23、to try growing them right in the water. And in fact this is not a new idea: People in ancient Egypt were growing plants without soil more than 2,000 years ago. Moreover, the floating gardens of the Aztecs in early Mexico are another ancient example of gardening without soil. Nowadays this technique

24、is widely used. It is called hydroponic gardening.Literally, the term hydroponics means cultivating in water rather than in soil, and in fact normal soil is not used in this process. But plants are plants, and so the concerns of the hydroponic gardener are really much the same as those of any other

25、farmer. Even when they do not grow in soil, all plants need food, stability, oxygen, and protection from disease.The main nutrients required by plants are nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. Also, small amounts of other elements are needed. In the ancient hydroponic gardens of Egypt and Mexico, the

26、 growers had to rely on minerals that occurred naturally in the water. In modem hydroponic applications, workers carefully add these important minerals to pure water; in this way, the balance of waterborne nutrients can be controlled, depending on the kind of plants being grown and on the speed of g

27、rowth of the crop.Plants usually get stability from the soil around their roots. Obviously, water cannot provide this. Plants farmed hydroponically are supported either by growing through a mesh over the Water, or by sinking their roots into sand or pea-sized gravel soaked in water. Either way, the

28、plants stay upright, with their leaves exposed to the sun. They need no soil because, in this system, they do not derive nutrients from the medium that gives them stability.Oxygen is another essential requirement. The roots as well as the leaves of all plants must be able to breathe. If insufficient

29、 oxygen reaches its roots, a plant will die. To fulfill this need, hydroponic farmers usually keep the nutrient water flowing all the time. As the water circulates, it is aerated by splashing from one container to another: The splashing process increases the amount of absorbed air in the water.Final

30、ly, plants need a healthy environment. Especially when plants of the same species are grown close together, there is a real danger that diseases may spread quickly. A very clean growing medium will reduce this risk. Soil, the natural planting medium, may contain many harmful diseases or pests, but h

31、ydroponic gardening does not use soil. Starting with pure water and clean sand or gravel, the hydroponic gardener avoids many uncertainties.In these ways, hydroponics can overcome important agricultural challenges. For instance, hydroponic farming is able to produce worthwhile crops in regions where

32、 the soil is too poor for ordinary gardens, or where the supply of water is too scarce for normal irrigation. Also, even in fertile areas, hydroponic greenhouse makes it possible to cultivate small areas extremely densely: This can be very profitable during winter in cold climates, such as Canada or

33、 the Northern United States. Such considerations may not have mattered to the ancient Egyptians or Aztecs, but they are the basis of a thriving hydroponics industry today.（分数：5.00）(1).Which sentence best describes the main idea of the article?（分数：1.00）A.Hydroponic gardening is ideal for locations wh

34、ere water is too scarce for normal irrigation.B.Hydroponic gardening solved the problem of plant stability.C.Hydroponic gardening makes it possible for plants to be grown inside in countries with a cold winter.D.Hydroponic gardening is not only a very old technique but also a very modem one with gre

38、s to your teeth. They are ground, braced, brushed, flossed, polished, drilled, filled, and if you do not take care of them, pulled. For your teeth, proper oral care is as essential as anything else you do for your body and your generally health. Fortunately, if there is any damage to your teeth mode

39、m dentistry techniques make it easier, faster and less painful to get the problem fixed.By definition, dentistry includes the study, diagnosis, treatment and the prevention of disease of the mouth, teeth, gum and jawbones. Todays dentists use sophisticated equipment and pain- preventing medicines, b

40、ut these have not always been around.The earliest historical records of dentistry are from Egypt from around 3600 BC. Aesculapius, a Greek physician who lived around 1250 BC, is credited with the idea of pulling disease teeth. Hippocrates, around 400 BC, wrote of applying ointments and using brandin

41、g irons to treat disease of the mouth. Through the Middle Ages wealthy people were treated by physicians and surgeons, while poor people could look to the local barber to pull painful teeth.Modem dentistry emerged with the release of Pierre Fauchards book The Surgeon Dentist, A Treatise on Teeth. Fa

42、uchard is considered the father of modem dentistry. Later, the first school devoted to teaching dentistry opened in Baltimore in the USA in 1840.Green Vardiman Black invented a foot engine so dentists would have two free hands while using the dental drill. He also came up with the idea that gum dise

43、ase was an infection caused by bacteria. This was later confirmed in 1960. An important contribution was made in 1944 when Dr. Horace Wells, a Connecticut dentist, first used nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as an oral anesthetic; today this method of administering anesthetic is employed for many dental

44、 and medical surgeries. The introduction of fluoride in toothpaste in the 1960s was a huge breakthrough; teenagers and adults today have a 50% better chance of not developing tooth decay.The 1990s saw a change in thinking when it came to fillings for cavities in teeth. Since the early 1800s silver a

45、malgam-a combination of silver, tin and mercury-has been the standard filling compound. But modern fears about mercury poisoning have led many people to have their amalgam fillings replaced with plastic polymer fillings. Besides not having any mercury, plastic polymers have an advantage over metal f

46、illings because the color can be matched to the surroundings tooth and the material can be chemically bonded to the tooth.Dentistry methods are sure to advance even more in the future. Things such as laser technology, which is used to eliminate diseased tissue or weld together damaged parts of teeth

47、, will soon become a common practice in dentists offices. And computer-assisted technology is ushering in new advances in the area of tooth restoration. The primary goal of dentists is to develop early detection methods to prevent dental conditions from turning into dental problems.Caring for your teeth properly will lessen the number of visits you make to the dentist.
