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 following questions.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that

you want to be friends with them or that you don’t trust them. But perhaps this kind of

intuition isn’t as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people give out body language

signals all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood.

If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will

generally feel that you are being defensive. Holding your head to one side shows interest in

the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident. All this affects the

way you feel about some someone.

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of

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

ĐĂNG KÝ HỌC LIVEVIP INBOX PAGE HỌC GIỎI TIẾNG ANH 4

 LIVEVIP – GIẢI PHÁP TOÀN DIỆN MÔN TIẾNG ANH

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!
