Whether those check-ups are
32、 really necessary is, however, a matter of debate. In 2000, three-quarters of dentists surveyed in New York were recommending six-monthly check-ups, despite the absence of evidence. Today, many organizations still recommend six-monthly check-ups. But for several decades some have been arguing that t
33、he choice of six months as the ideal space between visits is rather questionable. For example, Aubrey Sheiham, a professor of dental public health, published a paper complaining about the lack of evidence for six-monthly check-ups. Almost 40 years, hes still making the same point.Last year the Cochr
34、ane Collaboration performed a review of the research that had been done and they were disappointed with what they found. The quality and quantity of the research was simply too poor to back up the idea of six-monthly check-ups. Theres something else we have to bear in mind. Even when a study finds,
35、for example, that children who go to the dentist frequently have fewer fillings, there may be other factors(因素) at work. Those same children may have other advantages; they may eat more healthily and have better quality dental equipment.How often should you visit the dentist, then? Bodies like Nice,
36、 which provides guidance for the National Health Service in England and Wales, say that the frequency of dental visits all depends on the individual. They recommend that children go at least once a year because their teeth can decay(蛀蚀) faster, while adults without problems can wait as long as two y
37、ears. They even go as far as to say that longer than two years is OK for people who have shown commitment to caring for their teeth.Where does this leave the rest of us the next time we receive a card in the mail reminding us our next dental visit is due? Wed all like an excuse to go less often, and
38、 the good news is that if you dont have any problems you can probably wait a little longer than six months between visits. But exactly how long you can wait before your appointment with the dentists chair will depend on the assessment you and your dentist make of your own risk. 63. Who supports six-
39、monthly dental check-ups? A. All the dentists.B. Many organizations.C. Aubrey Sheiham.英语第一学期期末试卷 第 7 页（共 15 页）D. The National Health Service.64. The research may not prove the idea of six-monthly check-ups because _. A. the researchers were not qualifiedB. the number of the subjects was bigC. there
40、might be other factors at workD. there was a lack of quality dental equipment65. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that _. A. people often find excuses to avoid the next dental visitB. the frequency of dental visits varies for different peopleC. people should decide when to go to the dentist
41、 by themselvesD. the healthier a person is, the less frequent the dental visits are66. What is the best title for this passage? A. How can we go to the dentist less?B. Why do we need to visit our dentist?C. Who should go to the dentist frequently?D. How often do we need to visit our dentist?DDo we r
42、eally know our best friends?I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously. Its generally held that friends are
43、people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable, or similar to our own, and yet experience regularly contradicts this. What is a friend, really? All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again.The truth is th
44、at we dont know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesnt appear to lessen as a friendship deepens. When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms, the
45、y found that, as time passed, people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other, and yet, in reality, the judgments grew no more accurate. Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each others inner lives. This seems strange, unt
46、il you consider, that many of the benefits that friendship provides dont necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. Friendship may be less about being drawn to someones personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company, or lend an ear.
47、 A friend provides the “social-identity support” we desire. You neednt be a close match with someone, nor deeply familiar with their mind. And once a friendship has begun, you want to like it, if only to confirm that you made the right decision. We dont want to know everything about our friends. We dont base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people, and what to ignore, based on having decided to be friends.Perhaps theres something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep e
