Have you ever listened to young children talking? They say many interesting things, like “my dad’s car is bigger than your dad’s.” and “My mum is smarter than yours.”

There were three little boys, Harry, Ted and Gavin. They were always boasting(自吹自擂). Gavin was the worst. Everything in his home was always the best or the biggest or the most expensive.

One day when they were walking to school, Harry said, “My father has a bath twice a week.” Ted spoke next, “That’s nothing. Having a bath twice a week means your father is dirty. My father has a bath every day, sometimes twice a day.”

Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his turn. But what could he say? He couldn’t say that his father had a bath three times a day. He walked in silence. Ted smiled to Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were sure that for once they had won.

They reached the school gate. Still Gavin said nothing.

One day had gone. On their way home, Ted said to Harry, “We’ve won.” But he spoke too early, because Gavin said suddenly, “My father’s so clean that he doesn’t have to have a bath at all.”

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the US. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, 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 in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight(减轻体重).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.
