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

Nowadays，cell phones are part of our lives．Many people have cell phones．They can help us easily find people anywhere at any time．However，using cell phones too often may cause cancer（癌症）．It's reported that people who use a cell phone for 10years or more may get brain cancer．

The suggestions below may help you reduce（减少） the risk of cancer：

When using your cell phone，try to keep it away from your body as much as possible．Don't put it on the bedside table when you go to sleep．

When you're on the cell phone，use the speaker（扬声器）．In this way，you have just 1/100th of the contact（接触） with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear．An earphone is also a good idea．

Try to keep your conversations short．If you need to talk longer，use an ordinary phone instead．

Change ears when you're using your cell phone．Before putting it to your ear，wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone．

Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or send messages，but not when you're listening or getting messages．Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer．

Do not use your cell phone when the signal（信号） is weak or when moving at a high speed，for example in a car or on a train．At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals，and this increases the radiation it gives out．

Later，while he was resting after the hard job，all the animals and birds came to him and expressed their thanks for his kind help in time．They were now ready to regard him as their good friend and their hero．They said，"A friend in need is a friend indeed．"
