife, was waiting for him there. "Harry," she said, "the president is dead." Truman was shocked. He asked Mrs. Roosevelt if there was anything he could do to help her. But her reply made clear to him that his own life had suddenly changed. "Is there anything we can do for you ?" Mrs. Roosevelt asked the new president, " _ ."
Truman had been a surprise choice for vice-president at the Democratic Party nominating convention in nineteen forty-four. Delegates considered several other candidates before they chose him as Roosevelt's running mate. That was at a time when presidential candidates did not make their own choices for vice-president.
Harry Truman lacked the fame,the rich family and the strong speech-making skills of Franklin Roosevelt.He was a much simpler man.He grew up in the Midwestern state of Missouri.Truman only studied through high school but took some nighttime law school classes.He worked for many years as a farmer and a small businessman,but without much success.
Truman had long been interested in politics.When he was almost forty,he finally won several low-level positions in his home state.By nineteen thirty-four,he was popular enough in Missouri to be nominated and elected to the United States Senate. And he won re-election six years later.
Most Americans, however, knew little about Harry Truman when he became president.They knew he had close ties to the Democratic Party political machine in his home state.But they had also heard that he was a very honest man.They could see that Truman had strongly supported President Roosevelt's New Deal programs.But they could not be sure what kind of president Truman would become.
At the center of all the action was Harry Truman.It was not long before he showed Americans and the world that he had the ability to be a good president.He was honest,strong and willing to make decisions.

From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they "know" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of  books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I'm not going to ask you what words mean. "
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that?" I said just as seriously, "I mean every word of it.
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, "It can't be," and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?" She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. "
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is, an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of "understanding" that can be dug out of a book.

One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of  books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I'm not going to ask you what words mean. "
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that?" I said just as seriously, "I mean every word of it.
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, "It can't be," and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?" She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. "
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is, an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of "understanding" that can be dug out of a book.

<question>:
From the teacher's point of view,  _   .

<options>:
A children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading
B children should be left to decide what to read and how to read
C reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school
D reading involves understanding every little piece of information

Ever driven into a traffic jam just after the guy on the radio said the road was all clear? Or prepared yourself for the crowdedness he warned about only to zip right through?
     A large number of private companies say they have the one thing that can ease such frustrations: better information.
     Now one of those companies, SpeedInfo Inc., has fixed 50 solar--powered, wireless radar sensors along main roads in theprefix = st1 /District of Columbiathat take readings of average traffic speeds twice a minute in both directions.
     The company says the sensors provide a far more accurate picture of road conditions than can be collected from helicopters or highway patrol alerts.
     In a business model that SpeedInfo hopes will develope around the country, the San Jose, California--based company is letting the city use the data for traffic planning free of charge, in exchange for access to the side of the road. Speedlnfo plans to sell the information to paying customers, including broadcasters and companies that provide information for in--car navigation equipment.
The problem with traditional traffic reports is that in most of the country, they rely on highway patrol accident reports that come 30 to 40 minutes late and a few helicopters that get into the sky during rush hour, SpeedInfo Chief Executive Doug Finlay said.
      "Chopper Bill gets in the sky and says, 'Oh, I'm looking at the road and the cars are going slow, "' Finlay said. "Chopper Bill is the best data you got."
     Tim Lomax, a researcher at the Texas Transportation Institute, said a recent increase of high--tech traffic data systems is good for drivers.
      "Even if it doesn't get rid of traffic crowdedness, they at least give people an idea of what sort of choices they're facing and more control over their destiny, which is part of the frustrating element of traffic crowdedness," Lomax said.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn't accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail , either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of them take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

<question>:
People with little education usually    _   .

<options>:
A spend a long time in school
B have a good chance to get a job
C spend the best years to choose jobs
D have fewer chances to get a good job

If man's best friend is a dog, then who is a dog's best friend? That would be Rover, Glow, Ivan or Raina. They recently donated   blood to other dogs. And they did it without having to travel far from home: they visited an animal bloodmobile.
Like the Red Cross vehicles for humans, the University of Pennsylvania's traveling vet lab goes to where the donors are to make it easier to give. The bloodmobile makes weekly rounds through Philadelphia and New Jersey.
Like humans, not every dog is qualified  to donate blood. The dogs are examined for health first. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be under 8 year old. About 150 dogs take part in the program. Each donates three or four pints  a year, which can help animals suffering from illness like cancer or an accident like being hit by a car.
Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old dog, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week. She said she wouldn't have taken the dog to Penn Vet's animal hospital in downtown Philadelphia, which is twice as far from her home. "I was very, very excited that she had the right blood that was needed to help another dog out," said Lucas. "We'll surely do it again."
Just like people, the donors get a snack and a heart-shaped sticker immediately after giving. What's more, they receive dog food to take home.
If dogs are doing what they can to save other dogs, why can't we do it to save other people? Next time you hesitate  over whether to donate blood or not, think of the dogs.

Accepting and understanding other cultures is something that everyone needs to learn. Think of the world as a giant pizza. Without all the different vegetables, cheeses and meats, all you get is a tasteless pizza crust  . But when you put them all together, you get something very interesting, tasty, and good. So let's break down the walls between cultures.
One way to help break down the walls between us is to understand that many of our ancestors may come from the same place. Do you know what cultures you are from? Are you part Irish or mostly German? Did your grandparents or great-grandparents immigrate   to your country?
There is really no way to be completely sure where your first ancestors came from, but some scientists think that all people came from Africa. So how did they get all over the world? Well, back then there was a land bridge connecting Asia and North America, so they walked to Asia, Europe, and the Americas! Over time, the land bridge split up, and there was no way for people like Columbus to know that the Americas existed. Isn't it cool thinking that maybe we're all from the same continent? Even though we all came from the same place, now there are differences in the way we look depending on where our recent ancestors came from and who our parents are. If you find out where your parents and grandparents came from, you just might discover that you are from the same culture that you might be trying to avoid!

Next Thursday, November 27th(the fourth Thursday in November), Americans will gather with family and friends to share a big meal to celebrate Thanksgiving. They might play games, tell stories or watch football on television together.
Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people. From Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, the 100-year-old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgiving.
But he says it was different when he was a child. Mr. Rosa was just three when his family came to America. "When we were small children, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we actually didn't pay too much attention to it." But, also, he says, his parents faced a language difficulty. "They were from Italy and spoke very broken English, because they were the first generation that came over here."
And the family had little money. There were six children. Mr. Rosa's father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania. The family was not able to have big, costly dinners, especially during the hard time of the 1930's. But Mr. Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children.
This Thanksgiving, Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away. He will celebrate the day with loved ones, including his great-grandchildren.
On the other side of the country, Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord, California. We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year; her first answer is "The election." She said she is also deeply grateful for her very large family. Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter. She has five younger brothers and sisters. She also has eight stepbrothers and stepsisters. Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner.

<question>:
At Mr. Rosa's childhood, Thanksgiving was not a big holiday for the following reasons EXCEPT   _  .

<options>:
A the family couldn't afford expensive dinners
B the family couldn't communicate well with the local people
C the family didn't recognize it as an important holiday
D during the 1930's no one could afford expensive dinners

This Thanksgiving, Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away. He will celebrate the day with loved ones, including his great-grandchildren.
On the other side of the country, Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord, California. We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year; her first answer is "The election." She said she is also deeply grateful for her very large family. Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter. She has five younger brothers and sisters. She also has eight stepbrothers and stepsisters. Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner.

<question>:
From Ms Dahlstrom's words, we can infer that   _  .

<options>:
A she is content with both her family, relatives and the society
B she is thankful for her effort in the election and her family
C she has always been celebrating Thanksgiving this way
D her daughter has a large family with stepbrothers and stepsisters

<answer>:


Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
Next Thursday, November 27th(the fourth Thursday in November), Americans will gather with family and friends to share a big meal to celebrate Thanksgiving. They might play games, tell stories or watch football on television together.
Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people. From Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, the 100-year-old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgiving.
But he says it was different when he was a child. Mr. Rosa was just three when his family came to America. "When we were small children, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we actually didn't pay too much attention to it." But, also, he says, his parents faced a language difficulty. "They were from Italy and spoke very broken English, because they were the first generation that came over here."
And the family had little money. There were six children. Mr. Rosa's father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania. The family was not able to have big, costly dinners, especially during the hard time of the 1930's. But Mr. Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
Do you blank out, freeze up or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night? If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.
But, don't panic. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.
Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline  , which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite  before tests, and poor performances. Some people might feel shaky, hot, or even sick.
If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety.
When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you are doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to "STOP". This will get your mind off the stress.
Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help restore your confidence.
Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example:" I've studied hard and I know the material, so I'm ready to do the best I can."
Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities.
Last but not least, start test preparation early---three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills ---for example, time management and note-taking - will give you the feeling that your are in control.

<question>:
_   are more likely to feel very nervous in tests.

<options>:
A People who feel a touch of nervousness in tests.
B People who haven't prepared very well.
C People who require that everything must be perfect.
D People who have recognized their problems.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
The first time my father and I ever went fishing became a family legend . We spent hours waiting for a bite. The sun was bursting with fire. We were hot, sticky, and mad that the fish refused to suck up our night crawlers .
Being only seven years old, I observed that perhaps the worms were the problem. Maybe the night crawlers only moved at night, and now they were just lying there motionless on the hook. Dad ignored my assessment of the situation.
We began to pack up to leave. As we headed back to our truck, we heard tires spinning in the distance. Getting into our truck was tough. Having sat in the boiling sun for six hours, the seats were blistering. Naturally, I was wearing shorts.
I shifted from side to side in the seat so as not to cook my bottom. While driving out we saw a truck with a boat trailer and boat that was stuck in the mud. That explained the sound of spinning tires we'd heard.
Being a nice guy, my dad helped pull the man from the mud. In return, this fellow gave Dad some fish for being a Good Samaritan. As Dad climbed back into our truck with a brown bag full of fish, we waved goodbye to our newfound friend.
On the drive home, we agreed to take in the fish as if we had caught them. We were sure there was no way for Mom to know the difference. It was just a little white lie.
We arrived home hot, sweaty, and smelly, and went to clean up while Mom prepared the fish. We made a big deal out of the fact that we had already cleaned them and put them in the bag so as not to make a mess.
After showering, Dad and I met in the hall and exchanged conspiratorial grins . Sitting down to freshly fried fish, we started eating happily and went on about how good something tasted that we had actually caught ourselves. Mother looked suitably impressed.
As we got up to do the dishes, Mom cleared her throat. "I just have one question of you two great fishermen," she said. We looked at her expectantly, thinking we had another opportunity to delight her with our great fishing ability. With a tiny smile, Mom asked, "How was it again that you two managed to not only clean your fish, but also freeze them before you got home."

<question>:
Why didn't the fish eat our night crawlers?

<options>:
A The weather was too hot.
B The reason was not clear.
C The fish were not hungry.
D The fish only ate night crawlers alive.

Researchers have developed new software using smart phones'GPS and imaging abilities that determine the exact location of distant objects as well as monitor the speed and direction of moving objects.The software could eventually allow smart phone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemies.On the home front,the software could be used by everyone,including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it.
"The great advantage of a Smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single,readily available,relatively inexpensive package,"said Qia Wang,a doctoral student who led the development of the software."For example,on the battlefield,a soldier needs a rangefinder,compass,GPS and other tools to get information before calling in an air strike.With our software,the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelf.When that soldier returns from War,she can use the same Software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her children's school and catching the criminal on video."
Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track:
Targets of known size--when the size of the target is known.a single image is enough to pinpoint the target's location.
Targets of unknown size--If the exact size of a target is unknown,the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the target*
Moving targets--By taking a short video of a moving target,the smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is going.
"Currently,our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphone hardware,but the devices are improving rapidly,"Wang said."We expect that improvements in GPS accuracy,battery  life  and  camera  resolution  will  allow  our  software to  make  even  more  accurate observations."

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
1. Penguins Mate for Life
During the mid-2000s, films like "Happy Feet" made penguins all the rage, and young lovers went around spreading the facts like "penguins mate for life." While the idea is sweet, it's not exactly true.
Penguins usually stick with their partners through the mating season, but when it's time to mate again, they choose whomever is convenient, not necessarily their old flame.
2. Vincent Van Gogh Cut Off His Entire Ear
This is not entirely true. It was not his entire ear - just the tip of the lobe  - and some say he didn't even do it. Van Gogh lived with artist Paul Gauguin, who had quite a violent temper, and many believe Gauguin actually did the cutting.
Either way, Van Gogh did reportedly send the tip to a prostitute.
3. Napoleon Bonaparte was Short
Everyone knows Napoleon Bonaparte was a tiny man - after all, his nickname was "le Petit Corporal." His reputation for being short even inspired the phenomenon known as the "Napoleon complex."
In reality, Napoleon stood around 5 feet and 7 inches tall, which was very average back in the day. Many believe his nickname was meant as a term of endearment, not a reference to his height.
4. Ben Franklin Preferred a Turkey to a Bald Eagle
The bald eagle is certainly a well-known representation of America, but legend has it that if Ben Franklin had his way, a turkey would have been much better. In reality, Franklin wrote a letter to his daughter mocking the eagle symbol used in a seal  by the Society of the Cincinnati, a private military group.
He said it looked like a turkey and may as well be one.
5. You Have Five Senses
If you remember learning about the senses in elementary school, you know humans possess five: sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste. Most scientists agree, however, that you have more like 10-20 senses, including pain, hunger, thirst, temperature, and more.
6. George Washington had Wooden Teeth
George Washington is known for three things: being the first president, chopping down a cherry tree, and having wooden teeth. At least one of these is certainly not true. While Washington did have bad teeth, his dentures  were not wooden.
7. Einstein was a Bad Student
If you ever made bad grades and pulled the old "Albert Einstein used to make bad grades" card with your parents or teachers, you are lucky you got away with it. In reality, Einstein was at the top of his class and mastered calculus when he was barely a teenager.
The reputation he developed for being a bad student had more to do with his behavior. He liked to talk back to his teachers.

<question>:
Which is the true fact according to the passage?

<options>:
A Penguins usually stick with their partners through their whole lives.
B Franklin laughed at the eagle symbol used in a seal and said it looked like a turkey.
C Napoleon was much shorter than average.
D George Washington's false teeth were made of wooden.
