Martin Henfield talks about some of his experience (經(jīng)歷) 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 we went on our first camping trip,it was even 2        We were only ten years old,and while 3        went into their sleeping bags for the 4       ,we were not happy to snuggle (很依) inside a double sleeping bag my mother made for us.

At school our classmates 5        us Henfield One and Henfield Two,so people 6        even see our difference according to our initials because 7        of us were M. O. It was only when I went to 8        and began to have my own friends that I started to feel my own freedom of identity (身份) .

Before I went to college,during my secondary school 9       ,I10       to a job on a building site. My twin brother,Mike Henfield,didn't work. One day I asked my boss, "Can I have a week 11       ?" "Certainly," he said, "but you won't have the job when you 12        back. " I didn't want to 13        the job. So on Monday morning,Mike went there in my 14       ,jacket and hat and he worked for me for one week. 15       of them knew the difference.

He spent all day 5        his desk. Day in and day out,he corrected 6        of thin,cheap paper with a pen and ink. He often had to stop to 7        his pen and it did not write 8        on the thin paper. He and his brother George 9        some experiments. They wanted a pen that did not leak,with ink that did not spill. Why not 11       a little ball at the end?
