A

In class，Peter put up his hand and said to his teacher，\"I lost my baby tooth．\" \"Congratulations，\"Mrs．Gilbert said．Then she asked the class if anyone had any advice for Peter．

Keiko，a Japanese girl，put up her hand first．\"If it is a lower tooth，you should throw it over the roof of your house； if it is an upper tooth，you should put it under the floor．Then your new adult tooth will grow properly．\"

\"You shouldn't throw your baby tooth away，Peter．You should keep it and give it to your mother，\"said Jack，a French boy． \"Why should I do that？\"asked Peter．

\"She will make it into a necklace（项链） for you to wear，\"said Jack．

Jorge，who was from Mexico，had some different advice．\"You should take your tooth home and put it under your pillow（枕头） when you go to sleep，\"Jorge said． \"Why should I do that？\"asked Peter．

\"Because the tooth fairy（牙仙） will come to keep your tooth and give you good luck．Sometimes she even brings a small toy．\"

Peter liked Jorge's advice the best．Mrs．Gilbert said to him，\"Whatever you decide，you should show your mother your tooth when you et home．\"

When Peter got home，he showed his mother his tooth and told her his plan．The next morning，Peter woke up and looked under his pillow．The tooth was gone．In its place，he found a dollar and a letter．This is what the letter said： Dear Peter，

Congratulations!You lost your first tooth．I will keep it forever．You should buy something nice for yourself with this money．

Love， The Tooth Fairy

An eighty-year-old couple were having trouble with their memories. One day, they decided to see a doctor. The doctor told him that there was nothing serious, but he

Later that night while watching TV, the old man got up from his chair and his wife asked, “Where are you going?” “To the kitchen.”

We have heard about people who have special memories．Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail （细节） of all the events in her daily life．

Rebecca Sharrock，25，is one of just 80people worldwide who have been identified（确定） as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory （HSAM，超级自传体记忆症）．It means she can remember every small event-which most people would forget with in （在…以内） days-as if it had happened just minutes ago．

\"I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12days old，\"she said．\"That's my earliest memory．I remember every day since then．I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars，but I remember what I did that very day，what the weather was like and so on．\"

Rebecca can also re-experience taste．If she's eating something that she doesn't like，she thinks about Black Forest cake，her favorite food，and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly\"taste\"it．

However，sometimes her memories prove （证明） to be painful．Because they're not just events that she remembers．\"When I relive （再体验） memories，the feelings return，too，\"Rebecca said．\"For example，I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents'house and hurting my left knee．Talking about it now，I feel painful in my left knee．\"

\"At night，I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，n she added．\"1f it's too dark or quiet，my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep．\"

Donna Ashlock, a 14-year-old girl from California, was very sick. She had a bad heart. “Donna needs a new heart,” her doctor said, “she must have a new heart, or she will die soon.”

Felipe Carza, 15, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna’s friend. He liked Donna very much. He liked her freckles, and he liked her smile. Felipe didn’t want Donna to die. Felipe talked to his mother about Donna. “I am going to die,” Felipe told his mother, “and I am going to give my heat to Donna.”

Felipe’s mother didn’t pay much attention to Felipe. “Felipe is just kidding,” she thought, “Felipe is not going to die. He’s strong and healthy.”

But Felipe was not healthy. He had terrible headaches sometimes. “my head hurts,” he often told his friends. Felipe never told his parents about his headaches.

One morning Felipe woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He was dizzy (眩晕的), and he couldn’t breathe. His parents rushed Felipe to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital had terrible news for them. “Felipe’ s brain is dead,” the doctors said, “we can’t save him.” The parents were very sad. But they remembered Felipe’s words. “Felipe wanted to give his heart to Donna,” they told the doctors.

The doctors did several tests. Then they told the parents, “we can give Felipe’s heart to Donna.”

The doctors took out Felipe’s heart and rushed the heart to Donna. Other doctors took out Donna’s heart and put Felipe’s heart in her chest. In a short time the heart began to beat.

The operation was a success. Felipe’s heart was beating in Donna’s chest, but Donna didn’t know it. Her parents and doctors didn’t tell her. They waited until she was stronger; then they told her about Felipe. “I feel very sad,” Donna said, “but I am thankful to Felipe.” Three months later the operation Donna went back to school. She has to have regular checkups, and she has to take medicine every day. But she is living a normal life. Felipe’s brother John says, “Every time we see Donna, we think of Felipe. She has Felipe‘s heart in her. That gives us great peace.” 1.Felipe was worried about Donna because ________ . A. she had freckles B. she was very sick
