Answer 1

　　But John‘s brother had joined the army a few days before, and the same doctor had examined him too. This doctor remembered the older boy‘s family name, so when he saw John‘s papers, he was surprised.
　　"How old are you?" he said.
　　"Eighteen, sir," said John.
　　"But your brother was eighteen, too," said the doctor. "Are you twins?"
　　"Oh, no, sir," said John, and his face went red. "My brother is five months older than I am."

　　“你多大了?”军医问。枝码

　　At a jewelry store, a young man bought an expensive locket as a present for his girlfriend. "Shall I engrave her name on it?" the jeweler asked.
