I have always been interested in clowns(小丑).The earliest thing I can remember, as a child of three, is seeing a pair of clowns-one very fat, and the other very 1 .A traveling circus(马戏团)came to our town and my parents took me to see it.When we arrived at the circus, everyone was laughing at the clowns.I didn’t understand why they were laughing, 2 I laughed too.
While I was 3 , the fat clown came and sat down next to me.“Shall we dance?” he asked, then 4 me up and began dancing.I felt frightened and began to cry. 5 then I have been interested in clowns.They make me laugh a lot, although they still make me a bit 6 too.
In life, we sometimes laugh at things that 7 us.We often laugh most at people who make us nervous.When we laugh, we relax and 8 ourselves.People who never laugh can become worried and ill.Laughter is like medicine and a clown is like a 9 .
There have always been, and there will always be clowns, because people need to laugh.Laughter is the best kind of 10 in life.
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.
