How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, 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 toothache before they see a dentist

Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a tooth brush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our 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 cake are bad, especially when we eat them between meals They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay

The shoemaker

Bill Bird is a shoe maker who cannot make shoes fast enough for his growing number of customers- and he charges more than £300 for a pair! Customers travel hundreds of kilometers to his London shoe clinic or to his workshop in the countryside to have their feet measured He makes shoes for people with feet of unusual sizes: very large, very small, very broad or very narrow The shoes are at least as fashionable as those found in ordinary shops

Mr Bird says: “My problem is that I cannot find skilled workers Young people seem to prefer

to work with computers these days We will lose the necessary skills soon because there are fewer and fewer shoemakers nowadays I am 45, and now I want to teach young people everything I know about making shoes It’s a good job, and a lot of people want to buy beautiful shoes specially made for them.”

He started in the business 19 years ago and now he employs three other people His customers pay about £500 for the first pair of shoes He says: “Our customers come because they want comfortable shoes which are exactly the right size.” Extra pair of shoes cost between £320 and

Passage 2

Although stage plays have been set to music since the era of the ancient Greeks, when the dramas of Sophocles and Aeschylus were accompanied by lyres and flutes, the usual accepted date for the beginning of opera as we know it is 1600 As part of the celebration of the marriage of King Henry IV of France to the Italian aristocrat Maria de Medici, the Florentine composer JapocoPeri produced his famous Euridice, generally considered to be the first opera Following

his example, a group of Italian musicians called the Camerata began to revive the style of musical

story that had been used in Greek tragedy

For several years, the center of opera was Florence, but gradually it spread throughout Italy and into Europe The European form de-emphasized the dramatic aspect New orchestral effects and even ballets were introduced under the guise of opera Composers gave into the demands of singers, writing many operas that were nothing more than a succession of brilliant tricks for the voice Arias, recitative, and duets evolved The aria, which is a long solo, may be compared to a song The recitative, which is also a solo, is a recitation set to music, whereas the duet is a musical piece written for two voices

31 What is the main idea of this passage?

A opera in Italy B the Camerata C the development of opera D Euridice

32 The reason why Euridice was produced is that ………

A it was the first opera B it was famous

C it was originally Sophocles and Aeschylus D it was for the wedding of King Henry IV

33 What was the Camerata?

A A group of Italian musicians

B Musicians who developed a new musical drama based upon Greek drama

C A style of music not known in Italy

D The name given to the court of King Henry IV

34 Which of the following is an example of a solo?

35 What does “his” in line 5 refer to?

A King Henry IV B Maria de Medici C JapocoPeri D the Florentine
