anthony melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from east haven who made history in february 2002. on christmas eve, 1992, anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor. two days before valentines day in 2002, alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants. “im 15 minutes older than him, but now im younger because of my heart and im not going to respect him,” alfred said with a big smile, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes. while the twins knew that genetics(基因) might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “wed put half a pound of butter on a steak. i overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so i guess i deserved what i got for not dieting properly.” the discussion moved to anthonys recovery. in the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. he was still on medication, but not nearly as much as alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery. “right now i feel pretty young and im doing very well,” anthony said. “i feel like a new person.” alfred said that his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. but, he added, “i love my brother very much. were very close and im sure well do just fine.”41. what did alfred and anthony have in common?a. exercise programs. b. education background. c. a sense of humor. d. love for bicycling.42. alfred said he was younger than anthony because _.a. he had a more successful heart transplantb. he recovered faster from the transplantc. he was born 15 minutes earlier than anthonyd. his new heart was younger than anthonys43. this article is mainly about _. a. the danger of heart transplanting b. becoming young by getting

group of friends round to my house, telling them that i was going to record their speech. i said i was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. thus, on one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. when they saw the room they were a bit alarmed, for it was laid out as a studio. in front of each easy chair there was a microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. i explained that all i wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. then we could relax and have a drink.i turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn seriously counted from one to twenty in their best accent. when it was over, i turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks, and for the rest of the evening there was general cheerful conversationinterrupted only by the fact that i had to take a telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time.or at least that was how it would appear. for, of course, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one, which was turning happily away in the kitchen. the participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. and my lengthy absence meant that i was able to obtain as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find.i should add, perhaps, that i did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over, and gave them the choice of destroying the tape. none of them wanted tothough for some years afterwards it always seemed to be my round when it came to the buying of drinks. linguistic research can be a very expensive business.46. the writer asked his friends to count from one to twenty because _.a. he wanted to record the numbers for his

our family. once i came out of the kitchen, complaining, “mom, i cant peel potatoes. i have only one hand.”mom never looked up from sewing. “you get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “and dont ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”in the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. when it was my turn, i shook my head. some kids behind me laughed, and i went home crying.that night i told mom about it. she hugged me, and i saw her “well see about that” look. the next afternoon, she took me back to school. at the deserted playground, mom looked carefully at the bars.“now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. she stood by as i struggled to lift myself with my right hand until i could hold the bar with my other elbow(肘). day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung(横档)i reached. ill never forget the next time, crossing the rungs; i looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.one night, after a dance at my new junior high, i lay in bed sobbing. i could hear mom come into my room. “mom,” i said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”for a long time, i didnt hear anything. then she said, “oh, honey, someday youll be beating those boys off with a bat.” her voice was faint. i peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. then i knew how much she suffered on my behalf. she had never let me see her tears.2. which can be used to describe moms

studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology,engineering, medicine of any other science? we all know that science plays an important role in our societies. however, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. the first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. the second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. what are these special methods of thinking and acting? first of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious he wants to find out how and why the universe works. he usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves. he is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. for example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in spectrum(光谱). he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. he rejects authority as the only basis for truth. scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively. furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation. lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. furthermore, he needs imagination if the wants to guess how processes work and how events take place. 56.many people believe that science helps society to progress through a.knowledge only.b.more than one aspect. b.technology only.d.the use of machines.57.which of the following statements about a curious scientist is true? a.he doesnt find confiden
