We all have offensive breath at one time or another. In most cases, offensive breath emanates from bacteria in the mouth, although there are other, more surprising causes.
Until a few years ago, the most doctors could do was to counsel patients with bad breath about oral cleanliness. Now they are finding new ways to treat the usually curable condition.
Bad breath can happen whenever the normal flow of saliva slows. Our mouths are full of bacteria feeding on protein in bits of food and shed tissue. The bacteria emit evil-smelling gases, the worst of which is hydrogen sulfide.
Mouth bacteria thrive in airless conditions. Oxygen-rich saliva keeps their numbers down. When we sleep, for example, the saliva stream slows, and sulrue-producing bacteria gain the upper hand, producing classic" morning breath".
Alcohol, hunger, too much talking, breathing through the mouth during exercise anything that dries the mouth produces bad breath. So can stress, though it’s not understood why. Some people’s breath tums sour every time they go no a job interview.
Saliva flow gradually shows with age, which explains why the elderly have more bad-breath trouble than younger people do. Babies, however, who make plenty of saliva and whose mouths contain relatively few bacteria have characteristically sweet breath.
For most of us, the simple, dry-mouth variety of bad breath is easily cured. Eating or drinking starts saliva and sweeps away many of the bacteria. Breakfast often stops morning breath.
Those with chronic dry mouth find that it helps to keep gum, hard candy, or a bottle of water or juice around. Brushing the teeth wipes out dry mouth bad breath because it clears away many of the offending bacteria.
Surprisingly, one thing that rarely works is mouthwash. The liquid can mask bad-breath odor with its own smell, but the effect lasts no more than an hour. Some mouthwashes claim to kill the bacteria responsible for bad breath. The trouble is, they don’t necessarily reach all offending germs. Most bacteria are well protected from mouthwash under thick layers of mucus, If the mouthwash contains alcohol—as most do—it can intensify the problem by drying out the mouth. [br] We can infer from this passage that ______.
选项
A、offensive breath can’t easily be cured
B、elderly people are less offended by bad breath
C、heavy drinkers are less affected by bad breath
D、offensive breath is less affected by alcohol
答案
A
解析
本题是推理题。选择项B与原文第六段第一和第二句相矛盾。C与第一段第一句相矛盾,D与C一样也与原文相矛盾。A与原文相符的。文章开头第一段首先就指出导致口腔异味的原因是多种多样的。第二段至第五段就分别例举了其中的各项原因,第六段至第八段文章讨论了口腔异味的治疗,概括全文内容我们得知导致口腔异味的原因是多样的,要彻底根除异味也是很困难的。正确是A。
