Antonio and Julio were twins．They shared everything．They shared the same birthday，the same bedroom，and the same friends．（56）E，and both boys shared all the same toys．
One Saturday，Antonio and Julio went outside to play with their red wagon（四轮马车）．The twins loved the wagon．"I want to give my animals a ride，"said Antonio．
"（57）A，"said Julio．Both twins wanted to do different things with the same wagon．Antonio and Julio's mother heard the boys arguing and came outside．
"You boys must share the wagon，"said Mother．Mother told Antonio and Julio to take turns with the wagon．The twins did not want to share the wagon．
A few days later，Antonio and Julio's mother brought home a cat for the boys．"Can't we each have our own cat？"asked the twins．（58）C．
"I'm sorry，but you must share one cat，"Mother said．"You will have to feed the cat and make sure she does not get into anything．"Now Antonio and Julio were even sharing a job．
A few days later，the cat got into Mother's sewing（缝补） basket．In just a few minutes，the cat had made balls of yarn all the room．（59）D．He quickly went to find Antonio to tell him what the cat had done．
"Oh，no!（60）B，"cried Antonio．The boys quickly picked up the yarn and put it back in the basket．When the mess was cleaned up，Antonio and Julio made the cat her own toy from a piece of yarn．
"Just think，Julio，two cats would have made a bigger mess，"said Antonio．
"That's right，"laughed Julio．"Maybe sharing isn't so bad after all!"

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 I got when I was in high school．
The test was the final for a course．I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr．Right handed out our papers one after another．It was a rather （75）B test．I heard my classmates groaning （叹息），and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren't looking good．
Mr．Right put my paper on my desk．There in big red numbers，circled to draw attention，was my score，55!I lowered my head，and covered the score up quickly．A 55is not something that you wanted your classmates to see．"The scores were not very good，none of you （76）C，"Mr Right said．"The highest score in the class was a 55．"

For years，my mother was （79）A in that way．It didn't matter what others did，it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently．
We often don't understand the （80）D of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents'shoes．My mother's words have carried me throughout life．
