Answer the questions（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題):

As soon as people realize that my brother Michael, my sister Tiffany and I were born on the same day, that we’re triplets, they ask the strangest questions. But no, we can’t read each other’s minds. We don’t have the same dreams. And I can promise you that we don’t always get along. These are the things I get asked most often when people meet me for the first time.

Although there are lots of good things about being a triplet, one thing I really don’t like is when people think of us as one person - ‘MichaelDesireeTiffany’ instead of ‘Michael’ and ‘Desiree’ and ‘Tiffany’. I don’t like it when people think we should act or think the same just because we were born at the same time, like when people ask me why I’m so shy while Michael and Tiffany are so much louder. And I definitely don’t like it when people don’t understand that we have individual (個(gè)人的) choices of what to do in our spare time.

Growing up, Tiffany, Michael and I shared almost everything. It was funny how the exact moment I wanted to use the bike was the same time that Tiffany felt like going for a ride. When the three of us learned to drive at the same time, we very often fought over who got to practise with the car.

My dad came up with a brilliant plan called ‘turns’. One Sunday a month, each of us would have a chance to spend three hours with our dad, alone, and do whatever we wanted. For three hours every month each of us was allowed to feel like he/she was an only child. This helped me to see that being a triplet is a part of me, but it isn’t the only part of me. I don’t just want to be thought of as ‘Desiree, the girl who’s a triplet’. I want to be thought of as an individual.

1. Is Desiree the only girl of the triplets?

2.What question might people ask the triplets when they first meet them? Give one example.

3.How did they decide who practised with the car first?

4.How often could each of the triplets have the “alone time” with their father?

5.In what ways are the triplets different? (List 2)

They have different __________ and __________.

6.What are the bad things about being a triplet?
