三、阅读理解。
My sister and I are very different. We have different personalities, and our lifestyles are different.
Do you resemble your brother or sister? My sister and I don’t resemble each other at all. I am tall, but she is very short. I have short dark brown hair and green eyes. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes. I am strong, but she is not. I have big hands and feet while her feet and hands are very small.
When we were kids, she was thin, but I was heavy. Now we’re both heavy. We also have opposite personalities. She is always stressed out. I am calmer and more outgoing. She is very worried about what other people think and say about her, but I really don’t care. When she has a problem, she just worries about it, but when I have a problem, I try to solve it. She easily gets angry, especially with our mother, but I am more patient.
Our lifestyles are very different. I love old things and hardly ever go shopping. But she goes shopping twice or more a week. I have cats. She has a dog. I prefer reading while she prefers watching TV.
