well as infrastructure like communication networks and electrical towers. Thousands of
people died or are missing, and more than 45 million people were affected by the
earthquake, which has been the worst natural disaster to hit China for 30 years.
The American Red Cross has contributed $20 million to support the relief and
recovery efforts of the Red Cross Society of China. These funds will be used to assist
survivors through the purchase and distribution of relief supplies, coordination of
logistics and transportation of disaster workers to the hardest hit areas. The American

Red Cross has also sent relief experts to the affected area to help monitor and coordinate
the response efforts. On June 6, the American Red Cross co-hosted a forum to address the
U.S. response and recovery efforts following the earthquake. More than 30

workers, relief supplies or financial assistance.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also
help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel
covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the
decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel

quite ill
How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firsly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He
can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to
check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
21

toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and
fluoride toothpast at least twice a day – once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We
can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between out teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat
food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice,
raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits, and cakes are bad, especially when
we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay
46. Good teeth help us to ____
A. have good eyesigh B. be important
C. chew our food D. have good health

There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that
the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of
rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the
single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball
became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London
Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870. At
first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick

of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive
under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The
introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a game
23

that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a
soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being
thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be
taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came
up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on
the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored
the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the
surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888. The game featured the old
rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American style" water polo
became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square
Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship
games.
