21、 When Amanda Wanklin and Michael Biggs fell in love, they didn't realize the challenges they might face as a biracial couple. Amanda says, 'At first we only knew that we wanted together. ' They settled down in Birmingham, England, eager to start a family. On July 3, 2006, the black and white couple got their “one in a million' miracle: Amanda gave birth to fraternal twin (异卵双胞胎) girls with completely different skin colors, and the greatly amazed parents gave their daughters intertwined names: one would be Millie Marcia Madge Biggs, the other Marcia Millie Madge Biggs.
From a young age the girls had similar features but very different color schemes. Marcia had light brown hair and fair skin like her English-born white mother, while Millie had black hair and brown skin like her black father, who is of Jamaican descent. 'We never worried about it; we just accepted it，' Michael says.
'When they were first born, ' Amanda recalls, 'people would look at my one daughter and then look at my other daughter. Then I'd get asked the question: 'Are they twins? ''
'Yes. '
'But one's white and one's black. '
According to Amanda, people who commented on the girls weren't openly discriminatory (歧视的) or judgmental—just very curious, and then as time went on, people just saw the beauty in them.
The twins know what racism is. 'Racism is where somebody judges you by your color and not by your true self, ' Millie says.
Michael, the father, says he’s faced inequality at times throughout his life because of the color of his skin. ' But it's a different time now, ' he says. Neither he nor Amanda has ever witnessed racist behavior toward their twin girls.
'When people see us, they think that we're just best friends, ' Marcia says. 'When they learn that we're twins, they're kind of shocked because one's black and one's white. ' But when the twins are asked about their differences, they mention something else entirely. 'Millie likes things that are girlie. She likes pink and all of that, ' Marcia says. ' I don't like the color pink; I'm a tomboy. People should know about us by our true selves, not by our colors. After all, people are made how they are. '
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Amanda and Michael are of the same race.
B.Amanda and Michael were not happy about the birth of their twins.
C.The possibility of twins with different skin colors is small.

22、Doug Falter, an American photographer, returned home, teary-eyed and exhausted. He pouted online that evening, "I lost my baby." That "baby" referred to a surfboard that had been custom-made for him. Hours earlier, a big wave had separated Falter from this prized possession.

But the story was far from over. Falter wanted to thank Branzuela with some surfing supplies for his kind act, but the teacher asked for school supplies instead, such as backpacks for his students and materials to help them learn English.

24、Best Things to Do in Boston
Boston is bursting with around-the-clock amusement and entertainment-from outdoor markets to museums.
Boston Public Garden
Sitting next to Boston Common, this large public park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted who was responsible for Central Park and Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. It’s the perfect place to chill out, take a walk in the green atmosphere and even rent a swan-shaped boat for a paddle around the pond.
Fenway Park
The oldest Major League Baseball stadium, Fenway is an atmospheric and unique place to watch a baseball game. Even if the Red Sox are having an off-year, it’s still worth buying a ticket to see a game, as it’s one of the most Bostonian activities you can do. One of the unique features of the 40,000-seat stadium is the “Green Monster”, the 37-foot green wall in the left field. When it’s not baseball season, you can take a tour of the stadium.
Faneuil Hall Market
Since 1742 this market has traded in fresh edible ingredients (可食用材料) and entertainment for Bostonians. There are dozens of stalls selling fruits and veggies as well as ready-to-eat dishes, along with street performers and some of the best people-watching in the city.
Museum of Fine Arts
The city’s main art museum is a good one. With nearly half a million art objects, it’s also one of the biggest museums in North America. There are works on display by the pantheon (名流) of history’s great artists, including Donatello, EI Greco, Renoir and Degas, just to name a few.
