My daughter finally lost her first tooth. She waited for this moment for more than a year.

Most of the kids in the first grade lost not only one tooth, but several. But my daughter kept waiting impatiently. Then, she finally got a loose (松的) tooth. I never saw her so happy — except on Christmas, Children’s Day or her birthday. Last Friday night, she was eating an apple, and the tooth started to become loose. Minutes later, my daughter shouted happily. The tooth was out!

I cleaned it off and put it under her pillow (枕头). When she went to bed that night, my daughter wondered, “Will the tooth fairy (牙仙) let me keep the tooth?” I told her she might and she’d have to wait and see.

The tooth fairy comes from an old story. It’s believed that when a kid loses his first tooth and puts it under his pillow, the tooth fairy will come to visit him when he is sleeping. If the tooth fairy sees the kid and loves him, she will leave some money under his pillow without taking away the tooth. If she doesn’t think the kid lovely enough, she will still leave some money but take the tooth away.

And then I put a dollar in my bag so that I’d remember to put it under my daughter’s pillow. However, I forgot. Luckily, her dear dad remembered.

1.How many of the following things make the writer’s daughter happy?

a. Christmas　　 b. Children’s Day

c. her birthday　　 d. the missing tooth

A. One.　　　　　　　 B. Two.　　　　　　　　 C. Three.　　　　　 D. Four.

2.What do the two underlined words in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. my daughter; the tooth fairy

B. my daughter; my daughter

C. the tooth fairy; my daughter

D. the tooth fairy; the tooth fairy

3.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The daughter is a second-grader.

B. The writer is a mother.

C. The real tooth fairy in the story is the writer.

D. Several kids in the daughter’s class lost one tooth.

4.What may be the best ending of the story?

A. A new tooth grew during my daughter’s sleep that night.

B. My daughter woke up at midnight and saw the beautiful tooth fairy.

C. The next morning my daughter was glad to find the money and the tooth.

D. The other kids in the first grade laughed at my daughter because she lost a tooth.

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are also some problems. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of difficulties. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.　 Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high.

We know that there are many famous people who have had success through their hard work in China. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
