Singapore, July 12－many people enjoy chewing(...

Singapore, July 12－many people enjoy chewing(咀嚼) gum, but in 1992 Singapore decided to make it against the law. The government said that people were not careful about throwing away used gum. Instead, they dropped it on sidewalks and on the streets where it made a big mess. Chewing gum also got stuck in the doors of the underground trains so that the doors didn’t close properly. This meant the trains didn’t run on time. Singapore said that people had to give up chewing gum or pay a lot of money to the government. During the time without chewing gum, the streets and underground trains of Singapore were clean.

Now the government of Singapore is changing the rules a little. Some dentists say that chewing sugarless gum can help take care of people’s teeth. Now the government says that people will be able to buy special kinds of gum at drugstores for health reasons. Other kinds of gum are still not allowed.

根据短文内容, 判断正 (T)误(F)。

2.Chewing gun made Singapore dirty before 1992.

You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world. ① But it wasn’t always like that.[

The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848, a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew. ② Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft and sweet.

By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The most famous name in chewing gum, however, is probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays. ③ He also said that chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired.

Although today many millions of people chew gum, not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum, they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places.

It's dangerous to laugh when you are chewing gum (嚼口香糖) . You may choke (噎住) on the gum. This happened to Allyson Golden, a 12-year-old girl from the US. However, she was lucky because her friend Miriam Starobin saved her with something she learned from the cartoon Sponge Bob Squarepants (《海绵宝宝》).

The two girls were in music class. Their teacher said something funny and the students began to laugh hard. Suddenly, Golden choked as the gum got stuck in her throat.

Golden said it was the most terrible moment of her life. “Suddenly I couldn't laugh anymore. I couldn't breathe,” she said.

When Starobin saw Golden's face turn purple, she thought back to Sponge Bob. In one episode (集) of the show, Sponge Bob uses the Heimlich maneuver (海姆利克氏操作法) . In this maneuver, you push on the area below a person's chest (胸腔) to force air up his or her throat and stop them from choking. Starobin pulled Golden off the ground and did the Heimlich three or four times until the gum flew out from her mouth.

When she realized what her friend had done, Golden gave Starobin a big hug and said, “You just saved my life. I owe you big time.”

Their head teacher, Audrey Goropeuschek, is proud of her student. She said Starobin is a hero.

However, Starobin didn't think that she was a hero. “Heroes are people who even give their lives to save others,”she said. “I just did something that anyone could if they tried. ”
