题目内容
【题目】 It was Sunday again. Paula and Emily disliked Sundays. That was one of the many things the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same way. In fact, it was sometimes hard for their teachers and classmates to tell the differences between them.
Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Sunday to prepare for their lessons. Paula had to attend the art class and Emily had to attend her dancing class. Both of them had learned their own classes for three years. “How I wish I could do something different today!” said the twins with one voice. All at once, a wonderful plan came to Paula and Emily at the same time. After giving each other a description（描述）of their own teachers and classmates, Paula put on Emily’s dancing dress while Emily put Paula’s things for painting into her bag. Then they left for their classes.
When the art class started, Emily felt lost. Unlike Paula, Emily was poor at drawing. When the art class finally ended, Emily didn’t dare to hand in her work.
Meanwhile, Paula was struggling（挣扎）in the dancing class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept walking into them. Their dancing teacher became a little bit angry with her, “Emily, you should remember the steps. You can’t depend on copying what others are doing.”
When Emily and Paula got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that “the grass was not always greener on the other side of the fence （篱笆）”.
