There are two types of twins; identical and non-identical twins. Identical twins are formed from a single egg in mother’s body which divides to from two separate babies. Identical twins look the same, and are often dressed by their parents in clothes of the same colors. It is often difficult to tell identical twins from each other, even when they are standing side by side. Non-identical twins come into being when the mother produces two separated eggs a the same time, both of which grow to form babies. In this case the twins look like normal brothers and sisters and are easy to tell one from the other.
In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research into twins. He invited many pairs of identical twins to university and asked them to take part in a week of tests. He was particularly interested in adopted (收养) twins who had been separated at birth. He would give the twins different kinds of tests to study their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory, the ways they saw and heard different things, and so on. Time and time again he found separated twins who preferred clothes of the same color, used the same kind of shaving soap, wore the same shaped square glasses and the same colored socks.
There is a third type of twins, but it is a very unusual one. Twins which are joined together at birth are known in western countries as Siamese twins.

A high school history teacher once told me, "If you make one close friend in school, you will be the most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life."_36__ teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily_37__.
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a _38_ friendship to 39 . However, there can be 40 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to be clear in our __41_ the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _42 at arm's length? Do we want to 43 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people , many friendships on the surface are __44_ enough-- and that's all right. But on some points, we need to 45 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing 46 experience 47 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it 48 be undertaken slowly and carried on only if there are 49 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the _50__ of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much time or too soon. Deep relationships 51 time. Another "major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one "possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 52 actions in return . In 53 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of . Unless you spend 54 time together , talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 55 .

Years ago, a Southern woman was in one of my workshops. When asked to tell a story that1her character (品质), she described an2when she was 5. She was at her grandfather’s house3up in a beautiful white skirt and new gloves , 4as she could be.
Her grandfather told her she could go into the5and get herself a cookie. Next to the cookies was a pile of coins. Sure that no one was6, she took one of the coins, too.
When she7with her cookie, her grandfather asked her to show him her8. She held out only her left hand9, and he said, “Show me the other hand.” When she unwillingly did10, showing the coin, she saw11
He paused a moment and then12her up, saying, “Darling, you can have anything in the world that I have, but it breaks my heart that you’d ever13it.” Some 50 years later, this story of how her grandfather gave her the gift of14still brought tears to her eyes.
Few things have as large an influence on15the values of a child as the strong pain of lovingly administered shame (羞愧). It helps judge right from wrong and gives a 16emotional (感情的) dimension to moral (道德的) and character issues.
Kids, and adults for that matter, learn from their17. Parents, teachers and coworkers can remind them of their moral responsibilities without shaming or18them.
What we can’t do is just let19go, unless we want to send the message that’s okay. What we allow, we20. And we should never encourage anything other than moral excellence.
