tooth can be fun for a kid. you can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning. and then you can watch your new permanent(永恒的) tooth grow in its place.but if a permanent tooth falls out, thats a problem. there isnt another one under the gum(齿龈) that can replace it. unfortunately, this happens to some older people. and if permanent teeth fall out or need to be pulled, an older person might need dentures(假牙).dentures, known as false teeth, are a set of replacement teeth for any teeth that are missing. there are partial dentures, which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position. if all the teeth are gone, the person would need complete dentures, which replace every tooth in the mouth.dentures can cause pains at first and take little time to get adjusted to. they also need special care. they should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked(浸泡) in denture solution when not in the mouth.dentures are important for the old because, without teeth, its hard to smile, talk, and eat properly. but it can be a little weird if you see someone take out his or her dentures. it can also be strange to see someone, like a grandparent, without dentures in because he or she wont have any teeth. try not to make fun of the person because this could cause hurt feelings.people usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease(牙周炎), or gum disease, which is caused by bacteria that attacks the gums. diseased gums arent strong and healthy, so teeth can get loose and fall out. older people often have many cavities(洞) that have been filled over the years, and these fillings can weaken over time, leading to more tooth problems.54. if one of your baby teeth falls out, you .ashould have a false tooth fixed in its place bhave to put it under your pillow at oncecwill gain a permanent tooth in future dcan exchange it for some money55a person wearing dentures .ashould brush them with a special denture brush every few daysbwill take a very long time to adjust himself or herself to themcwill experience unpleasant feelings at the beginning of fixing themdshould use denture solution to soak them in his or her mouth56what does the underlined word “weird” mean in the fifth paragraph?a. inconvenientb. excited cuncomfortable dimpolitecwhen i was a child, i was shocked at the idea that my sisters could be my best friends. now, i wouldnt have it any other way. at the time, the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. we fought all the time over toys, food, attention, what to watch on televisionyou name it, and we quarreled about it at some point. how could my sisters be my best friends? they werent the same age as i. we all had our own friends in school.my mother never let the three of us forget that sisters are lifelong friends. her wish like most parents was to give us something that she never had. growing up as an only child, she longed for (渴望) siblings. when she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillment (实现) of her dream had only just begun. she had given each of us a gift and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. she would frequently tell us how lucky we were. but there were other, more subtle (难以察觉的) ways that she encouraged us to grow closer. she never showed favoritism to one daughter over the other, as not to cause jealousy or bitterness between sisters. she constantly took us places togetherskating, shopping and swimming, so that we developed common interests. and when we were teenagers, mom always punished us equally, giving us yet another bonding (密切相连) experience. we didnt always get along beautifully and fought just like any other siblings. but somewhere in between moms lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories, we realized that our mother was right. today i share things with my sisters that i do with no one else. my sister cindy and i ran the new york city marathon together, side by side, even holding hands when we crossed the finish line. when my sister karen got married, i was her maid of honor(伴娘). cindy and i traveled through europe together and even shared an apartment for two years. the three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets. it was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. today
