Lisa, 8 years old, used to argue with her mom...

Lisa, 8 years old, used to argue with her mom about everything. One day, after an hour of arguing, Lisa said, “Mom, you never let me make decisions. You always decide what we are going to eat or where we are going. Why can’t you let me make decisions?”

Thinking for a moment, her mom said, “Lisa, you can decide what you are going to eat for tomorrows breakfast. I’ll cook whatever you want, but you have to eat up（吃光）whatever you ask for.” A big smile spread across Lisa’s face. “Okay. I’d like bacon, sausages, toast, eggs and chocolate milk.”

The next day, at breakfast she ate the bacon, sausages and toast, but when she finished her first egg, she was full. Lisa made herself eat up and then she walked to school. When she got to school, her stomach hurt, but by the time she was ready to go home, she felt better.

“Mom, I’d like beef, pie, peas, bread and butter and chocolate cake for supper.”

As her mom made supper, she started smiling, knowing it wouldn’t be much longer before Lisa learned her lesson. Lisa had no problem finishing the beef, pie, peas, bread and butter, but when she started eating the chocolate cake, she felt very full. That night she had a stomachache. She was up all night crying and felt very sick.

The third morning she went to her mom, “Mom, I don’t want to choose the food any more. I want you to decide what we’ll have for meals in the future.”

Happy that Lisa had learned her lesson, her mom replied, “You can decide what to eat once a week, but don’ t ask for too much, all right?”

From then on, Lisa didn’t argue with her mom that much, and her mom make more decisions. They were both much happier this way.

1.What did Lisa use to do?

3.What was the matter with Lisa when she reached school the next day?

4.Why did Lisa’s mom smile when she made supper?
