My uncle Harry's birthday was coming. I hadn't seen him or his1 Carl for long, so I decided to visit both of them. However, days before, they had had a serious argument.2 recently they realized it was just a misunderstanding, both of them didn't want to say sorry first. They were still a little 3 with each other. I decided not to mention the other after seeing one of them." As time goes by, they will 4 naturally,"I thought.

One day they both wanted to stay with me to have a chat. So I decided to be with Uncle Harry during the afternoon and promised Uncle Carl I'd visit him for a 5 . I made my plan secret.

That afternoon, Uncle Harry first gave me a tour of the town. At 4:00 pm, he said,"I'm a little hungry. Let's have dinner!"6 taking no for an answer, he took me to a restaurant called Montana Mike's, which is known for its beef, burgers and pizza in town.7 I'd soon have dinner with Uncle Carl,I hoped to get by with salad. But he ordered me a lot of beef.

After dinner, we said goodbye and I 8 made my way to Uncle Carl's place. When I arrived, Uncle Carl gave 9 almost the same tour. Then, I stopped before Montana Mike's again. I hoped not to be 10 to eat much beef again and not to meet the same waitress.

" Haven't you just come?" the waitress asked." It might be my twin brother,"I joked cleverly. Then,I tried once again to order 14 . But Uncle Carl, like his brother, didn't agree. He also ordered some beef for me. When I went back, I felt like my stomach was about to burst(爆炸). Later, both uncles knew the truth and couldn't help laughing, which quickened their getting along. And after that, I 15 had to have two beef dinners in two hours again.

On Wednesday, August 7, China got its first-ever gold medal in artistic swimming at the Paris Olympic Games. 

Among the impressive performers were twin sisters, Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi. Born in 1997 and grew up in Shenzhen, the sisters took an interest in artistic swimming when they came to Shenzhen sports team in 2005, asking to learn artistic swimming. The twins almost didn't make it to the team because of their parents heights. 

There is an unwritten rule in artistic swimming. If a sportswoman is less than 1.68 meters tall, she is unlikely to become a professional. The twins' father is less than 1.7 meters tall, while their mother is a little taller than 1.6 metres, which means the daughters are unlikely to be tall enough. 

However, the twins' strong will and strengths impressed Hu, coach (教练) of Shenzhen team. She recalled that twins, who studied at Nanshan Foreign Languages School, went for training after school every day. At 20 years old, the twins grew to be 1.72 meters tall. They were among the tallest when joining the national artistic swimming team in 2017.

With good physical quality and willingness to bear hardships, through years of hard training, they became key players and got a lot of medals. In 2010, the twins won the gold medal at the provincial games. They also won a gold and a bronze medal at the national games in 2013 and 2017. Then, they won four gold medals at the 2022 World Championships in Hungary and a gold in the duet event at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, winning the right for the Paris Olympics.
