I have only seen my father cry once．It was at the Alton train station, back when the trains still ran．I was on my way to Philadelphia to 1 the train that would take me to Boston and college．I was eager(热切的)to go．College, with its 2 and the promise of the better future had become more interesting．It 3 me to see tears in my father’s eyes as he shook my hand and said goodbye．
For eighteen years, we had never had a(n) 4 to say goodbye like this．He was taller than me, 5 I was not short．I was going somewhere, and he was seeing me off．He 6 me, but he had not needed to say before, and now his tears were 7 it．
The tears in my father’s eyes told me that we would have less and less to do with each other．I had taken my 8 from his, and now I was learning it．The train 9 and I boarded(登上)it．My father looked smaller from the train．We 10 goodbye to each other through the window．I was wearing the heavy winter coat that my father had bought for me to keep me from catching a cold in New England．
Martin Henfield talks about some of his experiences(经历) as a twin："When we were small,my mother dressed us 1 the same clothes.That was bad enough and we didn't like it.But when we went on our first camping(野营) trip with the Scouts(童子军),it
was even 2 ndline.We were only ten year8 01d,and while 3 went into their sleeping bags for the night,we were not happy to snuggle inside a double sleeping bag my mother made for us."
At school our classmates 4 us Henfield One and Henfield Two,so people couldn't even see our difference according to our initials (姓名的开头字母) because 5 of us were M.H.It was only when I went to college and began to have my own friends that I started to feel my own freedom of identity(身份).
Before I went to college(大学),during my last secondary school 6 ndline,I got a job on a building site.My twin brother,Mike Henfield,didn't work.He was resting.One day I said to the foremail(工头),"Can I have a week off?" "Certainly,"he said,"but you won't have the job when you 7 back." I didn't want to 8 the job.So on Monday morning,Mike went to the building site in my jeans(牛仔裤),jacket and hat and he worked for me for one week.9 of them knew the difference.
Now I am growing old and I feel very different 10 my twin brother.And he'll tell you the same.We have really worked towards that for forty years.
