• 1．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 （喜鵲） 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.

• 2．It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation，it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly，my mother will push the conversation into World War 3.She'll talk about my lack of bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment，I don't want to do any job related to science，either.In fact，when I was pushed to say that I planned to major（主修）in English and communications，she nearly had a heart attack.
     "Why can't you be like my co-worker's son？" she bemoans all the time.Her coworker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70，000 dollars a year as an engineer.I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr.Perfect as I've called the unnamed coworker's son.I can't be like him.I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community，write until the sun goes down，and most of all，wants to achieve a career because I love it，not because of a fame or salary.
     I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6：30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6pm.However，I want her to know that by becoming a doctor，it doesn't mean I'll be successful.I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

• 3．An English saying goes："All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy．"That means we should relax after a day's hard work or we'll be unhealthy．
  Many students know that if they want to get ideal jobs with good salaries，they must do well in high school so they can enter good universities．Therefore，they spend all day studying without time to relax．
  However，not all students can go to top universities even if they work very hard．Students are pressurized by parents and teachers who are just concerned about their studies and exam scores while ignoring their hobbies and individual differences．As a result，students are forces to work harder and harder．Furthermore，there is pressure coming from students themselves．They realize they have a slim chance of getting into a top university as competition is fierce．So，they put a lot of stress on themselves and stay in a nervous state day after day．If they keep it up，they'll suffer illnesses；both psychological and physical．
  What students need is relaxation．This doesn't mean that they should give up their ambitions and stop studying hard．It means"work while you work，play while you play"．If you can do this，you will improve your health greatly．You'll feel yourself suddenly fresh，just like recovering from a terrible illness．You'll find that your studies are not a burden（負(fù)擔(dān)） anymore．
  
  （1）The underlined part in the first paragraph might mean all the following EXCEPT

  ．
  A．too much work may bring trouble to anyone
  B．overwork without rest is sure to make one foolish
  C．Jack becomes dull because he works too much
  D．Anyone who doesn't work will break down
  （2）What trouble have both the parents and teachers brought to the students？

  
  A．They don't know how to let the students relax．
  B．They give too much burden for them to bear．
  C．They don't love those who work the hardest．
  D．They fail to understand what the students need most．
  （3）What causes the student's pressure from themselves？

  
  A．That they don't know how to get top universities．
  B．That they want to relax but have no chance．
  C．That they fail to relax themselves during their work．
  D．That they think too much about the result of their work．
