I had walked along the sea for about an hour until I began to feel hungry.It was seven.At that time I was not far from a favourite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week.I knew the owner well.
I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal.While I was waiting, I looked 1 to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant.Then I saw a man sitting at a corner table near the door keeping looking in my direction, as if he knew me.I certainly didn’t know him, for I never forgot a 2 .The man had a newspaper 3 in front of him.But I could see that he was keeping an 4 on me.When the waiter brought my soup, the man was 5 puzzled(迷惑)by the familiar(熟悉)way that the waiter and I called each other.He became even puzzled as 6 went on.He could see that I was well 7 in the restaurant.At last, he got up and went into the kitchen.After a few minutes he came out again, 8 for his meal and left.
When I had finished, I called the owner of the restaurant and asked him 9 the man had wanted.The owner told me he was a detective.“Really?” I was 10 .“He was certainly 11 in me.But why?” I asked.“He followed you because he thought you were a man he was looking 12 , ” the owner said.“When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a 13 of the man.He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we 14 you, I told him that he had made a mistake.”It was 15 I came to a restaurant where I was known, or I might have been arrested!
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.
