My friend and I entered a little coffee house and ordered two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, " 1 cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three there on the wall." The waiter served them with respect (尊敬). They paid for their order, took the two and left. As soon as they left, the waiter 2 put three pieces of paper on the wall. We saw this with great 3.
Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Then came three lawyers who paid for seven coffees —three for 4 and four suspended(待用). I really 5 what the suspended coffees were. Suddenly a man came into the coffee house. The way this man was dressed didn't 6 the style(风格）of this coffee shop. He kindly ordered a coffee on the wall. The waiter served coffee to this man, showing him the same 7 as the other customers. The man had his coffee and left 8 paying. The waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.
At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple—people pay the coffee in advance(预先) for someone who can't 9 it. The tradition with the suspended coffees 10 in Italy, but it has spread all over the world. A suspended coffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the warmth and love to someone in need.

Teeth are a key part of your body. Strong, healthy teeth help you chew all kinds of foods that help you grow. They help you speak clearly. That's why it's necessary to take great care of your teeth. The following suggestions help you have healthy teeth for life.
One is to brush your teeth at least twice a day, more often if possible. You'd better brush your teeth after every meal, especially a sweet snack, which is the best way to protect against tooth disease(疾病). It's necessary to clean the front, back and top surfaces of all your teeth.
Another step you can take to protect your teeth is flossing. Floss is a thin thread(丝线)that moves between teeth to remove food that your toothbrush can't reach.
You should pay attention to what you eat. Eating foods that are high in sugar can lead to tooth disease. That's because bacteria that causes tooth disease loves sugar. You can eat fruits and vegetables instead which are good for your body as well as your teeth.
