(2 points) DENTAL HYGIENE Surveys have shown that people not only fear going to the dentist, they also seem to be afraid of brushing their teeth! Everyone knows how much scary the sound of a dentist’s drill is, and how unpleasant the smells in the waiting room are, and before going to the dentist we all
3 imagine horrible things to happening. Since this is the case, why do so many people not bother to prevent from dental problems in the first place by taking a proper care of their teeth? Dentists are being horrified by the number of people who visit them only when they cannot stand the pain of a bad tooth any longer and the tooth in the question has to be pulled out. To have healthy, problem-free teeth you should have brush for three to five minutes at least twice a day, replace with your toothbrush every three months and visit the dentist for a check-up twice a year – then you’ll have no more dental nightmares!

The experiment was carried out in all parts of Britain. MUSIC TO HELP YOUR BRAIN 0. I Listening to pop music may make you cleverer, according to a Megalab experiment in which 11,000 children in 250 schools across Britain took part. 50. ___________ The idea was put toward as a scientific study by Dr Sue Hallam of the Institute of Education, London, to follow up work in California which suggested that listening to music by Mozart for ten minutes had a direct effect on people’s ability to work out problems. 51. ___________ The Megalab experiment took place at eleven o’clock one Thursday morning. School children were split at random into three separate groups: one listening to Mozart, one to a pop group and one to a conversation in which Dr Hallam discussed Megalab. 52. ___________ The children were then given problem-solving tasks. The group which had listened to the discussion scored 52 per cent, those who had listened to Mozart also scored 52 per cent, but those who had listened to the pop group scored 56 per cent. Dr Hallam said the result is interesting and “approaching significance”. 53. ___________ She thought that the reason was not due to the “Mozart effect” but because the mood of the children had changed, so they were more aroused and tried harder. “They were probably enjoying it and so they were well motivated,” she said. “The others were probably uninterested or not particularly inspired by Mozart or by the discussion.” 54. ___________ Dr Frances Rauscher, of the Centre for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory in Berkeley, California, had suggested that students would do better after listening to Mozart because his music is complex and stimulates particular activity in the brain. 55. ___________ However, Dr Hallam did not dismiss the Californian idea, because the experiments were performed on adults, who may process music differently. 56. ___________ The Minister for Science said, “If the results are conclusive, we could see a whole new approach in the future to the way pupils are taught in school.” III.
