If you have no special plans for your holidays， why not spend your time helping others?

Don’t listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It’s not true at all. More and more people in the USA volunteer(志愿) to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don’t do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

Alice Hamilton， 17

I’m going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It’s going to be terrific—I’ll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars. It’ll be a nice sport， and I’ll be able to do something good at the same time.

Jason Moore，18

This summer， I’m going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good， low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They’ll teach me what to do， so I’ll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

Trish Anderson， 16

I’m going to teach kids who have trouble reading. I’ll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day， I’m going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher and I love children and reading， so this is going to be a great experience for me.

My daughter finally lost her first tooth. She waited for this moment for more than a year.

Most of the kids in the first grade lost not only one tooth, but several. But my daughter kept waiting impatiently. Then, she finally got a loose (松的) tooth. I never saw her so happy — except on Christmas, Children’s Day or her birthday. Last Friday night, she was eating an apple, and the tooth started to become loose. Minutes later, my daughter shouted happily. The tooth was out!

I cleaned it off and put it under her pillow (枕頭). When she went to bed that night, my daughter wondered, “Will the tooth fairy (牙仙) let me keep the tooth?” I told her she might and she’d have to wait and see.

The tooth fairy comes from an old story. It’s believed that when a kid loses his first tooth and puts it under his pillow, the tooth fairy will come to visit him when he is sleeping. If the tooth fairy sees the kid and loves him, she will leave some money under his pillow without taking away the tooth. If she doesn’t think the kid lovely enough, she will still leave some money but take the tooth away.

And then I put a dollar in my bag so that I’d remember to put it under my daughter’s pillow. However, I forgot. Luckily, her dear dad remembered.

1.How many of the following things make the writer’s daughter happy?

a. Christmas b. Children’s Day

c. her birthday d. the missing tooth

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

2.What do the two underlined words in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. my daughter; the tooth fairy

B. my daughter; my daughter

C. the tooth fairy; my daughter

D. the tooth fairy; the tooth fairy

3.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The daughter is a second-grader.

B. The writer is a mother.

C. The real tooth fairy in the story is the writer.

D. Several kids in the daughter’s class lost one tooth.

4.What may be the best ending of the story?

A. A new tooth grew during my daughter’s sleep that night.

B. My daughter woke up at midnight and saw the beautiful tooth fairy.

C. The next morning my daughter was glad to find the money and the tooth.

D. The other kids in the first grade laughed at my daughter because she lost a tooth.
