Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults arenot the only ones at risk.For example, in xx, doctors in the Washington area said a boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain. They said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care (牙齿 保健）he needed. He was twelve years old.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk, they say, is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow the growth of bacteria and acid production in the mouth.But dentists say a babys gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, only give the child water.When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently.The use of fluoride (氟化物）to protect teeth is mon in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (法琅质)， the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.31.According to the passage, bad teeth can be _.

Causes of Teeth Problem D. Solutions to Teeth Problem CIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources(资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe being increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will bee three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution. It is now trying hard to made full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers a large of new chances for sustainable product industries.36. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that_.A. it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to futureD. it makes growth hard to continue37. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. China lacks wind and solar energyB. China is the leader of the low-carbon marketC. High-speed trains are a low-carbon developmentD. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests38. To fully develop the low-carbon markets, governments can_.A. cut public expenses B. forbid carbon emissionC. develop public resources D. encourage energy conservation39. We can learn from the last paragraph that business have many chances to _.A. develop sustainable products B. explore new natural resources C. make full use of natural resources D. deal with the major challenge40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business model B. To pare two business models C. To predict a change of the global markets D. To advocate sustainable development DEveryone needs recognition(赏识) for his achievements,but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father,“Lets play darts(飞镖).Ill throw and you should say Wonderful!”Fran Tarkenton,former Minnesota Vikings quarterback,once called a play that required him to block onrushing tacklers.FEL quarterbacks almost never block.Theyre usually vastly outweighed by defenders,so blocking exposes them to the risk of severe injury.But the team was behind,and a surprising play was needed.Tarkenton went into block,and the runner scored a touchdown.The Vikings won the game.Watching the game films with the team the next day,Tarkenton expected a big pat on the back for what hed done. It never came.After the meeting,Tarkenton approached coach Bud Grant and asked,“You saw my block,didnt you,Coach?How e you didnt say anything about it?”Grant replied,“Sure,I saw the block.It was great,but youre always working hard out there,Fran.I figured I didnt have to tell you.”“Well,”Tarkenton replied,“if you ever want me to block again,you do!”41.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A.Praise can have people take risky actions.B.Encouragement can make people achieve greater progress.C.No recognition,no progress.D.People will be discouraged without praise.42.The author gave the little boy as an example in order to .
