【题目】 In a town there lived a little, beautiful and smart girl. Her name was Rose. Everyone in the town liked her. She was very brave, but she was scared of the doctor. One day, one of her teeth was moving. Her mom saw it. She said, “One of your teeth is moving, and you need to visit Doctor Tim.”

Rose said, “No! I’m not going to the doctor.” Mom said, “Don’t worry. It's not so wobbly(摆动的) now, we needn't go to the doctor at once.” That made Rose feel better.

After five weeks, Rose forgot about her tooth but her mom didn’t. She checked her tooth again and it was more wobbly, so she said, “It’s time to see the doctor.”

Rose was scared but she had to do what her mom told her, so they went to see Doctor Tim.

They had to wait in the waiting room.

【题目】 Whenever you walk past a cafe, you might be drawn in by the smell of freshly made coffee. But the minute you try this dark drink, you will regret it, because it tastes like bitter Chinese medicine.

Why does something that smells so good taste so bad? Many people are curious about this, but now scientists say they have found the answer – it lies in our “second sense of smell,”according to the Telegraph.

“We have two senses of smell,”explains Barry Smith, professor of the University of London. “One is when you breathe in things from the environment, and the other is when the air comes up the nose and is breathed out through the nose.”

When we drink coffee, for example, the act of swallowing(吞咽) sends a burst of smell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This wakes up the second sense of smell in our brain. But it is weaker and less sensitive to flavors(味道). As a result, it gives us a completely different feeling.

In fact, the second sense of smell plays a big part in our eating experience. It may be common sense that we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue(舌头). But the truth is 80 percent of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell. Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that your tongue can only catch a very small part of the favor.
