My mother had come to teach in the island school and fell in love with my father. What my father needed were sons. What my mother gave him were girls. Twin girls! I was older than my sister by a few minutes. I always treasure the thought of those minutes. They were the only time in my life when I w as the center of everyone’s attention. From the moment Caroline was born, she drew all the attention to herself. When my mother and grandmother told the story of our births, it was mostly of how Caroline had refused to breathe. "But where was I?" I asked my mother. "In the basket," she said, "Grandma dressed you and put you in the basket."

Caroline’s true gift was her voice. Our teacher, Mr. Rice, said she should have singing lessons. I was proud of my sister, but something began to hurt me under the pride. As time went on, I suffered more and more deeply.

Later, I became a nurse-midwife, the person who helps deliver（给……接生） babies.

I went to a town called Truitt, where there were no doctors then. People there were usually slow to accept outsiders, but they needed my skills for all their medical problems.

One night, I was helping with the birth and I guessed twins. The first baby -- a boy came easily. But the second baby -- a girl came head first and blue as death.

The kitchen was slightly warmer than the bedroom, so I laid the second baby on some cloth on the door of the oven. Then I suddenly asked, "Where is the other twin?" In my concern for his sister, I had completely forgotten him. "He’s sleeping in the basket," said the grandmother. "You should hold him," I said, "and let his mother look after him!"

It’s a warm summer afternoon. You’re cooking up the catch of the day over a campfire. Suddenly, a few raindrops fall on your arms, and before you know it, the sky is opened up. Then you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. What should you do? Your tent is close by and would offer shelter(躲避处) from the pouring rain. There’s a campsite(营地) picnic shelter a few minutes down the path. And then you remember that your car is parked down the road. What’s your safest choice to make sure you and your families are safe?
