Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear. This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties——in other words, when they are older and wiser.
Wisdom teeth are chewing teeth, at the back of the mouth. They can grow into place normally and never cause a problem. But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth. They might crowd other teeth. Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums(牙床)。
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to completely rise through the gum——the term is erupt. Wisdom teeth that only partially erupt can leave space for bacteria to enter around the tooth. Infection is a risk in these cases.
Wisdom teeth that are not well in place and become impacted are often removed. People should have the placement of their wisdom teeth examined between the ages of sixteen and twenty. X-rays can show wisdom teeth that are below the gums.
The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums. Removal is also advised if there is a chance that poorly placed wisdom teeth will damage other teeth. And removal is called for in cases where fluid collects around a wisdom tooth that is partly or fully below the gum.
But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed?One theory has to do with our diets. Scientists say the diet of prehistoric humans probably required more chewing teeth. Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then, too. So it was good to have extras.
The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial ( 上颌面的 ) Surgeons says young adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal. The group says older patients may be at greater risk for disease in the tissue surrounding the teeth.
After surgery, there can be swelling of the gums and face and some pain.Both can be treated with cold wraps and medication(药物医治)。

A.it may need more time to grow B.it may cause swelling in the face
C.it may cause infection D.it may be left unnoticed
第14题 Humans have wisdom teeth probably because
A.our ancestors needed to chew more when they grew up
B.our ancestors ‘ teeth grew at late teens or early twenties
C.our ancestors ate foods without cooking

When you ‘ve read the same paragraph 10 times and you still make little of it as you are reading ancient Egyptian, and you’re not studying ancient Egyptian, it ‘s time for you to put the books down. Experts say good breaks are a critical part of exam preparation and actually make your brain work better.
Debbie Bruckner, the director of the Student Union Wellness Centre at the University of Calgary, says an overburdened brain stops processing new information.“You ‘ve got to put it into your short-term memory and then move it into your long-term memory, “she says. To do that, you need to stop cramming new knowledge into your head.
Psychologist Joanne Mills says most people can concentrate for 45 minutes to an hour at a time, but then need 15 minutes to rest. She suggests picking your break activity —— taking a walk, listening to music —— and setting a timer for 15 minutes.”It ‘s a cue to your mind”she says.
Mills also suggests setting targets and stopping when you ‘ve reached them.“ Some students will take that break even if they haven’t finished what they set out to do and then they don ‘t really relax or enjoy it because their mind is racing with ’ I must, I should, I have to. ‘ “If you’re in the flow, ride the momentum until you come to a natural break in the material, then set the timer again and walk to the corner store.
Alternating which books you ‘re hitting also helps. Work on English for an hour, then switch to math. It’s like exercising multiple muscles at the gym, as different parts of your brain work for different subjects.
Bruckner says that to maintain a healthy mind-body-spirit temperament in the heat of exam season, sit down with your calendar.
“Make a schedule for a month —— when your assignments are due, when your final exams are, what the weighting is for each, “she says.

第18题 The word”cram”in the second paragraph isclosest in meaning to_____.
A.put something into a container, especially in a hurry
B.put many things into a place at one time that makes itcompletely full
C.teach students as much as possible in a short time beforethe examination
D.put too much knowledge into the brain, although there ishardly enough room for it

All friendships require a certain amount of chemistry. But when two people of the opposite sex become friends, sometimes those friendly feelings can start to resemble something more like sexual tension.
Male-female friendships can be an emotional minefield of hidden desires.Does this mean you secretly want to jump into bed with all of your friends? Of course not. But do you ever wonder how many of them might be interested if the opportunity presented itself? Maybe you and your platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship are just a bad breakup and a bottle of wine away from crossing that boundary and hooking up(联系)。
So can two people of the opposite sex ever really be”just friends?”The Hollywood answer to this age-old question is a decisive HELL NO. On screen, male-female friendships i always turn into something more. Harry and Sally, Chandler and Monica, Jim and Pam …… Do I need to go on? Even the characters in Just Friends wind up becoming much more than the film ‘s definitive title suggests. Cinematic stories dictate that when reasonably attractive men and women befriend one another, they are always on the road to romance, whether they realize it or not.
But how much truth is there to this friendship as foreplay (做爱前奏 ) theory? Not a whole lot. Real life isn ‘t a romantic comedy. Men and women go to school together, work together and hang out in plenty of platonic settings without falling hopelessly in love with one another.
Last year, a close female friend of mine moved in with a new male roommate. My immediate reaction was,”You two are definitely goin
g to sleep together.”It seemed to me that a single man and woman living under the same roof would inevitably end up doing it. Much to my surprise, the roommate romance never happened. Almost one year later, the two of them have never even come close to seeing each other naked. Instead, their way of life has come to resemble a sexless marriage. They cook for each other, argue over domestic chores and insist that they never, ever think about each other“that way.”
第21题 The author believes that two people of the same sex can_____.
A.really be just friends B.never be just friends
C.have nothing but romance D.work together better than the same sex
第22题 According to the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph, underthe right opportunity, platonic friendship can easily_____.
A.cross the ethnic boundary B.turn into bad relationship
C.turn into romance D.be broken up
第23题 In the movie Just Friends, the two leading characters_____.
A.are just friends B.have romance
C.don ‘t realize their true relationship D.can never be friends again
第24题 In real life, Hollywood foreplay theory_____.
A.has been proved true B.has been practiced a lot
C.doesn ‘t work D.is abandoned by people
第25题 In the last paragraph, the man and the woman_____.
A.never become close friends B.end up sleeping together
C.end up with a sexless marriage D.never have romance

It is the world ‘s fourth-most-important food crop, after maize, wheat and rice. It provides more calories, more quickly, using less land and in a wider range of climates than any other plant.It is, of course, the potato.
The United Nations has hoped that greater awareness of the merits of potatoes will contribute to the achievement of its Millennium Development Goals, by helping to reduce poverty and promote economic development.
The potato promoted economic development by supporting the Industrial Revolution in England in the 19th century. It provided a cheap source of calories and was easy to cultivate, so it liberated workers from the land.Potatoes became popular in the north of England, as people there specialized in livestock farming and domestic industry, while farmers in the south concentrated on wheat production. By a happy accident, the concent ratedindustrial activity in the regions where coal was readily available, and a potato-driven population boom provided ample workers for the new factories. Friedrich Engels even declared that the potato was the equal of iron for its“historically revolutionary role”。
In the form of French fries, served alongside burgers and Coca-Cola, potatoes are now a symbol of globallization. This is quite a change given the skepticism which first greeted them on their arrival in the Old World in the 16th century. They were variously thought to be fit
only for animals, to be associated with the devil or to be poisonous. They took hold in 18th-century Europe only when war and famine meant there was nothing else to eat; people then realized just how useful and reliable they were. As Adam Smith, one of the potato ‘s many admirers, observed at the time,”The very general use which is made of potatoes in these kingdoms as food for man is a convincing proof that the prejudices of a nation, with regard to diet, however deeply rooted, are by no means unconquerable.”Mashed, fried, boiled and roast, a humble potato changed the world, and people everywhere should celebrate it.
第26题 Paragraph 3 mainly describes
A.why the potato became popular in the north of England
B.why the potato was important in England ‘s population growth
C.how the potato contributed to England ‘s industrial development
D.how the potato helped improve England ‘s working conditions
第27题 Friedrich Engels ‘s words show that he
A.thought highly of the potato
B.took the potato too seriously
C.underestimated the role of the potato
D.lacked the basic knowledge of the potato
第28题 Europeans began to eatpotatoes in the 18th century because
A.there was a serious food shortage
B.they realized that potatoes tasted good
C.food safety had been greatly improved
D.eating potatoes had become fashionable
第29题 What Adam Smith said couldbe used to demonstrate the potato ‘s
A.general use B.main features C.success story D.bright future
第30题 The best title for the passage is
A.2008——the Potato ‘s New Mission B.In Praise of the Potato
C.The History of the Potato D.The Potato and Globalization
