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 36 to 42.
WHO TOOK THAT TOOTH?
	Different cultures follow their own special customs when a childout. 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 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, instead of mice, 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 in 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 the fat of 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 or candy. In the United States, however, the Tooth Fairy usually leaves money. These days, the rate is $1 to $5 per tooth. That can add 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 43 to 50.
	Historically, sugarcane was not very important. It was simply a plant which people chewed to enjoy its sweetness. That changed, however, when a method was developed in India for turning sugarcane juice into sugar crystals. In this form, sugar could be stored, carried, and sold around the world. In the 11th century, sugar was introduced to Western Europe by Crusaders who encountered it in Asia.
	The center of sugarcane production later moved from Asia to the Americas, following the arrival of European colonists. Sugarcane grew very well in the hot, humid environment of the Caribbean islands. Plants started to be cultivated on large sugarcane plantations there. Yet, before the 18th century, sugar was too expensive for most people to buy. In fact, it was sometimes called “white gold.” Around this time, however, it became possible to mass-produce sugar. As a result, the price dropped. In the 19th century, people started to think of sugar as a necessity.
	As more and more people developed a taste for sugar, demand for the product greatly increased. The sugar economy boomed, starting a period of major social change. Running a sugarcane plantation required a lot of workers. Plantation owners wanted the cheapest possible source of labor. Sadly, the slave trade grew bigger throughout the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries as sugar became more popular. During the 18th century, almost a million people were taken from Africa to work on sugarcane plantations. People from East India and other parts of Asia were also brought to the Americas to work on the plantations. Global consumption of sugar continues to increase today. The sugar industry no longer uses slave labor, but many workers receive very little pay and live in poverty. For something so sweet, sugar has a bitter history.

	D. More European colonists were there than anywhere else.
