What do children do when they lose baby teeth? People around the world do it differently.‎ A custom in the US, England, Canada, Australia and some other English-speaking countries is that children put their baby tooth under their pillow(枕头) before going to bed. They believe the tooth fairy(牙仙子) comes during the night and leaves a coin in exchange for their tooth. Of course, we know that the money is not from the tooth fairy. Their parents do it instead.‎ In some European countries it is a common practice to bury the baby tooth in the earth. The tooth might be buried in the garden or in the surrounding field. However, since most of the people now find themselves living in towns or cities, they begin placing the teeth in small flowerpots. It's done so that the permanent(永久的) tooth will grow in its place.‎ Putting a tooth under a pillow sounds sweet, and putting a tooth under the ground or in a flowerpot sounds safe, but what about throwing those teeth around? In some Asian countries, that's just what people do. Children throw a lower tooth up onto the roof and an upper one is thrown down on the ground, or hidden under the bed. It is done so that the new upper tooth grows downwards, while the new lower tooth upwards.‎ Some countries even have more interesting traditions. In Nigeria, if you're a boy, you hold your tooth and eight stones in your fist(拳头). Girls hold six stones and their tooth in their fist. The children then close their eyes and state their names. They then say, “Oh, I want my tooth back!” Next, they throw everything in their fist up in the air and run away as fast as they can. In Mongolia, the baby tooth is given to a young dog. There, the dog is respected and considered to be able to protect people. If the dog likes the baby tooth and eats it, it's said that a strong tooth will grow again.‎ ‎1.How many different traditions about the baby tooth are mentioned in the passage? (　　)‎ A. Four. B.Five. C.Six. D.Seven.‎ ‎2.Why do people in Asia throw their baby teeth around in different ways? (　　)‎ A. Because it means nothing but it is only a tradition. ‎ B.Because they think that the teeth are useless to them.‎ C.Because they have no other places to store these teeth. ‎ 5‎ D.Because they expect their new teeth to grow in a correct way.‎ ‎3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? (　　)‎ A. A kid in the UK hides his baby tooth under a pillow to get some money. ‎ B.People in Europe usually bury their baby teeth in different places.‎ C.In Nigeria, boys and girls like games with their baby teeth.‎ D.In Mongolia, people think dogs can help them to have strong teeth to grow.‎ ‎4.What does the passage mainly want to tell us? (　　)‎ A. There are different traditions to deal with the baby tooth in the world.‎ B.The baby tooth means something different to people in different countries.‎ C.When children lose baby teeth, they like to do some different things with them. ‎ D.Most children in the world hope to have stronger teeth when they lose baby teeth.‎ Passage 2‎ There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person. ‎ I remember when I was traveling, I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it will not be strange or scary. Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas, do we find that those stories are something wrong.‎ One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We can't just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved(干预) and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore (忽视) this if one does not travel or explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.‎ On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to cope with problems and make many decisions along the way.‎ When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories.‎ Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people ‎ 5‎ and the world would be a better place.‎ ‎1.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that 　　　　. (　　) ‎ A. people around the world are the same in their hopes B.books always tell us wrong stories about cultures C.traveling can help us better understand the world D.people in different places have strange living habits ‎2.According to Paragraph 3, we can help the areas in need by 　　　　.

People in the World Are Family B.Traveling Helps One Make More Friends C.People in the World Share One Dream D.Traveling Makes One a Better Person ‎4.What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage?(　　)‎ A. To share his travel experiences with other people.‎ B.To encourage more people to travel around.‎ C.To show how traveling can change the world.‎ D.To tell people how to travel around the world. ‎ 5‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ Ⅰ.1—5　CACAB　6—10　CDABB　‎ ‎11—15　CDABA Ⅱ.Passage 1　[主旨大意]本文介绍了世界各地对待乳牙的不同传统。‎ ‎1.B ‎2.D　根据第四段中的“It is done so that the new upper tooth grows downwards, while the new lower tooth upwards.
