I had the meanest（最刻薄的）mother in the world． While other kids ate candy for breakfast， I had to have cereal（谷类食物）and eggs． When others had Coke and candy for lunch， I had to eat a sandwich． But at least I wasn't alone． My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did．
My mother knew where we were at all times． She knew who our friends were．
We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day． The other kids got to wear the same clothes days．
We had to be in bed by 9：00 pm and up at 8：00 am．We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends．So while they slept， our mother gave us work to do．We had to wash dishes，make beds and learn to cook．I am sure she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us．
Through the years， things didn't improve a bit． We could not lie in bed "sick" like our friends did in order to miss school．
My mother was the meanest mother．Out of four children，a couple of us went on to higher education．None of us have ever done bad things． She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people．I am trying to raise my children like this． I will feel proud when my children call me mean，because， you see， I am so glad I had the meanest mother in the whole world．

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.During the test, the people were given ________.
| A．no breakfast at all |
| B．different foods or nothing |
| C．very rich breakfast |
| D．little food for breakfast |

| A．breakfast has great effect (影响) on work and studies |
| B．breakfast has little to do with a person’s work |
| C．a person will work better if he only has fruit and milk |
| D．girl students should have little for breakfast |
According to the passage, some people think that if you don’t have breakfast you will _____________.
| A．be healthier | B．work better | C．lose weight | D．lose your way |
