twins were born 17 years ago, doctors told her that they were a pair in a million. one had down syndrome(低能综合症), while the other did not. here, cathleen tells their touching story. since sean was born 17 years ago, i have always thought that he is just as wonderful as his brother and sister. though he had a disability, we have never viewed him as a burden. he has always been a blessing. the doctors explained that though they were twins, they came from two different eggs. lisa could walk at 11 months old, while sean didnt take his first steps till he was three. by two, lisa was talking a lot, but sean wasnt able to speak until he was nearly four. for the first five years of his life, sean needed a great deal of care. looking after him was my full-time job, though i also worked as a technical adviser in a computing company. we never treated them differently. we gave them the same toys and spoke to them in the same way. we encouraged sean to keep up with lisa, even though he never could, and we would help him develop his abilities. we sent them to the same primary school even after doctors advised us that sean should go to a school for the disabled. we had to explain to lisa that he wouldnt learn as quickly as she would. she told us that shed help him with his school work. having a non-disabled twin has really helped sean develop. the love they share has given him a great deal of support. now sean and lisa are both about to finish high school. i dont think he would have done nearly as well today without lisas help.48.at least how many children does mrs. gardiner have? a. two.

people who never smoked. almost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer. researchers say genetics (遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的） differences. there could be differences in how peoples bodies react to smoke. but environ-mental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference. african-americans and latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. whites are the heaviest smokers. but the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. this could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer. scientists know that some diseases affect different groups differently. and some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted (针对) medicines. last june, the united states food and drug administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. the name is bidil. the agency called it a step toward the
