 A.Chewing gum is often found under seats and desks in a classroom. It can give teachers a headache and get students in trouble. But studies suggest that chewing gum has a positive side. Almost everyone knows that gum cleans teeth and makes your breath smell fresh. What most people don’t know is that it can help with your school work: gum improves concentration and memory. After looking at a list of fifteen words, students could remember only six or seven of them. When chewing gum, however, they remembered eight or nine. As a result, some teachers now allow gum during tests… but only if students follow rules.
