As the fifth of seven children， I went to the same public school as my three elder sisters and brother．Every year， each child from the third grade took part in an old school tradition﹣the plant sale held in early May， just before Mother's Day．
That year I was old enough to take part in it． I wanted to surprise my mother， but I didn't have any money． I told my elder sister about it and she gave me some money． When I arrived at the plant sale， I carefully chose my favorite． I watched each plant seriously to make sure that I could find the best geranium（天竺葵）． After school， with the help of my sister I bid it on the neighbor's porch（门廊）．On Mother's Day， I remember how bright my mother's eyes were and how alated she was at my gift．
The year I was fifteen， my younger sister reached the third， grade． She told me that， she wanted to
surprise our mother． Like my elder sister did for me， I gave her some money． And she bought the same gift and we hid it in the same place． When she gave the gift to my mother， I watched them full of pride and happiness． My mother noticed me watching and gave me a soft and secret smile． With a shock at my heart， I smiled back．
I wonder how my mother could pretend （假装） to be surprised at the same sixth child， but as I watched her eyes， I knew she was not pretending．

Now more and more people in the world are getting fatter. This troubles them a lot. Experts(专家) say that it has a lot to do with our eating habits.
Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than vegetables and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(食欲).
It's important for us to eat our meal in the same period each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) often decided whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow(吞) the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth. Because when a man is worried about something, he will have trouble in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.
