It is common knowledge that our teeth are generally quite sensitive to pain. But wouldn't it be better if they could just chew away under any conditions? In spite of our dental discomfort, it turns out there's a good reason our teeth are so sensitive. To begin with, we should understand how our teeth can hurt. A normal tooth has three layers, and only the innermost layer, called the pulp, can feel pain. This is because it contains a large number of nerves that scientists call afferent sensory fibres, and they only respond to one sensation: pain. So, whereas people with tooth sensitivity may complain of tooth pain triggered by heat or cold, the nerves in the pulp don’t actually sense temperature, but instead only feel pain. So, what's the point? Whenever a tooth is being damaged, pain acts as a signal that we can easily perceive, which urges us to avoid making things worse, said Julius Manz, spokesperson for the American Dental Association. "If you eat something too hot or chew something too cold, or if the tooth is worn down to the point where the underlying tissue underneath is exposed, all of those things cause pain, and then the pain tells the person that they should not use that tooth or do something to try to protect it a little bit more. So, it's really a protective mechanism more than anything," Manz explained. If teeth didn't feel pain, we might continue to use them in situations that damage them so much that they break or have to be removed completely, Manz said. And for humans, this can be a big problem because, unlike sharks and alligators, we can't replace them when they are broken.

Paragraph 4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. [I] For many people, ‘working from home’ has become ‘working from bed’. [II] According to a study in 2020, 72% of the 1,000 Americans surveyed reported that they had worked remotely from their bed during the COVID-19 pandemic. [III] However, turning beds into work offices can lead to health problems, both mental and physical. [IV] According to Susan Hallbeck, director of health-care-system engineering at the Mayo Clinic, one of the largest medical research institutions in the US, young people are especially likely to fall victim to these bad habits because they may not notice the damage right away. But over time, adverse effects will emerge, including headaches, permanent stiffness in your back, arthritis and cervical pain, which is pain in the bones, ligaments and muscles in your neck that allow motion. And depending on how bad your habits have been over this last year, the damage may have already been done. This is why if you must continue working from bed, try recreating the experience of sitting in an upright chair as much as you can. When you work from bed for a long time, it doesn’t just affect your body. Setting up your workstation on your own bed and your brain and body will eventually stop associating bed with rest, making it harder to sleep. In other words, you are ‘teaching’ your brain that the bed is not for sleeping but for staying awake and focusing on your work. That’s a big reason why the pandemic has led to ‘coronasomnia’ - the global increase in insomnia and sleep disorders that has accompanied COVID-19. And when your sleep habits are disrupted, your productivity, creativity and concentration will be reduced, resulting in negative impacts on your work performance. Some people claim that this is not an issue for them: they can still work in bed without problems. Despite this, it must be remembered that the consequences will not occur right away for everyone. Many actors like genetics, environmental factors, how bad the habits are, how long you do them, and your age, whether working from bed for a year or longer is going to be bad for you. So, although your body and brain may feel great right now, this will not always be the case. It may seem like an unnecessary concern in the stressful COVID-19 era, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
