tooth infection that spread to his brain.They say it might have been prevented if the boy had received the dental care he needed.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care should start at birth.They say breast milk is the best food for the healthy development of teeth.Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth.When babys teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush.Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies，and use them very gently.The use of fluoride(氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world.This natural element is often added to drinking water supplies.The fluoride mixes with enamel(釉质)，the hard surface on teeth，to help prevent holes，or cavities from forming.But the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry points out that young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth.The group notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems.So young children should be carefully supervised when they brush their teeth.And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste，the size of a green pea，should be used.Parents often wonder what effects sucking a thumb or sucking on a pacifier might have on their babys teeth.Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life.The American Academy of Family Physicians says most kids stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four.If it continues，the group advises parents to talk to their childs dentist or doctor.It could influence the correct development of permanent teeth.1The boy with a bad tooth died because _.Ahis tooth disease was very deadlyBthe doctor refused to treat him properlyChe didnt receive timely treatmentDsomething was wrong with his brain2All the

teeth should be cared for from birthCBreast milk and fluoride are importantDHow to help young children form good habitsBRoberto Clemente was one of the most honored baseball players in history.Many players are known for their skills or the records they broke.But Roberto was loved not only for his ability in sports，but also for the kind of person that he was.Roberto was born in 1934 in Carolina，Puerto Rico，whose family struggled financially.As a young boy，he helped his father，who worked on a sugar farm and also managed a store that sold food.In school，Roberto was an excellent runner.But more than anything，he loved playing baseball.Puerto Ricos warm island climate made it easy for the young boy to play baseball all year.But he was good at throwing balls to a great distance.While in high school，Roberto played baseball for the Santurce Crabbers in the Puerto Ricos Winter League.At 18，Roberto was already hitting a baseball better than many professional players in the U
