         I had about 10 minutes to exercise before I had to pick up my two older daughters from school
    yesterday. It was a busier day than usual for me with a couple of meetings besides my regular work.
         Years ago, I would have put off my workout and would have left things for the next day. But since it
    was a busy day as well, I knew that I may not have all that much time either. So, I picked up my kettle-bell (哑铃) and went to town for 4 minutes.
         See, 4 minutes, if that's all you've got, is enough to give your body a great fat-burning exercise. How
    did I get a killer workout in 4 minutes? I used a training workout discovered 10 years ago by a Japanese
    Sports Scientist called a TABATA.
         It includes 20-second periods of warm-up, followed by 10-second periods of rest and 4-minute
    straight exercise. How is a 4-minute exercise able to burn fat? It all depends on the quality of work you do. Not on the quantity. Here's how I did it yesterday.
         You should never forget your warm-up. A TABATA workout is 20 seconds of 2-arm Kettle-bell
    swings, 10 seconds rest, 20 seconds push-ups, and 10 seconds rest. You should do those 4 rounds.
    That's it. I was done in a total time of 8 minutes by the time and when I got to school my heart was still
    pumping pretty hard.
         A healthy body is needed for studying and working, and efficiency (效率) is the key to building a great body in the least amount (数量) of time possible and you can't get more efficient than a 4-minute workout.

           I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have
    cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a
    sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids' too. But_at_least_I_wasn't
    _alone_in_my_sufferings.   My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
           My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends
    were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we'd be gone an hour, then we be gone one
    hour or less-not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you
    can see how mean she was.
         The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning.
    We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath,
    while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up
    mean things to do to us.
        Through the years, things didn't improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did,
    and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends' report cards
    had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she
    was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
          As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school.
    With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure
    of being a dropout.
          My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some
    higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You're right,
    our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
          Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean.
    Because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world.

         I had this exchange with my 6yearold son last week.
         Him:Mom,  we have to start buying Danimals.
         Me:Why?
         Him:So,  I can bring it to school for lunch.It's yogurt.
         Me:Why do you want it so badly?
         Him:Because Danimals is giving away five fantastic Caribbean vacations.
         I had to explain that there was little chance that he would win a vacation.It's a strategy used to
    encourage kids to beg for artificiallycolored (人工着色的) yogurt that costs a lot.
         Marketing follows my kids-and yours-wherever they go.It comes via TV commercials.Store displays
    and websites are also constantly selling at our kids.But the most powerful means in kids' lives is the
    presence of licensed characters on every,  product imaginable.
         Children can begin their day in character clothing.There's even characterthemed wall paint available.A
    breakfast in a character bowl can be followed by a character toothbrush and character toothpaste (牙膏),  character soap and shampoo,  and a character wash cloth and towel.Then,  they can put on
    character clothing and character shoes.Check that,  character clock on the wall:Is it time for
    charactershaped fruit snacks yet?
         Surround kids with enough of the characters and they'll come to believe they need them.Most of us,  
    of course,  don't buy all those items.But say no to four products out of five and your home can still get
    filled with these tiny items encouraging brand loyalty (品牌忠诚).
         At this time of year,  parents buy licensed school supplies.With so much marketing around us,  it can
    be tough to stop the tide.
         "One thing that helps parents is that they can talk to other parents about this kind of thing,  " Linn
    suggested."If you decide you want to buck this,  it helps to find other people who will do the same thing.
    That way,  if your child says,  'Everyone's doing it,  'you can really have a sense of whether everyone is."

    1. From the dialogue between the author and the son,  we can infer that________.

    A. the son likes drinking yogurt a lot
    B. buying Danimals may win a free tour
    C. the son's school encourages kids to eat yogurt
    D. Danimals is the most popular yogurt among kids

    2. We can learn from the passage that________.

    A. character bowls increase kids' appetite
    B. characterthemed wall paint is expensive
    C. household goods are becoming the target of advertisers
    D. Linn considered characterthemed products a foolish marketing strategy

    3. What does the passage mainly tell us?

    A. Marketing is affecting kids all the time.
    B. Most kids now don't have a happy childhood.
    C. Kids like buying licensed school supplies a lot.
    D. Licensed character products are doing great harm to kids.
