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 Valentine"s Day in 2002, Alfred received a 19-year-ok
heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
"I"m 15 minutes older than him, but now I"m younger because of my heart and I"m not going to respect
him," Alfred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters. who laughed
frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition,they recognized that their
eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. "We"d put half a pound of butter on a steak.
I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly."
The discussion moved to Anthony"s 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 I"m doing very well," Anthony said. "I feel like a new person."
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, "I love my brother
very much. We"re very close and I"m sure we"ll do just fine."

(场合). It was almost as if by getting there an hour beforehand that she hoped to cause the plane to arrive
sooner. Thoughts raced through her mind. "Do I look all right? Will he notice that I"m wearing a new suit? Will
he even recognize (认出) me?" After all, it was a year almost to the day since she had last seen Joe. She fished
a mirror out of her handbag and inspected her face. Too much make-up? Joe had never made any comment
but she knew that he did not approve of (赞成) heavy make-up-"gilding the lily (锦上添花)", he called it. It was
funny how much importance she attached to making a good impression on him. After all, friends do not judge
each other by appearance. All the same, it was the first meeting after a long separation, and she wanted
everything to go off right.
Looking out of the window, Joe caught a first glimpse, through a break in the clouds of the town far below.
This was his third visit, and looked like becoming an annual (每年的) event. Certainly it was very flattering (高
兴的) that they had invited him to be the guest lecturer at their Autumn Congress yet again. The Chairman of
the Organizing Committee, as a matter of courtesy, had offered to meet him at the airport, as he had done
previous occasions. This time, however, it was not necessary, partly because Joe was quite familiar with the
city, but mainly because Anna had said that she could take the afternoon off in order to come and meet him.
B. she knew that Joe disapproved of heavy make-up
C. she had too much make-up on
D. she wanted to check that her new suit was alright
B. he had not seen her for about a year

D. she had changed a lot in the past year
B. At the last possible minute.
C. Just before the plane was due to land.
D. About an hour earlier.
B. Twice before.
C. Four times.
D. Several times before.
B. he was not sure which day he would travel
C. he feared that might cause a lot of trouble to the Chairman
D. he thought that Anna would be there to meet him
