This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties-in other words, when they are older and wiser.Wisdom
7、teeth are chewing teeth, at the back of the mouth. They can grow into place normally and never cause a problem. But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth. They might crowd other teeth. Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums(牙床).An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to
8、 completely rise through the gum-the term is erupt. Wisdom teeth that only partially erupt can leave space for bacteria to enter around the tooth. Infection is a risk in these cases.Wisdom teeththat are not well in place and become impacted are often removed. People should have the placement of thei
9、r wisdom teeth examined between the ages of sixteen and twenty. X-rays can show wisdom teeth that are below the gums.The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums. Removal is also advised if there is a chance that poorly placed
10、 wisdom teeth will damage other teeth. And removal is called for in cases where fluid collects around a wisdom tooth that is partly or fully below the gum.But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed? One theory has to do with our diets. Scientists say the diet of prehistoric
11、 humans probably required more chewing teeth. Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then, too. So it was good to have extras.The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial (上颌面的) Surgeons says young adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal. The group says older pati
12、ents may be at greater risk for disease in the tissue surrounding the teeth.After surgery, there can be swelling of the gums and face and some pain.

To do that, you need to stop cramming new knowledge into your head.Psychologist Joanne Mills says most people can concentrate for 45 minutes to an hour a
19、t a time, but then need 15 minutes to rest. She suggests picking your break activitytaking a walk, listening to musicand setting a timer for 15 minutes. “Its a cue to your mind“ she says.Mills also suggests setting targets and stopping when youve reached them. “Some students will take that break eve
20、n if they havent finished what they set out to do and then they dont really relax or enjoy it because their mind is racing with I must, I should, I have to.“ If youre in the flow, ride the momentum until you come to a natural break in the material, then set the timer again and walk to the corner sto
21、re.Alternating which books youre hitting also helps. Work on English for an hour, then switch to math.

27、assage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)All friendships require a certain amount of chemistry. But when two people of the opposite sex become friends, sometimes those friendly feelings can start to resemble something more like sexual tension.Male-female friendships can be an emotional minefield of hidden desires. D
28、oes this mean you secretly want to jump into bed with all of your friends? Of course not. But do you ever wonder how many of them might be interested if the opportunity presented itself? Maybe you and your platonic (柏拉图式的) friendship are just a bad breakup and a bottle of wine away from crossing tha
29、t boundary and hooking up(结合).So can two people of the opposite sex ever really be “just friends?“ The Hollywood answer to this age-old question is a decisive HELL NO. On screen, male-female friendships always turn into something more. Harry and Sally, Chandler and Monica, Jim and Pam . do I need to
30、 go on? Even the characters in Just Friends wind up becoming much more than the films definitive title suggests. Cinematic stories dictate that when reasonably attractive men and women befriend one another, they are always on the road to romance, whether they realize it or not.But how much truth is
31、there to this friendship as foreplay (性爱前奏) theory? Not a whole lot. Real life isnt a romantic comedy. Men and women go to school together, work together and hang out in plenty of platonic settings without falling hopelessly in love with one another.Last year, a close female friend of mine moved in
32、with a new male roommate. My immediate reaction was, “You two are definitely going to sleep together.“ It seemed to me that a single man and woman living under the same roof would inevitably end up doing it. Much to my surprise, the roommate romance never happened. Almost one year later, the two of
33、them have never even come close to seeing each other naked. Instead, their way of life has come to resemble a sexless marriage. They cook for each other, argue over domestic chores and insist that they never, ever think about each other “that way./（分数：10.00）(1).The author believes that two people of
34、 the same sex can _.A. really be just friendsB. never be just friendsC. have nothing but romanceD. work together better than the same sex（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph, under the right opportunity, platonic friendship can easily _.A. cross the ethnic boundar

37、 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It is the worlds fourth-most-important food crop, after maize, wheat and rice. It provides more calories, more quickly, using less land and in a wider range of climates than any other plant. It is, of course, the potato.The United Nations has hoped that greater awareness of the mer
38、its of potatoes will contribute to the achievement of its Millennium Development Goals, by helping to reduce poverty and promote economic development.The potato promoted economic development by supporting the Industrial Revolution in England in the 19th century. It provided a cheap source of calorie
39、s and was easy to cultivate, so it liberated workers from the land. Potatoes became popular in the north of England, as people there specialized in livestock farming and domestic industry, while farmers in the south concentrated on wheat production. By a happy accident, the concentrated industrial a
40、ctivity in the regions where coal was readily available, and a potato-driven population boom provided ample workers for the new factories. Friedrich Engels even declared that the potato was the equal of iron for its “historically revolutionary role“.In the form of French fries, served alongside burg
41、ers and Coca-Cola, potatoes are now a symbol of globalization. This is quite a change given the skepticism which first greeted them on their arrival in the Old World in the 16th century. They were variously thought to be fit only for animals, to be associated with the devil or to be poisonous. They
42、took hold in 18th- century Europe only when war and famine meant there was nothing else to eat; people then realized just how useful and reliable they were. As Adam Smith, one of the potatos many admirers, observed at the time, “The very general use which is made of potatoes in these kingdoms as foo
43、d for man is a convincing proof that the prejudices of a nation, with regard to diet, however deeply rooted, are by no means unconquerable.“ Mashed, fried, boiled and roast, a humble potato changed the world, and people everywhere should celebrate it.（分数：10.00）(1).Paragraph 3 mainly describes _.A. w
