From the Other Side
Lara and Tara are twins. 56 , but they are very different in everything else. For example, hot food is Lara' s favorite, and Tara has a sweet choice.
However, this isn' t the problem with the twin girls. They always argued that the opposite one was wrong. 57 , while Tara insisted that mornings were fresh and it was difficult to stay up till midnight.
58 . To put an end to their fights, their parents decided to create a small drama. They wanted the girls to understand that they were both correct from their own point of view. Their parents covered the girls' eyes with black ribbons, and brought them to the dining room. 59 . Lara was asked to stand on one side of the board and Tara on the other. They couldn' t see the other side of it. When the ribbons were taken away, they were surprised to see a huge board between them.
Now, their father asked Lara, “What' s the color of the board?” She replied, “It' s black!” 60 . She replied, “It' s white!”The two girls began to argue again. While Lara was confident it was black, Tara was sure it was white. Then, they were asked to exchange(交换)their places. They couldn' t believe their eyes. Tara, who insisted it was a white board, saw a black one. Similarly, Lara, who argued the board was black, was shocked to see a white one. They understood that each of them was right in her own view.
Most of us are like Lara and Tara. We are right most times, but insist that others are wrong!
A.They look like each other
B.For years, their arguments continued
C.Their mother asked Tara the same question
D.In the room, a big board was placed in the middle
E.Lara thought it was terrible to get up early in the morning
答案及解析：
56. A 前文提到“Lara and Tara are twins.”，A选项“They look like each other”(她们长得像)符合双胞胎的特点，且与后文“but they are very different in everything else”形成转折关系，所以A选项正确。
57. E 后文“while Tara insisted that mornings were fresh and it was difficult to stay up till midnight.”表明这里是在对比两人对于早晨和熬夜的不同看法，E选项“Lara thought it was terrible to get up early in the morning”(Lara认为早上早起很糟糕)与Tara的观点形成对比，符合语境，所以E选项正确。
58. B 前文提到她们总是争论对方是错的，B选项“For years, their arguments continued”(多年来，她们的争论一直在继续)承接上文，进一步说明争论的持续状态，所以B选项正确。
59. D 后文提到“Lara was asked to stand on one side of the board and Tara on the other.”，说明房间里有一个大板子，D选项“In the room, a big board was placed in the middle”(房间里中间放着一个大板子)符合文意，所以D选项正确。
60. C 前文父亲问了Lara板子的颜色，这里应该是母亲问Tara同样的问题，C选项“Their mother asked Tara the same question”(她们的母亲问了Tara同样的问题)符合逻辑，所以C选项正确。
