I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have porridge, eggs or toast. When others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

My mother preferred to know where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed “sick” in order to miss school.

The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at night the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, my mother was brave to break the Child Labor Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook and all kinds of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do.

My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Two of her child received higher education. None of us have ever been taken away by the police or divorced (離婚). So she forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children call me “mean.” Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2017屆遼寧葫蘆島六校協(xié)作體高三上期初考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

I have had all kinds of interesting neighbors since the early days of my life. When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(嬰兒床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”.

The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although they were a year older than me. I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didn’t appear until the party was over.

Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors—I just did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother.

The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤蝦) which were so crisp that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home.

Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors.

1.We can guess "the Alsatian" in the twin brothers' home is ________.

A. a small child

B. an interesting toy

C. a dog

D. a bicycle

2.From the passage we can know that the author ________.

A. enjoyed the Japanese neighbors' cooking style most

B. had difficulty getting on with the twin brothers' family

C. was described as interesting when playing with boys

D. had many neighbors that worked in restaurants

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The author often moved to other places.

B. Peter and Paul liked to play tricks on others.

C. The neighbors the author had were good at cooking.

D. The author had a good relationship with her neighbors.
