下面是Mary的笔友Amanda写给她的信，信中Amanda介绍了烤肉串的制作方法。仔细阅读短文，完成信息采集表格。答案写在答题卷对应题号位置上。

Dear Mary,

??? How’s it going? Things are fine here. I am very happy every day. Last week on the “Good Cook” on CCTV-2, I learn to make the kebabs(烤肉串). And I want to tell you how to do it.

??? Before starting to cook, we should have some meat, vegetables and some sauce. Of course, we need tools(工具), too, like skewers(烤肉签)， the barbecue(烤肉架) and the charcoal(木炭).

??? Now you can start! First, cut up some meat and vegetables and put them in a bowl with your favorite sauce. Mix them up. 20 minutes later, put the meat and vegetables on the skewers. Then put charcoal in the barbecue and light it. After that, put the kebabs on the barbecue and cook for 10 minutes to 15 minutes, turning them over from time to time. Finally, take the kebabs off the barbecue and enjoy them!

??? I tried this recipe. It is really great! I hope you can try it later.

??? Best wishes!

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.
