Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34. 
 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 under 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!
