Keiko, A Chinese girl, put up her hand and said, “If you lose a lower（下面的）tooth, you should throw it over your house. And if you lose an upper one, you should put it under your bed. Then your new tooth will grow.”
Mrs. Gilbert thought this was a good idea, but Andy, who was from Australia, disagreed. “You shouldn’t throw your tooth away. You should give it to your mother and she will keep it for you.”
Jorge put up his hand. He had some different advice for Maxwell. Jorge was from Mexico. “You should put your tooth under your pillow（枕头）when you go to sleep,” Jorge said. “The tooth mouse will come. She will keep your tooth grow if she finds no tooth.”
“Really?” Maxwell asked excitedly. “Perhaps my tooth was taken away by a mouse. If I do as you advise, she will return my tooth when I’m sleeping. Is it right?”

Some people may be worried about choosing and giving the right gift for others. If you have this problem, read on, and you will find something useful.
★How much
When you want to choose a gift start by deciding how much you want to spend. This will stop you from spending too much time looking at gifts which are too expensive.
★Start early
If you go to buy the gift at the last minute, you won’t have enough time to choose and will probably buy something boring.
★Know others’ interest
If he or she loves dogs, you shouldn’t buy him or her a toy cat. If he or she hates sports, it wouldn’t be a good idea to give him or her a ping-pong bat.
★Give the gift by yourself
Don’t ask someone to be the postman unless（除非）one of you lives in Australia and the other lives in Brazil.
★A note or a card
Don’t be the anonymous guy. It’s impolite to make people guess the giver.
★Wrapping（包装）
The wrapping paper is very important. If you wrap up a gift with newspapers, it won’t seem good.
★Give the gift on time
It can make your gift more special if it arrives on time.
45. It’s important to think about your friend’s ______ before buying a gift.

park, but it also has a theme. The theme, of course, is Disney movies and Disney characters.

This means that you can find Disney characters all over the the roller coaster. You can also watch Disney movies, eat in Disney restaurants, and buy Disney gifts. And you can see Disney characters walking around Disneyland all the time!
Have you ever heard of a Disney Cruise? These are huge boats that also have the Disney theme. You can take a ride on the boat for several days, and you can sleep and eat on board. There are also many attractions on board, just like any other Disneyland. You can shop, go to Disney parties, and eat dinner with Mickey Mouse! The boats take different routes, but they all end up in the same place. That is Disney’s own island.
It is just so much fun in Disneyland.

Small talk is a conversation about unimportant subjects, but is often thought very important in certain social situations. In many English-speaking countries, it can be seen as impolite or unfriendly not to make small talk.
Non-personal subjects are usually right topic in small talk. Discussing the weather is an example. People may talk about the weather with the workers at the supermarket or with the attendants at the bus station. Small talk may also be related to the situations such as waiting in line. People in the line may speak to others about how slow it is in the post office or bank for example. Small talk is also common at parties when guests don’t know each other. Small talk can break the ice and make them feel at home by talking happily.
Small talk makes it OK to communicate, even when there is nothing really to say. When making small talk, especially with strangers or those you don’t know very well, it’s important to choose a right topic. You should remember that small talk must be common and not be personal.
