Willa Cather once said，"When people ask me whether writing has been a hard or easy road，I always answer with the famous saying：The end is nothing; the road is all. That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never used the computer with the thought that one more task had to be done.”

Like most writers，Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her，but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were，like her，simple and full of the vigor of her days in Nebraska，where she grew from child to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the great plain with its wild flowers，wheat fields and rivers.

“It's a rather strange thing about the flat country，”she wrote later. “It takes hold of you，it leaves you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull；they like a church tower，an old factory，a waterfall，the country all made to look like a German Christmas card…But when I come to the open plain，something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently.”

C. some find the place warm；others find it cold

D. some find the place peaceful；others find it wild

Japan’s nuclear crisis is also causing concerns in China. Worried shoppers rushed to stores and supermarkets in the country for salt, with the belief that it might protect them from potential nuclear radiation spreading from Japan.

?Many rushed to stores to buy as much iodized salt (加碘盐)as possible because of the rumor that iodized salt could help prevent radiation poisoning spreading from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Consumers also worried that the nuclear cloud might spread to China by air and sea, polluting food sources, including salt taken from the sea.

The wave of panic buying spread quickly across the country, driving up salt prices by five to ten times in some cities.

?Even regions rich in salt production, like Jiangxi Province，faced sudden shortages.

The government took measures to guarantee enough supply and to stabilize（稳定）the market. It also dismissed the nuclear rumors, saying the nuclear fallout was unlikely to reach the country, and that salt did not help to prevent radiation poisoning.

?Local governments have stepped in to stabilize the market, too. As well, state-owned salt companies have been urged to increase their supply.

?Facing expanding market demand, distribution centers have taken extra measures to ensure they are well-prepared.

?Wang Yun, the General Manager of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation, said, "Our storage can guarantee a two-month supply for the Beijing market."

29. People made panic purchases of salt for the reasons EXCEPT______________.

A. salt might protect them from potential nuclear radiation

Bad teeth can be painful and worse. They can even be deadly. Infections (感染）of the gums (牙龈）and the teeth can cause bacteria (细菌）to go into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults are not the only ones at risk. For example, in 2007, doctors in the Washington area said a boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain. They said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care (牙齿保健）he needed. He was twelve years old.

Experts at the National Institutes of Health 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 the growth of bacteria and acid production in the mouth.

But dentists say a baby's gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, only give the child 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 (法琅质)， the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.

32. According to the passage, bad teeth can be ____________.

A. painful B. deadly C. preventive D. incurable

33. The writer uses the boy's death as an example to show that _______.

A. not only adults but the young may suffer from teeth problem

B. babies with bad teeth can easily die

C. the doctors should be responsible for the case

D. the boy was not fed with his breast milk

34. What's the main idea of paragraph 4 and 5?

A. How to develop babies' teeth. B. Why to protect babies' teeth

C. How to keep babies' teeth clean D. Why to keep babies' teeth clean

35. The passage tells us that _______.

A. Enamel is most widely used to protect teeth in the world

B. Bad teeth may affect the health of adults and the young

C. Breast milk can cure babies' bad teeth

D. Babies' teeth should be brushed once per day
