Tom woke up unhappy on Monday morning．He always woke up unhappy on Monday mornings．It was the idea of a whole week of school；he almost wished there were no weekends because that made it even more difficult to go back into classrooms．
He lay in bed and wondered what he could invent this time．He listened to his body but could find nothing wrong．A little stomachache? No．Then he realized that one of his teeth was loose （dropping out）．Good! He was just going to start shouting painfully when he thought that Aunt Polly would pull the tooth out and that would hurt．He looked for something else．Suddenly he remembered what the doctor had said about a certain problem with toes （five small front parts of a foot）--sometimes one had to stay in bed for one or even two weeks．He pulled his right foot out and looked at it．One of the toes was really hurting．Tom began to shout．Sid continued to sleep peacefully．Tom shouted more loudly．No result．
“Sid! Sid!” he shouted，shaking his brother．This worked．Sid slowly woke up．
“What's the matter，Tom?”
“Ouch! Don't touch me，Sid．You'll kill me．”
“Oh，Tom! Why didn't you wake me?”
“I forgive you everything，Sid．When I'm gone．．．”
“You aren't dying，are you，Tom?”
Sid ran out of the bedroom and down the stairs．
“Aunt Polly! Come quickly! Tom's dying!”
“Dying?” answered Aunt．“I don't believe it．”
But she went running upstairs anyway．
“What's the matter with you?” she asked in surprise．
“Oh，Aunt!” cried Tom．“My toe hurts．”
The old lady fell into a chair，laughing a little．
“Tom，you frightened me．Now stop crying at once and get out of bed．”
Tom felt a bit silly．
“But it did hurt so much that I forgot my tooth．”
“Tooth，eh? What's wrong with your tooth?”
“One of them is loose and it aches terribly．”
“No problem，” answered Aunt Polly quickly．“Sid，get the cotton from my sewing-- box．”
“Please! Aunt! Don't pull it out．It's stopped hurting now．Please! I don't want to stay at home．”
“Ah! So all this was because you wanted to cut class．Well，you'll have your tooth out and you'll go to school!”
In fact，everything went quite well for Tom．On his way to school，the hole in his mouth was the envy of all the other boys~ no one Could show off like he could!

Recently, binge（暴食）is becoming a major health problem in American.
“As soon as I came home I’d throw down my backpack and just start going though the refrigerator and start eating. Sandwiches, cookies, candy bars—I’d just continuously eat until I went to bed,” says Matt Wymer, 18. Matt was a binge eater.
“You know we start at a very young age. You fall and hurt your knees. Your mother may say, ‘Oh, here, we’ll go to get some ice cream, that’ll make you feel better.’ Or when you go to the doctor, something bad happens: The doctor says, ‘Oh, here’s something that’s comforting’, and you get a candy,” says Marilyn Tanner, a doctor.
Matt looked for comfort because he was always laughed at because of his weight.
“There’d be days when I’d come and pick him up from school and he’d get in the car and start crying before I asked him anything,” says Cathy Wymer, Matt’s mother.
“I’d just feel better after I ate a lot,” says Matt.
Experts say the first step of treatment for binge eaters is to help them find other ways, besides food, to feel better. “There are about five basic ways: You write, you talk, you cry, you exercise or you laugh,” says Genie Burnett, a psychologist.
With the help of his doctor, Matt started a diet and a daily workout. He’s lost more than 150 pounds, he’s healthier and he says he’d be more confident.
