27、   May 14 marks the beginning of National Smile Month in the UK. The campaign is organized by the Oral Health Foundation to promote(普及) dental(牙齿的) health. The Foundation hopes that a month of smiling across the nation will make people think about the importance of brushing their teeth regularly, cutting down on sugary foods, and making regular appointments with the dentist.

The British, in fact, have a reputation for bad teeth. The Internet's Urban Dictionary has an entry(条目)for “ British Smile”, defining it as “Any smile with bad teeth”. On the other side of the Atlantic, however, the “Hollywood Smile” gets its name because American movie stars are so proud to show off their sparkling beautiful teeth.

But what about smiling in the UK in general? Do the British smile a lot, or do they look sad all the time? It's said that the British practice the “stiff upper lip”, meaning that they don't often show their emotions; they neither smile nor cry. But this is false: A British person likes to smile as much as anyone else.

As far as smiling in Britain is concerned just like everywhere else, it all depends on the situation. For example, you wouldn't expect anyone to smile at a funeral(葬礼). But if you were at a party of any kind, you'd find everyone smiling from ear to ear. However, smiling is sometimes not allowed under some circumstances(情形). For instance, since 2005 Britain hasn’t allowed smiling in passport photographs. At other times, for example at work and school, you simply smile when it's natural to smile.

So the British are no more and no less likely to smile than anyone else. But smiling is good for you, no doubt about it, even if you do have a few bad teeth. And smiling is good for those around you too. This alone makes National Smile Month a great idea. As the essayist William Hazlitt wrote, “A gentle smile, a kind word, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles”.

【1】Why is National Smile Month held in the UK?

A.To promote the health benefits of smiling.

B.To build a more friendly society through smiling.

C.To attract people's attention to dental health.

D.To teach people how to protect their teeth.

【2】What does the underlined word “sparkling” refer to?

A.aging B.loose

C.smelly D.shining

【3】What can we learn from the article about smiling in the UK?

A.People can’t smile when taking passport photos.

B.British people are less likely to smile than others.

C.People are encouraged to smile all the time at work.

D.British people often hide their true emotions with a smile.

【4】What does the author think of National Smile Month?

A.It lasts too long. B.It is a wonderful event.

C.It fails to achieve its purpose. D.It should be promoted around the world.

28、Staying fit is a great way to improve your mood and physical health. With some simple tricks, you can stay fit for years to come!

Start walking, jogging or cycling

Come up with a daily walking, jogging or cycling routine that fits with your schedule first. After a while you can increase your distance, speed and the length of your workout.

It was getting ready to be turned off because she didn't have enough money to pay the phone bill.

The young girl and mother seemed to be clinging to each other and talked together as I made my phone call, not really paying me much attention as the people at the other end of the phone told me to come on, I was not too late, and then told me how to get there As I stood to leave, suddenly, I reached into my wallet where I don't usually have cash and pulled out all. I had a $20 bill. I pressed it into the mother’s hand and then turned to leave quickly because 1 didn’t want to take the credit for it.
