Goodbye to teeth

This all started a few months ago, when I had a dull pain in the back of my mouth, around where one of my wisdom teeth was supposed to be coming in. I thought it was a pain that I could live with for a while.

However, during the next few weeks, the pain became more intense, spreading to my teeth, gums and jaw. I was told I had seven wisdom teeth.

Yes, you read that correctly, seven — three more than a normal person. My first reaction when

I heard was to laugh. It's just my luck. My mouth wanted to do more work than it had to.

Focusing on the positive, one of the great things about having extra teeth is watching people's reactions when they find out. So far, I haven't grown tired of repeating myself.

The extra teeth are also a good excuse for me being tongue-tied. I can now blame it on my overcrowded mouth rather than my slow brain.

Of course, with wisdom teeth come the intellect jokes. My parents say my intelligence comes from my extra teeth and not my hard work. My friends agree that once the teeth are pulled, my brain will be that of a 5-year-old.

I've also thought about how I might profit from this. If only I still believed in the tooth fairy，I could make a lot of cash. Maybe I could sell my extras to someone in need. Advertisement: Seven teeth for sale, unused, in almost perfect condition.

Don't be fooled by my jokes. I am worried about having surgery. I'm also going to be sad to see the Lucky Seven go. I've developed quite an attachment to them over the past two days. Once they're removed, I’ll just be normal again, and who wants that?

24. When the author found that she had three more wisdom teeth than a normal person, she______.

A. found it quite funny B. dealt with the pain calmly

C. was confused and anxious D. kept it secret from others

25. The intellect jokes from the author’s family and friends were intended to_______.

A. persuade the author not to remove her wisdom teeth

B. advise the author to work hard to improve her intelligence

C. make fun of the author in a light-hearted way

D. let the author know why she is often tongue-tied

26. When the author came up with the idea of tooth fairy, she_______.

A. believed that her wisdom teeth would grow back

B. thought she could rely on it to make a living

C. had already made up her mind to make money

D. was deeply aware that the idea couldn’t become reality

27. What’s the article mainly about?

A. People’s different reactions to the author’s wisdom teeth

B. How the author has gotten on with her extra wisdom teeth

C. The author’s ideas for making use of her wisdom teeth

D. How the author has decided to remove her wisdom teeth

C

A British tourist missing in Peru was seen by a local shortly after he was reported to have disappeared, a charity has said.

Harry Greaves went missing on 7 April after he announced plans to spend a day on a solo mountain walk. The Lucie Blackman Trust said it was using an aircraft without a pilot to search the area around the village of Pisac. Mr Greaves was reportedly seen heading towards the village, although the sighting is unconfirmed. The 29-year-old, who is originally from Bronygarth near Oswestry, Shropshire, was expected to return on 10 April.

Mr Greaves, a furniture maker who lives in Wrexham, arrived in Peru on 20 February, and attended a living course before visiting friends. He had emailed his family twice to tell them how much he was enjoying the visit. Ellen Greaves said a yellow tent spotted on a mountainside was almost certainly not owned by her brother. She said the British Embassy was now assisting, but called for a “more coordinated effort” from authorities. “What we really need is someone to be a central point of contact and coordinate the search and rescue,” she said. “So far it's been Harry's friends — they're doing an amazing job, but they're not experienced in this.”

Relatives have set up a fundraising page to find Mr Greaves, which has raised more than ￡27,000, exceeding its original ￡25,000 target. “He is an extremely genuine and caring person who acts from his heart and with pure honesty,” his family wrote on the page.

28. How soon was Harry Greaves expected to get back before he was missing?

A. In one day. B. In two days. C. In three days. D. In four days.

29. What was really needed to rescue Harry according to Ellen Greaves?

A. The help offered by the Lucie Blackman Trust.

B. The money raised by Harry's relatives.

C. The efforts made by Harry's friends.

D. Someone experienced in being central of rescue

30. What does the underlined word “exceeding” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Going beyond. B. Equaling. C. Coming to. D. Achieving.

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Harry Greaves: a Missing tourist 'spotted' in Peru.

B. Harry Greaves: a good traveler.

C. A very emergent rescue in Peru.

D. The great aid from Harry Greaves’ friends and relatives.

When we see men paying attention to their appearance, it’s easy to assume that they’re just trying to get partners. But our research on beards?shows?that beards probably evolved at least partly to help men strengthen their standing among other men.

Men and women on average?look very different?from each other – partly thanks to men’s facial hair. And when we see differences between males and females, the explanation often boils down to evolution through?sexual selection?– the process that favours something that increases mating opportunities.

But interestingly, women don’t seem that interested in beards. While some studies have found that women like?a bit?or even?a lot?of facial hair on men,?other studies?have reported that?they prefer the clean-shaven look. The lack of consistent evidence means we can’
