indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37.

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

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!

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 questions from 38 to 45.

The oceans are so vast and deep that until fairly recently, it was widely assumed that no
matter how trash and chemicals humans dumped into them, the effects would be negligible.

Proponents of dumping in the oceans even had a catchphrase: "The solution to pollution is

dilution."

Today, we need look no further than the New Jersey–size dead zone that forms each summer
in the Mississippi River Delta, or the thousand–mile–wide swath of decomposing plastic in

the northern Pacific Ocean to see that this "dilution" policy has helped place a once

flourishing ocean ecosystem on the brink of collapse.
There is evidence that the oceans have suffered at the hands of mankind for millennia. But

recent studies show that degradation, particularly of shoreline areas, has accelerated

dramatically in the past three centuries as industrial discharge and run–off from farms and

coastal cities have increased.
Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminants that are outside the norm for a given

ecosystem. Common man–made pollutants reaching the oceans include pesticides,

herbicides, chemical fertilizers, detergents, oil, sewage, plastics, and other solids. Many of

these pollutants collect at the ocean's depths, where they are consumed by small marine
organisms and introduced into the global food chain.

Many ocean pollutants are released into the environment far upstream from coastlines.

Nitrogen– rich fertilizers applied by farmers inland, for example, end up in local streams,

rivers, and groundwater and are eventually deposited in estuaries, bays, and deltas. These

excess nutrients can spawn massive blooms of algae that rob the water of oxygen, leaving
areas where little or no marine life can exist.

Solid wastes like bags, foam, and other items dumped into the oceans from land or by ships

at sea are frequently consumed, with often fatal effects, by marine mammals, fish, and birds
that mistake them for food. Discarded fishing nets drift for many years, ensnaring fish and

mammals. In certain regions, ocean currents corral trillions of decomposing plastic items

and other trash into gigantic, swirling garbage patches. One in the North Pacific, known as

the Pacific Trash Vortex, is estimated to be the size of Texas.
Pollution is not always physical. In large bodies of water, sound waves can carry

undiminished for miles. The increased presence of loud or persistent sounds from ships,

sonar devices, oil rigs, and even from natural sources like earthquakes can disrupt the

migration, communication, and reproduction patterns of many marine animals, particularly
aquatic mammals like whales and dolphins.
