    Teeth are important. Strong, healthy teeth help you chew foods that help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And, they help you look your best. Here is some advice for you to take care of your teeth.

    1. Brush your teeth the right way.

    Brush your teeth at least twice a day—after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch, too.

    Brush all of your teeth, not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the sides, and back of your mouth. Brush away from you gums (牙龈), too.

    Spend at least three minutes each time you brush. Play a song you like to help pass the time. Get a new toothbrush every 3 months. When you buy your toothbrush, be sure it is a good one.

    2. Learn how floss(用牙线清洁) your teeth.

    Flossing is a very important way to keep your teeth healthy. Food may hide in places where a toothbrush cannot get to, like the space between two teeth. Flossing can help get it out. Carefully move the floss between two teeth, up and down. You’ll need to floss you teeth at least once a day.

    3. Have good eating habits.

    You need to be careful about what you eat and drink. Eating sugar is a main reason of making things even worse. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables and drink water instead of other kinds of drinks.

    A 10-year-old British girl saved 100 other tourists from the Asian tsunami because she had warned them a huge body of water was on its way after learning something about these weeks earlier at school.

    “I was on the beach and the water started to go funny,” Tilly Smith told the Sun.

    “There were bubbles（水泡）and the huge waters went out suddenly. I realized at once what was happening and had a feeling that there was going to be a tsunami. I soon told mummy about this.”

    While other holidaymakers stood and watched when the disappearing waters left boats and fish on the sands. Tilly seemed to know the danger signs at once because she had just learned a school lesson on huge waves caused by the moving and shaking of the underwater earth.

    Quick action by Tilly’s mother and workers of the Thai(泰国的) hotel meant Maikhao beach was quickly cleared, just minutes before a huge wave fully swept（风浪等的席卷）the beach. The beach was one of the few on the Thai island of Phuket where no one was killed.

    Her teacher, Andrew Kearney, was proud of his quick-thinking student. “Tilly is a very bright, clear-headed girl. It happened that our class was learning about tsunami just two weeks before Christmas,” he told the newspaper.

1. What is “the Sun” in the second paragraph of the passage?

  A. It is the name of a person.           B. It is the name of a star in the sky.

  C. It is the name of a newspaper.       D. It is the name of one of the tourists.

2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. Andrew Kearney came to the Thai island of Phuket two weeks before Christmas.

  B. Tilly Smith knew a tsunami would happen, so she learned about it in her lesson.

  C. Tilly Smith and her mother went to the Thai island of Phuket for their holidays.

  D. Maikhao beach is one of few beaches in Britain where a tsunami sometimes happens.

3. What does the underlined sentence “The beach was one of the few on the Thai island of Phuket where no one was killed.” in the fifth paragraph mean?

  A. Only 100 tourists were not killed on the Thai island of Phuket.

  B. No tourists were killed on Maikhao beach in the Asian tsunami.

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面每个小题。

       An American group developed the rooftop gardening in the early 1980s. The group is known as ECHO. This idea was to help people living in cities who did not have land to grow vegetables. And now it is becoming more and more popular in many other countries.

 To build a rooftop garden, four things are necessary. You need a roof strong enough and four pieces of wood to build a box. Grass cuttings in which to plant your garden and a thin piece of plastic on which to put the cut grass are also necessary.

    Begin by testing(检测) your roof to make sure it is strong enough. Cut and collect some grass. Cover the roof with a thin piece of plastic. Then you build a box from the four pieces of wood. The box has no top or bottom. It should be about 8cm deep. 83It can be as long and as wide as needed. Put the box on the plastic. Then fill it with the cut grass. Water the grass and push it down by walking on it. After about three weeks, the rooftop box is ready for planting.

    Put the seeds(种子)directly into the wet grass. It is important that the grass is kept wet until the plants begin to grow. 84When the plants are growing, you will need to water them every day unless it rains. And birds must be prevented from eating the seeds or new plants. They will also need some liquid fertilizer (液体化肥). You can make your own liquid fertilizer if you can get wastes from chickens. Put the chicken wastes in a cloth bag. Then put the bag in a big container(容器)of water. After about one week, the water becomes a good liquid fertilizer.

    The rooftop garden is a good place to grow peas, tomatoes and onions. If the box is deep enough, potatoes and carrots also will grow.
