MÃ ĐỀ 143
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child's baby teeth fall out. In Korea, for example, they
have the custom of throwing lost teeth up on the roof of a house. According to tradition, a magpie will come and take
the tooth. Later, the magpie will return with a new tooth for the child. In other Asian countries, such as Japan and
Vietnam, children follow a similar tradition of throwing their lost teeth onto the roofs of houses.
Birds aren't the only animals thought to take lost teeth. In Mexico and Spain, tradition says a mouse takes a lost
tooth and leaves some money. However, in Mongolia, dogs are responsible for taking teeth away. Dogs are highly
respected in Mongolian culture and are considered guardian angels of the people. Tradition says that the new tooth
will grow good and strong if the baby tooth is fed to a guardian angel. Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their
child's lost tooth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.
The idea of giving lost teeth to an angel or fairy is also a tradition in the West. Many children in Western
countries count on the Tooth Fairy to leave money or presents in exchange for a tooth. The exact origins of the Tooth
Fairy are a mystery, although the story probably began in England or Ireland centuries ago. According to tradition, a
child puts a lost tooth umder his or her pillow before going to bed. In the wee hours, while the child is sleeping, the
Tooth Fairy takes the tooth and leaves something else under the pillow. In France, the Tooth Fairy leaves a small gift.
In the United States, however, the Tooth Fairy usually leaves money. These days, the rate is $1 to $5 per tooth, adding
up to a lot of money from the Tooth Fairy!
