Some of those myths relate to theindividuals’ physical appearance.For example, the first president of the United States, George Washington, “issaid to” (people say that something is true) have used wooden “dentures”(artificial teeth, used to chew food and improve one’s appearance when one’sown teeth are not present). In fact, “historians” (people who study the past)believe that George Washington “indeed” (in truth; in reality) wore dentures, butthey were not wooden. They believe he had many “dental” (related to teeth)problems and had several sets of dentures made from “ivory” (a white, rock-likesubstance found in elephants’ “tusks” (body parts like horns)), gold, and lead.Apparently George Washington’s teeth became “stained” (with marks that cannotbe removed) and “discolored” (with a changed, dirty color) over time due to thewine he drank and a lack of cleaning, and they may have seemed to be wooden.But why does the myth of the wooden dentures “persist” (continue to exist)?Some people believe it is because they “point to” (emphasize) the firstpresident’s “frailty” (ability to be hurt or injured) and human nature. And othersbelieve that the myth persists because it reminds people that GeorgeWashington “sacrificed” (gave up) his health in some ways in order to serve thenew country.______________Comprehension Questions Correct Answers: 1 – b; 2 – c4These materials are copyrighted by the Center for Educational Development (2014).
