　　There was a time in early history of man when the days had no names! The reason was quite simple: Men had not invented the week.

　　In those days, the only division of times was the month, and there were too many days in the month for each of them to have a separate name. But when men began to build cities, they wanted to have a special day. Sometimes these market days were fixed at every tenth day, sometimes every seventh day. On this day they didn't work, but kept every seventh day for religious purposes. In this way the week came into being. The Jews gave each of the seven days a name, but it was really a number after the Sabbath day(which was Saturday).

　　When the Egyptians adopted the seven-day week, they named the days after five planets, the sun and the moon. The Romans used the Egyptian names for their days of the week: the day of the sun, of the moon, of the planet Mars, of Mercury(水星), of Venus(木星), and of Saturn(土星).

　　We get our names for the days not from the Romans but from the Anglo-Saxons, who called most of the days after their own gods.

(1)In the early days there were no names for the days, because men ________.

[　　]

A．had not yet created the idea of grouping seven days in a week

B．did not know what the word“week”meant

C．considered it unnecessary to have the names

D．did not believe it was the time to invent the week

(2)In those days ________.

[　　]

A．the smallest unit of time was the month

B．the smallest unit of time was the week

C．the year had been believed to be the only division of times

D．the months had no names either

(3)Who began to call the days in a week after five planets, the sun and the moon?

[　　]

A．The Egyptians.

B．The Romans.

C．The Babylonians.

D．The Anglo-Saxons.

(4)Our present names for the days of the week are ________.

[　　]

A．quite similar to the Romans'

B．mostly named after the gods of the Anglo-Saxons

C．more or less the same as those the Egyptians are using

D．but numbers

　　The more I learn about how your oral health can affect your overall health, the more of a brushing fanatic(狂熱者)I am．But it wasn’t always that way．As a kid, I resisted tooth-brushing at bedtime－what a bore!I remember my mom asking if I’d brushed my teeth．I’d say yes and she’d say “Let me smell your breath,” so she could confirm it with a smell of Crest．But I’d learned just to take a bite of toothpaste right from the tube, without even making contact with a brush．What a stupid mistake!Soon my teeth were full of holes－something I’ve regretted ever since．

　　In those days we weren’t much into preventive care at either the dentist or doctor．That wasn’t part of the way of thinking of my parents’ generation, who grew up during the Great Depression．We didn’t know how important it could be, either．"So much of dental care is reactionary．”says Mark Helpin, head of dentistry at Temple University．“Parents will bring their children in only if there’s a problem．”

　　Medical research has shown the dangers of tooth decay(蛀牙)and gum disease, including heart disease, low birth weight in babies, dangerous and even deadly infections and now maybe Alzheimer’s disease(老年癡呆)．There’s no longer any excuse to avoid regular dental checkups and careful oral maintenance－especially with young kids to get them started on the right path．It’s important to establish a relationship with a dentist the same way you would with a pediatrician．

　　The Alzheimer’s news is especially alarming．We reported back in January on a study at the University of Kentucky that found a preliminary link between tooth loss and dementia．Now there’s further evidence, thanks to a study presented last week at the Alzheimer's Association 2008 International Conference in Chicago．While this study in no way proves that gum disease causes Alzheimer’s, it’s pretty clear that the inflammation and immune response to these harmful bacteria aren’t good!

　　It takes less than a minute to brush your teeth．It takes two minutes to do a thorough job of brushing your teeth．If doing those two things twice a day may save me from mental disease later, I’m never going to miss these small tasks again－and neither should you．
