Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilised pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past.
Now all our free time is regulated by the 'goggle box'. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do — anything providing it doesn't interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.
Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesn't matter that the children will watch rubbishy commercials or spectacles of sadism and violence — so long as they are quiet.
Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself.
Television may be a splendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilisation in quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly.
A. Oh! I'm so sorry about your exams. Please, don't wirry about it. I know that you are very smart girl and that you will do pass your exam the next week again. But for now. I really recommend you to calm down and to start work harder. You can do it!
B. Hey, Nick. I've told you that you will brake something. But you didn't mention my words. Do you know that it is really expensive to change the window glass? That is why your parents won't be happy to hear about what you've done. So, tell them that you love them before they will get angry.
C. Andrue, why are you always lying in the bed? Will you help me to tidy our flat? I can't do it alone! So, get up right now or I will call our parents.
The next time you get a cavity in a tooth, you can blame it on herself-maybe, too, the dentist who is not aware of. The so-called saries-rot teeth-this is, or should be, an old hat, are largely obsolete. What are the causes of the collapse? ever use acid for etching away at a piece of metal? This, in a nutshell, is what happens to you in the mouth and collapse. Always mouth bacteria-great variety. Bugs feed on food particles. As a result of their feeding acid production. Acid eats away at the tooth enamel. This is the toughest stuff in the body, but it's not acid proof. In the end, the acid penetrates. He could make tiny holes that you'd never suspect that it is. But it may be enough to allow the acid to begin work on a soft, bone, dentin, enamel and then under the pulp, live part of the tooth where nerves and blood vessels. As soon as the process of decay reaches the pulp, it goes without saying that you will have pain and have a good chance of losing a tooth. Contrary to what you may have heard, the aching tooth is not necessarily local. Dental diseases are directly responsible for the overall health of the poor, affecting patients of all ages. No one knows how many diseases are caused by, or contributed to, by dental diseases. Among those particularly suspect are rheumatic diseases, gastro-intestinal and renal diseases, skin diseases, and bacterial endocarditis (heart infection). The latest developments in dentistry are especially welcome, for American mouth a disaster zone. More than 20 million Americans have lost all their teeth; 90000000 have 18 or more missing, decayed. or sealed teeth. At age 35, one out of every five people needs dentures; at 55, every second. Two thirds of young people under the age of five have teeth, and the dolina suchej wody gasienicowej, five out of every six. Modern Dentistry, mechanical system and is able to perfectly Fix-It work, had to wait a long time key to any practical way to stop cavities before he can get to work. American physician, Dr. Edgar, served as examiner Italu of immigrants in this country, said that many came from the Naples area was stained Brown, but healthy teeth. It turned out that fluoride ingested regularly in childhood can do something remarkable. It can be installed, and their teeth were formed, so in conjunction with enamel and made it more acid-resistant materials, therefore more resistant to decay. In controlled amounts, it will not cause color change, and the emptiness will be reduced, at least for children-from 50 to 65 per cent. Next opening came about 20 years ago: fluoride can be applied directly to the enamel. If the dentist painted on four layers of sodium fluoride solution two percent every three years, caries will be reduced up to 40 per cent of 25-but only in children under 15. It didn't work for adults. The search was then on new compounds that may be better than sodium fluoride. This has led to a combination of Tin Tin, fluoride and fluoride. Tin fluoride is one of the applications was 38 percent a year as more effective than sodium fluoride out of four. It was also revealed that the Tin fluoride could work on adults as well as children. Meanwhile, Indiana University investigators are working on a project to develop a toothpaste that can help fight decay. Indiana investigators finally found a way to include the Tin fluoride in toothpaste so it wouldn't be lost. First, the teeth are polished with a new mix by contains17 per cent Tin fluoride pumice. Immediately after this, in 10% of Tin-painted on the teeth of fluoride solution-15-second procedure. The first two steps to start a person out and the third step is simply a daily use of fluoridated toothpaste.
