Questions 16 -25Reod the following information and answer the questions that follow.

WHICH TOOTHPASTE ACTUALLY WORKS?

7tt9/2

Whitening

Most whiteners are not- powerful enough. For real

results, choose toothpastewith hydrogen peroxide. Italso helps put off bacterialinfection and gum related

problems.

AII-Round

This toothpaste reduces

sensitivity and helps

prevent cavities, gingivitis,plaque, and bad breath.

However, the active

ingredient, stannous

fluoride can cause toothstaining. If you noticebrown spots, alert yourdentist, who can easily

remove them.

Natural

Go natural to avoid

artificial flavours and

colours, but make sure the

brand you choose has

cavity-fighting fluoride as

well as xylitol whichmakes plaque less sticky

and aloe vera to fightinflammation. Make sure

the one you choose is free

of sodium lauryl sulfate, a

foaming agent that maycause canker sores.

l=

IEl3klaIC,l:tlotolc)l=lo-l(Dlpl()lol3

Sensitive-Teeth

Most sensitive-teeth

formulae contain 5o/o

potassium nitrate, whichblocks receptors that

translate hot and cold signals

into pain. To maximise the

effectiveness, spit afterbrushing, and wait for 20

minutes before rinsing.

Gum Health

The best way to kill thegenns that cause gum diseaseis to use toothpaste with theantimicrobial triclosan. Justbrush at a 45-degree angle.This allows the bristles toreach up under your gumline, where bacteria dwell.

Questions 26 - 31 are based on the following passoge.

1 One day a couple of years ago my father sheepishly told me that he wantedto learn how to use the family computer. I had just graduated from High Schoolin Dhaka, Bangladesh and was soon to leave for Claremont McKenna Collegein California, USA. Dad knew that regular telephone calls would be tooexpensive so he had researched alternatives, including Skype and YahooMessenger.

2 I was stunned. My parents had always treated the world of informationtechnology as though it were full of magic and witches. To be fair, things didseem to go wrong when they tried: the one time I convinced Dad to use hisdebit card, the machine ate it up. For ages he stayed close to me at ATMmachines as I withdrew cash for him. The computer was no different. While hedictated, I typed business emails and printed documents for work. Now Dadwanted to master the computer himself. And he wanted me to help him and mymother do it.

3 On his first day at our makeshift "computer school" Dad asked a simplequestion that should have been an indication of days to come. He wanted toknow why the keys were not in order. I had no idea. As I tried to come up withan intelligent answer, he began typing at the keyboard using one finger, one keyat a time. I told him the correct way was to use both hands. He responded byusing his one finger faster. It was obvious that Dad's idea of high-speed typingwas pecking rapidly with a single finger. As for Mum, she was eager to learnwhat to press in order to send email to her friends.

4 Training my parents, however, made me realise how complicated the simplefunctions can be to a beginner. I tried several inventive ways of explaining thebasic functions of a computer. I drew diagrams and wrote instruction manuals.Once in a while, I lost my patience but eventually I taught my parents how todownload pictures, open files and save a document.

5 Still, my parents were anxious about the simple things. With me lookingover their shoulders, they were less willing to make up their own minds aboutwhat to do with new requests and options that programmes threw at them. Dadwould quickly ask me for the answer and as for Mum, I could see her measuringthe "yes" and "no" options on the monitor.

6 Suddenly, I had an idea on how to boost their confidence. I remembered howDad let go of my bike and allow me to ride free. I crashed into a bush in thegarden and experienced great pain for a few days. It was pure independence toride on my own. Hence, I tried a liule bit of my father's advice. I began toslowly inch away from the computer as he fiddled with the keyboard and mouse.

Before I could get far, Dad would yell for me to fix the problem. Some days Iescaped from the room without him noticing.

7 The real star student was Mum. She worked diligently, enjoying the 40possibilities of Google search and making friends all over the globe. Soon, shewas emailing with ease and exploring other ways to connect with people. By thetime I left for the USA, Mum and Dad were pedalling on their own.

8 During my first year of college, ffiy parents and I skyped almost every night.I showed them my dorm roorn and introduced them to my friends. Seeing my 45parents' smiling faces on video chat, still embarrassed and awkward, got methrough many stressful days. And for that, I am grateful to them. These days,Mum uses the computer regularly and Dad uses the internet to read the latestnews and has mastered the search engine. I would like to think that we havebridged the digital divide in my family. My parents have themselves to credit 50for this achievement and their motivation is none other than love.
