根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

 If you walk into W. Lloyd Jerome’s dental surgery(手术) in Glasgow, you’ll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth. Jerome says, ‘That’s because they’re frightened.’

   71   ‘That’s why I don’t wear a white coat. I find that’s one of the things that people associate with pain. In fact, my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation, interest and, above all , enjoyment.’

 Which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain, or at the very least, formal, chinical visits. He says, ‘If people are relaxed, entertained and correctly treated, they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences.’

 Virtual -  reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques, ‘  72   The headsets are used for the first check – up, where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches an underwear film while I look at their teeth. “Then the headset switches to a special camera, to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth.’

 Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist’s. Today there is the smell of orange. “When people walk in, I want them to realize  with all their senses that it’s not like going to dentist’s. Smell is very important.  73  ’

 Known as Clasgow’s most fashionable dentist, Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously. ‘  74  ’

 For example, Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them, rather than scraping them. ‘It feels a bit strange, but as long as people are relaxed, it’s not painful.’

   75  ‘One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient, you make it easier for yourself’ He sees his patient – centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession.

 At that moment, a patient arrives. Jerome rushes over, offers him a cup of tea, askes him what video he’d like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair.

 A. Five years ago, Jerome went to the United States to do research.

 B. He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid.

 C. The relaxation techniques are important but the quality of the treatment is the most important thing.

 D. We were the first practice in Britain to introduce them.

 E. Now they look forward to their visits here.

 F. That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you’re frightened of dentists.

 G. Fifty percent of the population only go to the dentist when they’re in pain.
