I had the meanest（最刻薄的）mother in the world. W...

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(刻薄的) mother as I did.

My mother preferred to know where we were all the time. 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 eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, my mother was brave to break the Child Labour Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook and all sorts 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 children received higher education. None of us have ever been arrested(taken away by the police) or divorced. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am 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.

One Sunday morning in June my mother walked into my room. "Surprise!" she said, proudly holding up a yellow dress with black and white stripes. "I made it just for you. What do you think?"

I bit my tongue. How could I tell Mum it was the ugliest dress I had ever seen?

"It's perfect for church," my mother continued delightedly. "I wish someone had made a dress like this for me."

Too bad you can't wear it, I thought. But I knew Mum had spent a lot of time on the dress. Only the world's most ungrateful daughter would refuse. Unwillingly I put it on.

All through church I prayed, "Lord, let me get out of here without anyone seeing me." Especially Dennis Pearce, the boy I had a crush on. He was one of the cutest boys at Neptune High School. Although we were in some of the same classes, Dennis had never taken any notice of me. Every time I got near him, I became tongue﹣tied.

At the end of the service I hurried to the door. But I had to wait on the steps while my parents chatted with their friends. Just a little while longer… Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the Pearce approaching. Before I could escape, Dennis was right beside me.

I started talking a mile a minute, hoping if I kept it up he wouldn't notice my awful dress.

"I'm going to college in September," I said.

"That's great," Dennis replied, "I got accepted to police academy."

"Wow!" I said. Somehow I kept the conversation going. Soon we were walking to the parking lot together. The next thing I knew Dennis had asked me out on a date!

We fell in love through college, and finally got married. Months after our wedding I asked Dennis if he remembered the day he had first asked me out.

"You bet I do," he said. "You were always quiet in school, almost coldhearted. I didn't think you'd be much fun. But you were so lively when we talked on the church steps, I wanted to get to know you better." Maybe that zebra﹣striped yellow dress wasn't what I would have chosen, but that day it was the perfect dress for me.

1.What did the writer think of the dress?

A.It had special colors. B.It looked really awful.

C.Its style was boring. D.It was right for church. .

2.How did the writer probably feel when she was at church?

A.Proud. B.Angry. C.Nervous. D.Happy.

3.The writer kept up the conversation with Dennis in order to ________.

A.catch his parents' attention B.ask him out on a date

C.stop him noticing her dress D.get to know him better.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.A perfect dress. B.An excellent mother.

C.A creative date. D.An unforgettable service.
