Read the poem given below :
One day a young chicken that lived there about,
Stood watching to see the ducks pass in and out
Now standing tail upwards, now diving below;
She thought, of all things, she should like to do so.
So that poor silly chick was determined to try;
She thought `twas as easy to swim as to fly;
Though her mother had told her she must not go near,
She foolishly thought there was nothing to fear.
So in this poor ignorant animal flew,
(5)
But soon found her dear mother‟s cautions were true;
She splashed, and she dashed, and she turned herself round,
And heartily wished herself safe on the ground.

Read the passage given below and complete the sentences that follow :
(5)
Nobody visits the dentist of his own accord unless necessary. For the good of our dental
health, we should visit the dentist at least twice a year for regular checks and
polishing. We should never visit a dentist only when pain occurs.
It is important to take care of our teeth and gums from a young age. Mothers should
start cleaning their babies‟ gums with a soft and clean cloth even before the
appearance of the first milk tooth.
It is recommended that brushing of teeth should be done at least twice a day. To
prevent tooth decay and gum disease, flossing our teeth on a daily basis should be
done. Brushing helps to stimulate gums while flossing aids in the removal of food left in
between teeth that could not be removed by brushing. Using the right kind of
toothbrush and toothpaste is also very important. A toothbrush with hard bristles
should never be used. It causes injury to our gums and teeth. Most toothpastes contain
abrasives, detergents and foaming agents. The most important ingredient in toothpaste
that prevents cavities is fluoride. People with sensitive teeth may experience a sharp
pain or discomfort if pressure is put on the teeth or if they consume hot or cold food. A
special kind of toothpaste may have to be used in this case. However, a visit to the
dentist is a must if the problem persists. To avoid tooth decay, we should cut down on
sugary foods and drinks, and brush our teeth before we sleep. Extra visits to the
dentist will definitely lessen if we adopt good dental care habits.
(1) We are advised to pay a visit to the dentist __________.
(2) The best time to start caring for our teeth is __________.
(3) To prevent tooth decay and gum disease, one must __________.
(4) __________ should be used when it comes to taking good care of our teeth.
(5) To lessen extra visits to the dentist, one must __________.
