A “Gap Year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. It is often spent traveling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills. It's very popular in foreign countries.

1.

Although you don't have to go abroad to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.

2.

A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time of challenges. Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn't always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.

3.

There's a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it's not true. Actually, taking a gap year can save you a lot of money. Gap year students often take a part?time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals can keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money.

Bad teeth can be painful and even be deadly. Infections of the gums (牙齦) and teeth can release bacteria into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults are not the only ones at risk. For example, a 12?-year-?old boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain in 2007 in Washington. Experts said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care he needed.

Experts say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk，they say，is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth. But dentists say a baby’s gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding by using a cloth with a little warm water. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, give only water.

When baby teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently. The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (釉質(zhì))，the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.

But young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So young children should be carefully watched when they brush their teeth. And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste, the size of a pea, should be used.

Parents often wonder what effect finger sucking might have on their baby’s teeth. Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life. Most children stop sucking their fingers by the age of four. If it continues，experts advise parents to talk to their children’s dentists or doctors because it could interfere with the correct development of permanent teeth.

Dentists say children should have their first dental visit at least by the time they are one year old. They say babies should be examined when their first teeth appear—usually at around six months.

1.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Bad teeth can be a threat to people’s health.

B. Bad teeth come along with other health problems.

C. Tooth infections can spread to brain easily.

D. Dental care should be done at an early age.

2.According to the passage, what is the function of fluoride?

A. Making the surface on teeth much cleaner.

B. Protecting gums from being infected.

C. Keeping holes on teeth from forming.

D. Slowing down bacterial growth and acid production.

3.What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?

A. To warn us of the deadly infections of gums and teeth.

B. To introduce the advantages of fluoridated toothpaste.

C. To draw our attention to the dental care of young children.

D. To present the research results about dental care.
