What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist(牙医)may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first．In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy．

The simplest thing to do is put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk．Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth．He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液)．He also tried, just drying the teeth in the open air．He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons．The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液)or stored in the air for one hour．Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped-off the teeth．Dr．Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were．

The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth．However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school．

The next best thing was milk．But Dr．Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽)in the mouth．For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting．So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth)to a dentist．

This passage is mainly about              ．

A．milk works better to keep the tooth healthy  B．milk causes less pain

C．cell-culture medium is not usually handy    D．cell-culture medium is more expensive

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays（光线）left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.

      Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say “ The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say, “ The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”

Light speed is ________ than sound speed.

A. millions times faster               B. a million times slower

C. about millions of times faster       D. about a million times faster

B. sound does not travel as fast as light.

C. the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun.

D. sound travels about a million times faster than light.

What does “ it” refer to?

A. moon light    B. light rays         C. the nearest star        D. the moon

A. the stars have been shining all the time.

B. the stars seen tonight will be shining four years later.

C. the stars were shining long ago but are seen tonight.

D. the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago.

Love cures people—both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.

    I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him   41  that the main reason why I was  42  with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years old had recently died of a heart attack . A(n)   43  in Boston would also help me reduce some of the pain of the loss. Bruce ,the interviewer ,was politely sympathetic, and didn’t probe(探查) any  44  .He acknowledged my loss and ,with great respect ,moved on to another  45 .

    After the next  46  of interview , Bruce took me to lunch with another manager .Then he asked me to take a  47  with him. He told me that he ,  48 , had lost his wife .And he had also been married 20 years and had three children.
