both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. they also love to travelin fact, they often take trips together. but in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.a child of the depression (大萧条), sheila was raised in brooklyn by parents who considered education a_luxury for girls. starting with her college education, she has fought for everything shes ever accomplished. perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the new jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. for sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.each writing in her own unmistakable voice, perri and sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to perri in a tiny town in trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. perri admits that she cant sort out all the mess in the households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy. together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit longhidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, perri and sheila tell their motherdaughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. a written account in two voices, every mother is a daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.文章大意：本文讲述的是一对母女一起生活，一起写作，一起分享对方的点点滴滴，其乐融融，和谐相处的故事。5why does perri think that her own life has mirrored her mothers?athey both have gone through difficult times.bthey have strong emotional ties with each other.cthey have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.dthey both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.答案：d细节理解题，由文章both have fulltime careers;
