Importance of
Children
’
s Oral Heath
February is National
Children
’
s Dental Health
Month, but in children good oral
care
is critical every day.
The first
comprehensive study on the
nation
’
s oral health,
released
recently
buy
the
Office
of
the
U.S.
Surgeon
General,
calls
dental
and
oral
diseases a
“
silent epidemic
（
流行病）
,
”
even in
children. The report states that more
than
52
million
school
hours
are
lost
each
year
to
dental-related
illness.
In
fact,
a
recent
study
pointed
to
dental
care
as
the
most
common
unmet
health
need
among
American children.
To help
this, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP)
is launching an
effort
to
educate
children
and
parents
about
the
prevention
of
dental
diseases
in
children.
“
This
is
important
because
oral
problems
can
impact
self-esteem
for
children
and
lead
to
problems
of
eating,
speaking
and
attending
to
learning,
”
said
Michael
McGuire, president of the APP.
Common dental problems seen
in children are cavities and gingivitis which are
found in the majority of U.S. children.
“
When these problems are not
caught early
and
treated,
they
can
develop
into
more
severe
problems
and
cause
unnecessary
suffering,
”
said
McGuire,
“
however, much of
the time, oral problems are avoidable
problems.
”
In the Rio Grande Valley in Texas a
group of more than 120 dentists volunteers
to deliver dental care to thousands of
low-income children each year with its Mobile
Dental Unit that travels from school to
school.
“
According to the
Surgeon General
’
s Report,
about 37 percent of children have
not
had a dental visit before starting
school,
”
said McGuire.
“
When children
don
’
t see
dentists they miss the opportunity to
have problems caught early before they develop
into
larger,
more
expensive
problems
to
treat,
and
parents
miss
the
opportunity
to
learn how to promote good oral habits
in their children.
”

练习二
Work Is a
Service
Young
people
may
ask
themselves
questions
like
this
when
they
apply
for
employment:
“
What
are
my
working
hours?
What
are
my
extra
benefits
besides
wages? What holidays
will I have off? Will I have enough time to hang
out with my
friends or pursue my
hobbies?
”
With questions
like these, however, when we focus on
our leisure hours instead of our
working hours, we may be prevented form seeing a
much grater opportunity.
Good
work
attitudes,
habits,
and
skills
are
learned
through
successful
work
experience. Let me illustrate. In the r
anch(
牧场
)
，
< br>where I grew up, the cows had to be
milked
before
dawn
everyday.
When
I
was
just
10
years
old,
I
would
enter
our
barnyard
where
there
were
about
10
to
12
cows
waiting
for
me
to
let
them
into
milking
barn. My mother and father used to say out loud to
the cows,
“
Good morning.
It
’
s
good
to
see
you!
”
I
have
to
confess
that
as
a
young
boy
I
didn
’
t
feel
quite
the
same way towards the cows.
After each cow was milked, I poured the
mild from the pail into a 10-gallon can.
Each can weighted about 80 pounds when
full. It made me stretch my young muscles
as I carried them to the road for the
dairy to pick up.
My
father
and
mother
quite
frequently
helped
me
with
milking
the
cows.
I
remember my father and mother continued
to mild until they were in their late 80s.
but
father
didn
’
t
milk
the
cows
because
he
had
to;
he
milked
them
because
they
needed to be milked. There is a
difference. To him, these animals were not just
cows
——
they were
Big Blackie and Bossie and Sally
and
Besty. He wanted them to
be
content. He always said
that contented cows give good milk. To
my father, milking
cows
——
as
unsophisticated as it may
seem
——
was not
an
extra burden;
it was an
opportunity. Milking was not a job for
him; it was a service.
This philosophy
is something that helped me as I grew up. It
helped me to find
out
that
all
honest
work
is
honorable.
Within
a
few
years
I
realized
that
routinely
performing
these
chores
actually
began
to
give
me
a
sense
of
confidence
and
empowerment.
I
took
pride in
my
job.
We
control
our own attitudes
towards
work.
Self-confidence and empowerment
can serve us well
——
in the
classroom or on Wall
Street.
Instead of thinking of our
daily work as an extra burden, we should think of
it as an
opportunity.
That
’
s just
the
way my father taught
me to
feel
about
the cows. Those
teaching
have remained with me all my life, and I continue
to visit the ranch and its
memories as
often as possible.

habits, and skills are learned at school. (

Unlike
his
parents,

boy
seemed
not
to
be

cows
every
morning. (

Student Loans
Federal
Student Aid is an office of the US Department of
Education that provides
student
loans
for
education
beyond
high
school.
The
US
government
clearly
understands
the
importance
of
post-secondary
education
in
positively
impacting
the
nation.
It therefore ensures
that
each eligible student
in
the United States is
able to
receive financial
assistance for higher education.
Although
parents
can
opt
fro
private
funding
through
sources
like
banks
and
other financial institutions, the rates
of federally funded student loans are much less in
comparison. It is therefore imperative
that parents take all steps necessary to apply for
student loans available through the
federal government.
Federal Student Aid
is actively involved in educating students and
their families
on the exact procedure
to obtain student loans. Once the applications are
received, it
processes them by the
millions before the start of each academic year.
It also pays out
billions
of dollars through schools to fund the education
of students who have applied
for
financial aid.
The first
step in applying for financial aid is to fill and
submit the FAFSA or Free
Application
for
Federal
Student
Aid.
The
name
of
the
student
should
be
entered
exactly the way it
is written on the student
’
s
social security card. The format used is
“
first
name
”
,
“
middle
initial
”
and
“
last
name
”
.
Since
the
analysis
bureau
will
be
linking
up the FAFAS with social security number, the
names should match precisely
for
the
application
to
be
approved.
A
mismatch
in
names
could
result
in
the
application
being
sent
back
for
correction.
This
would
cause
a
delay
and
end
up
pushing the applicant to
the back of the line. Since most financial aid is
provided on a
first-come-first-served
basis, it is important to be at the head of the
line. Even a minor
error on the FAFSA
can result in a loss of thousands of dollars in
financial aid.
Therefore, it is
important that families have all the proper income
and tax records
ready before applying
for financial aid. This will help avoid submitting
inconsistent,
incomplete or mistaken
information while filling out the FAFSA forms.
The
CSS
PROFILE
is
the
FAFSA
equivalent
that
is
most
often
required
for
aid
through private universities. It could
be a little more complicated than filling out the
FAFSA
form.
Gong
through
the
entire
process
with
the
help
of
a
certified
college
planner would be a
good idea.
No matter what their credit
rating, parents should still submit their
applications
for financial aid.
Learning about the different options available to
them is the first step
in the process.
Doing it right will enhance their chances of
getting student loans for
their
children’s
higher education.
11. Federal Student Aid provides
student loans for______.
A. high school education
B.
secondary education
C.
higher education
D. Pre-secondary education
12. Federally funded loans are
preferred to private funding for______.
A.
their easy accessibility
B. their high reliability
C. their lower interest rates
D.
their wide availability
13. Federal
Student Aid educates students on_______.
A.
how to apply to ideal universities
B. how to
obtain student loans
C. how to process the
applications
D. how to meet their financial needs
14. The first step in applying for
financial aid is to ______.
A. fill out and
submit application forms
B. apply for a social
security number
C. enter the applicant name
in the right format
D. submit all the proper
income and tax records
15. To succeed
in applying for student loans, you are advised
to_____.
A. enhance academic
performance
B. resort to a certified college
planner
C. avoid submitting a CSS PROFILE
D.
turn in income and tax records afterwards
练习二
Fly
’
s Lesson
There
’
s
a
small
fly
burning
out
the
last
of
its
short
life
’
s
energies
in
a
futile
attempt
to
fly
through
the
glass
of
the
windowpane.
The
whining
wings
tell
the
poignant
(
深刻的
) story of the
fly
’
s strategy: Try harder.
But it’s not
working.
The
frenzied effort offers no hope for survival.
Ironically, the struggle is part of
the
trap. It is impossible for the fly to try hard
enough to succeed at breaking through
the glass. Nevertheless, this little
insect has staked its life on reaching its goal
through
raw effort and determination.
This fly is doomed. It will
die there on the windowsill.
Across the room, ten steps
away, the door is
open. Ten
seconds of flying time
and this small
creature could reach the outside world it seeks.
With only a fraction of
the
effort
now
being
wasted,
it
could
be
free
of
this
self-imposed
trap.
The
breakthrough possibility is there. It
would be so easy.
Why
doesn’t
the
fly
try
another
approach,
something
dramatically
different?
How did it get so locked in on the idea
that this particular route and determined effort
offer the most promise for success?
What logic is there in continuing until death to
seek a breakthrough with more of the
same?
No doubt this
approach makes sense to the fly. Regrettably, it’s
an idea
that will
kill.
Trying harder isn’t necessarily the
solution to achieving more. It may not offer
any real promise for getting what you
want out of life. Sometimes, in fact, it’s a big
part of the problem.
If you stake your hopes for a
breakthrough on trying harder than ever, you may
kill your chances for success.
11. What is
mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Working harder.
B.
A fly’s tale.
C. Seeking new
dramatic approaches.
D. A course to
accelerate your income
12.
The word “paradigm” in the first
paragraph is
closest in meaning to
_____.
A.
routine
B.
model
C. psyche
D. intelligence
13.
What does the pronoun “this” in para.9
refers to?
A. Determined effort that offers the
most promise of success.
B. Seeking a
breakthrough.
C. An idea that will kill.
D. Self-imposed trap.
14. The fly story is to illustrate
______.
A.
trying harder always works well
B. how to face a desperate
situation
C.
one should make effort and have determination
D. sometimes
one should break the stereotype
15.
This passage is to ______.
A. inform readers
B. lecture students
C. criticize people with
stupid ideas
D. specify a
story

The Weight
Experiment
①
Nicola Waiters has
been
taking part in
experiments in
Scotland to
discover
why
humans
gain
and
lose
weight.
Being
locked
in
a
small
room
called
a
“
calorimeter
”
is one way
to find out.
②
The signs above the two rooms read
simply
“
Chamber
One
”
and
“
Chamber
Two
”
.
These
are
the
calorimeters:
4
m
by
2
m
white-walled
rooms
where
human
volunteers
are
locked
up
in
the
name
of
science.
Outside
these
rooms
another
sign
reads
“
Please do
not enter
——
work in
progress
”
and in front of
the rooms advanced
machinery
registers
every
move
the
volunteers
make.
Each
day,
meals
measured
to
the
last gram are passed through a hole in the wall of
the calorimeter to the resident
volunteer.
③
Nicola
Waiters
is
one
of
the
twenty
volunteers
who,
over
the
past
eight
months, have spent
varying periods inside the calorimeter. Tall and
slim, Nicola dose
not have a weight
problem, but thought the strict diet might help
with her training and
fitness
program.
A
self-
employed
community
dance
worker,
she
was
able
to
fit
the
experiment in around her
work. She saw an advert for volunteers at her
local gym and
as she is interested in
the whole area of diet and exercise, she thought
she would help
out.
④
The experiment
on Nicola involved her spending one day on a fixed
diet at
home and the next in the room.
This sequence was repeated four times over six
weeks.
She arrived at calorimeter at
8:30 a. m. on each of the four mornings and from
then on
everything she ate or drank was
carefully measured. Her every move was noted too,
her daily exercise routine timed to the
last second. At regular intervals, after eating,
she filled in forms about how hungry
she felt and samples were taken for
analysis.
⑤
The scientists help volunteers impose a
kind of order on the long days they
