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 (枕头). 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.

Everyone has worries. How do you deal with your worries? Thereis always something you can do to help yourself feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problems.

● How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?

● Do I have a good place to do my homework?

● Have I tried different ways of studying?

If your worry is about a fight you had with your friend, you might write down all the things you could do ---- write a note to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, say sorry to him or her and so on. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose one thing that could get your friend back.

Once upon a time， there was an old woman who lived in a small house. She planted a lot of beautiful tulips (郁金香) in her garden.

One night， the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing woke her up. She looked out of the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulips， but she could see nothing.

The next morning she walked among her flowers， but there were no signs of anyone having been there the night before.

On the following night she was again wakened (弄醒) by the sounds of sweet singing and babies laughing. She got out of bed and walked softly into her garden. The old woman looked closely and she noticed that a fairy (精灵) mother was singing softly， and that in each tulip-cup was a little fairy baby， laughing and playing.

The old woman went back to her house quietly. From then on， she never picked a tulip. She didn’t allow her neighbours to pick the flowers， either. When the old woman died， all the tulips disappeared overnight. But her grave (坟墓) looked beautiful， because the fairies sang above it and kept it green.

When the weather is hot， you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean， you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot， but it can not make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot， the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up， then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean， you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.

Of course， scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask “Why is the ocean full of salt？” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool， it cracks (崩裂) ， and rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask “What happens to the salt in the ocean？ The ocean does not get saltier every year. “ scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.
