I hired a worker to help me repair all old farmhouse.After he had just finished a rough first day on the job, a flat tire(车胎没气)made him 1 an hour of work and his electric drill(电钻)was broken and his old truck refused to start.While I drove him home, he sat in 2 .
On arriving he invited me in to meet his family.As we walked toward the front door, he stopped at a small tree, 3 the branches with both hands.When opening tile door he changed completely.His face was covered in 4 and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward he walked me to the car.We passed the tree and my curiosity(好奇)got tile better of me.I asked him about what I had seen him do 5 .“Oh, that's my trouble tree,”he replied.“I know I can't help having 6 on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't 7 in the house with my wife and the children, So I just 8 on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to tale care of them.Then in the morning I 9 them up again.”
“Funny thing is.”he smiled.“when I come out in tile morning to pick them up, there aren't nearly as 10 as I remember hanging up the night before.”
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.
