Chewing a sugar-free gum daily reduced premature births in a large study in Malawi, Africa. The news website new findings were inspired by relevant past research on oral ( 腔的) health. The gum contains xylitol (木糖醇)— a chemical that can boost oral health — in place of regular sugar.
Among women who chewed the xylitol gum, 549 out of 4,349 pregnancies, or 12.6 percent delivered babies early, researchers reported February 3 at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's Annual Pregnancy Meeting. That's a 24 percent reduction compared with the group who didn’t receive the gum. Among those women, 878 out of 5,321 pregnancies, or 16.5 percent, of the babies were born before 37 weeks. The oral health of gum users also improved. About 4,000 of the women had an initial tooth exam and a later checkup. The women who chewed the gum had less tooth disease, a condition in which the tissue surrounding the teeth becomes infected, compared with those who didn't get the chewing gum.
“The findings are very encouraging,” says Kim Boggess, a medicine specialist at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. “The researchers are approaching a very complex problem in a low-resource area by trying to use a low-tech, easily applied way. It would take more research to see if this could work in other settings," she says.
Babies born early can have complications (并发症) that damage their lungs, nerve development and more, with long-term health risks, and they are more likely to die in their first year of life than average babies.
The team also wants to track the nerve development of the children born early and those born on time. "No matter how simple the method may be, we are still glad to make a difference in somebody's life," says the team leader Kjersti Aagaard, a medicine specialist at Texas Children's Hospital, “and digging into the reason why chewing the xylitol gum has such benefits deserves our further commitment.”

A. To offer statistics. B. To give examples.
C. To refer to past research. D. To analyze the causes.
29. What is the benefit of chewing a sugar-free gum
A. It can stop teeth from bleeding.
B. It can help oral tissues against infection.
C. It can reduce women's long-term health risks.
D. It can prevent early-born babies from complications

B. They solve a complex problem in low-resource areas.
C. They employ modern technology to solve the problem.
D. They provide an easy-to-access way to tackle problems.

Whether you call them feral pigs, boar, swine, hogs, or even razorbacks, wild pigs are one of the most damaging invasive species on Earth, and they’re infamous for damaging agriculture and native wildlife.
A big reason they’re so harmful is that they uproot soil at vast scales, like tractors ploughing a field. Our new research, published today, is the first to calculate the global extent of this and its implications for carbon emissions.
Our findings were staggering. We discovered the cumulative area of soil uprooted by wild pigs is likely the same area as Taiwan. This releases 4.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year the same as one million cars. The majority of these emissions occur in Oceania. A huge portion of Earth's carbon is stored in the soil, so releasing even a small fraction of this into the atmosphere can have a huge impact on climate change.
It's estimated that wild pigs destroy more than 100 million Australian dollar (USD 74 million) worth of crops and pasture each year in Australia, and more than USD 270 million (366 million Australian dollar) in just 12 states in the USA. Wild pigs have also been found to directly threaten 672 vertebrates(脊椎动物) and plant species across 54 different countries. This includes Australian ground frogs, tree frogs and multiple orchid species which are imperilled，as pigs destroy their habitats and hunt them for food.
Their geographic range is expected to expand in the coming decades, suggesting their threats to food security and biodiversity will likely worsen. But here, let's focus on their contribution to global emissions.
One such study was conducted for three years in the hardwood forests of Switzerland. The researchers found wild pigs caused soil carbon emissions to increase by around 23 percent per year. Similarly, a study in the Jigong Mountains National Nature Reserve in China found soil emissions increased by more than 70 percent per year in places disturbed by wild pigs.
32. Why are wild pigs unpopular according to the text
A. For their threat to humans. B. For their damaging effects.
C. For their consuming too much food. D. For their bad effects on tractors.
33. What danger do wild pigs pose by uprooting soil
A. Leading to dry and acid soil. B. Damaging the source of drinking water.
C. Increasing too much soil carbon emissions. D. Reducing the area of agricultural land greatly.
34. Which can replace the underlined word “imperiled” in paragragh 4
A. In pain B. In alarm C. In chaos. D. In danger
35. What may be the best title for the text
A. The threat of wild pigs B. Wild pigs on a global scale
C. A new problem faced by famers D. The impact of emissions on climate change

After an accident in January, 8-year-old Thomas was badly injured. His dream of winning this year’s inter-school football championship was destroyed overnight.
“It would be at least a year and a half before your son walks again unless there is a miracle,” doctors told Thomas’ single mother, Beth. After knowing this fact one night, Thomas cried sadly on the hospital bed. Beth tried to encourage him. During it, she fished inside her pocket and pulled out the inhaler (吸入器) when suddenly feeling dizzy—Beth had asthma (哮喘), and the inhaler could help her breathe more easily.
In September, after staying in hospital for months, Thomas returned home and had to completely rely on a wheelchair to move around, feeling hopeless. Beth tried to cheer him up.
One afternoon, the mother was near the door reading for Thomas, while the boy was relaxing on the sofa in the living room, listening. Suddenly, Thomas heard a strange loud sound coming from the porch(走廊)。
“It's just… my book fell!” Beth said. But Thomas could tell she was struggling to breathe. It seemed that something was stuck in her throat.
Normally, Thomas' wheelchair would be right by the sofa, and he could easily roll towards his mother. But earlier that afternoon, while Thomas was asleep, Beth pushed the wheelchair into the yard to let it get some sunshine.
Beth tried to get up for her inhaler put on a shelf inside the room, but she lost her balance and fell onto the floor. When Beth wasn't able to respond to Thomas’ calling out her name, Thomas realized this was an emergency.
He hurried to take out the phone from his pocket and quickly informed the police of what was happening. Although help was on the way, Thomas knew he couldn't just sit and wait.
He looked at his mother's inhaler. It could help save her life, but it was on that shelf seven meters away from him, “I must go there to get it.” he said to himself. Despite knowing his legs probably wouldn't listen to him, he was determined.
