correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
After twenty years of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in
the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial
increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their
enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA)
degrees has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to
continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is
that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job
on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level
management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the
humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, <Is an MBA degree
really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?= The second major factor has been the

The main cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth. The acid
removes minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages
remineralization and neutralizes the acid. The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid depends
on the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether the bacteria of
the plaque have been <primed= by frequent exposure to sugar. To keep your teeth healthy, a regular
dental hygiene program should be followed.
Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria in
the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay. It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible, enabling
saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions. If fluoride is present in drinking water when teeth are
forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant to attack
by acid. Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the remineralization of early
carious lesions.
In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to reduce
your intake of sweet food. The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not
between. The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determines how much harmful
acid the bacteria in your saliva produce. But the amount of sweets influences the quality of your saliva.
Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a long time. Also try to brush and floss your
teeth after eating sugary foods. Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective. Whenever possible, eat
foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, celery sticks, etc., that scrape off plaque, acting as a
toothbrush. Cavities can be greatly reduced if these rules are followed when eating sweets.

A. Good nutrition B. Food with fiber
C. Ways to keep your teeth healthy D. Fluoridization and cavities

Question 37. We can infer from the passage that one benefit of fluoride to healthy teeth is .
