Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I   16  love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good   17 for the team.
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the   18 . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five-member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替補).  19 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a   20 and the top eight scorers(得分者) would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a   21 way to decide.
Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up(陣容). Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a few hours, all the   22 on the team were chosen except one. Carla and I tied(打成平手) for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition   23 the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead(領(lǐng)先).  24 I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted   25 even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla   26 , just by a little bit. She felt sorry for my not being on the team as she   27 she would be on the show. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the fun of   28 the show up close.
Was I cheating(欺騙) by not trying as hard as I could? I don’t think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn’t   29 it. It won’t hurt the team   30 Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

What is the strongest part of your body? Your head? Bones? It’s your teeth! There is a special thing called enamel (牙釉質(zhì)) in teeth. It is the hardest thing in the human body and keeps bacteria (細(xì)菌) away. However, teeth are vulnerable (易受傷害的) to problems and disease. September 20 is National Teeth-loving Day in China. Let’s pay attention to the health of our teeth.
Tooth     (1)   are    (1)   around the world. Most children and young adults have tooth decay (齲齒). A study published on China Health Monthly magazine this year showed that 40.74 percent of a sample (抽樣) of 1,306 Chinese students under age 15 had decayed teeth.
(2)Food that is rich in sugar increases the risk of tooth decay. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria turn sugar into acids (酸) that eat away at tooth enamel.This cause holes in your teeth.
Another common problem is crooked teeth (齙牙). When your new teeth begin to grow and the old teeth haven’t fallen out, there isn’t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth.
Don’t worry. Here are some ways to keep your teeth healthy.
Brush at least twice a day – in the morning and before bedtime.
Learn to use dental floss (牙線). The floss gets rid of food that’s hidden where your toothbrush can’t get it.
Visit a dentist. He or she can check if you have any dental problems and help you clean your teeth.
Pay attention to what you eat. It is better to eat lots of fruits and vegetables instead of fries and drink water instead of soda.
Wear braces (牙套) to make your teeth straight and beautiful.
