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 (收養) 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  .

One night, a young school teacher had a dream．In his dream, an angel appeared and said to him, "You will be given a child who will grow up to become a world  26 ．How will you prepare him so that he will realize his 27 , grow in confidence, be open-minded, and strong in character? In short, what kind of 28  will you provide so that he can become one of the truly  29 leaders?"
The young teacher 30  in a cold sweat．It had never 31  to him before --- any one of his present or future students could be the person  32  in his dream．Was he preparing them to  33  to any position which they want? He thought, "How might my  34 change if I knew that one of my students was this person?" He 35 began to develop a plan in his mind．
His teaching 36．Every young person who walked through his 37 became, for him, a future world leader．He saw each one, not as they were, but as they could be．He 38 the best from his students, yet tempered （使緩和） it with compassion （同情）．He taught each one 39 the future of the world depended on his instruction．
After many years, a man he taught rose to a 40 of world prominence （著名）．Of all the various teachers in his life, he was the 41 ．
Children are  42  messages we send to a time and place we will never see．Believe that one child’s  43  may depend upon influence only you can provide, and something remarkable will 44 ．For no young person will ever be 45 to you again．And you will never be the same．

Years ago, a Southern woman was in one of my workshops. When asked to tell a story that1her character (品質), 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.
