    　　The more I learn about how your oral health can affect your overall health, the more of a brushing fanatic(狂热者)I am．But it wasn’t always that way．As a kid, I resisted tooth-brushing at bedtime－what a bore!I remember my mom asking if I’d brushed my teeth．I’d say yes and she’d say “Let me smell your breath,” so she could confirm it with a smell of Crest．But I’d learned just to take a bite of toothpaste right from the tube, without even making contact with a brush．What a stupid mistake!Soon my teeth were full of holes－something I’ve regretted ever since．

    　　In those days we weren’t much into preventive care at either the dentist or doctor．That wasn’t part of the way of thinking of my parents’ generation, who grew up during the Great Depression．We didn’t know how important it could be, either．"So much of dental care is reactionary．”says Mark Helpin, head of dentistry at Temple University．“Parents will bring their children in only if there’s a problem．”

    　　Medical research has shown the dangers of tooth decay(蛀牙)and gum disease, including heart disease, low birth weight in babies, dangerous and even deadly infections and now maybe Alzheimer’s disease(老年痴呆)．There’s no longer any excuse to avoid regular dental checkups and careful oral maintenance－especially with young kids to get them started on the right path．It’s important to establish a relationship with a dentist the same way you would with a pediatrician．

    　　The Alzheimer’s news is especially alarming．We reported back in January on a study at the University of Kentucky that found a preliminary link between tooth loss and dementia．Now there’s further evidence, thanks to a study presented last week at the Alzheimer's Association 2008 International Conference in Chicago．While this study in no way proves that gum disease causes Alzheimer’s, it’s pretty clear that the inflammation and immune response to these harmful bacteria aren’t good!

    　　It takes less than a minute to brush your teeth．It takes two minutes to do a thorough job of brushing your teeth．If doing those two things twice a day may save me from mental disease later, I’m never going to miss these small tasks again－and neither should you．

    Dear Carol,
    I wear braces （牙箍） and I know I look just terrible in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?
    Connie N.
    Philadelphia, PA
    Dear Connie,
    Start by thinking about how good you are going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits:
    Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of hair （fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.） Choose a hairstyle that draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.
    Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup（化妆品）, it should look natural. Blusher（腮红） and lip gloss（润唇膏） in light tones of peach or pink are best.
    Be well-groomed（打扮）. Neatness really counts. People see a total look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first impressions are lasting ones!
    68. Why did Connie write to Carol?
    A. Because she really cared about her clothes.
    B. Because she cared much about her appearance.
    C. Because her teeth were not good.
    D. Because she didn’t know how to make up.
    69. Carol’s idea about one’s appearance is that ___________.
    A. change your hairstyle and you will look beautiful
    B. wear your make-up and you will look good
    C. neatness is not important
    D. if you yourself don’t think you look smart, neither will people
    70. Carol tries to let Connie know that ___________.
    A. the deepest impressions one leaves on others is the first ones
    B. spirits are important when we talk about one’s appearance
    C. there are some practical ways to draw people’s attention away from where you don’t feel good 
    D. all of the above
    71. The underlined word “count” means “___________” in the last paragraph.
    A. say numbers in order        B. be of importance           C. not include        D. be accepted
