Many countries follow special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.

For example, Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.

Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.

In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.

A. throw it onto the roof of a house

B. feed it to a mouse

C. put it in a piece of meat and feed the meat to a dog

D. leave it to the Tooth Fairy

C. the Tooth Fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth away

1.A 2.D 3.B 【解析】试题分析:小孩子掉落的牙齿怎么处理?有些国家扔在屋顶上,有些国家放在枕头下。文章讲述了不同的国家有着不同的风俗,在许多国家的风俗中,牙齿要让不同的动物带走,才能长出新牙。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam比结合上文可知,越南人和韩国人一样把掉落的牙齿扔到屋顶上,让喜鹊叼走,小孩就能长出新牙了。故选A。 2.推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数两句What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money可推断,牙齿仙女会留下什么很难知道,据说在法国可能会留下糖果,而在美国可能会留下钱。故选D。 3.主旨大意题。纵观全文可知,第一段提出了本文的主题,不同的国家对于小孩掉落的牙齿有不同的处理风俗,下文分别举例讲述了各国不同的风俗。故选B。
