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 o
20、lder 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 condi
21、tion, 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
22、 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 p
23、retty young and Im 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.

The food that tasted good.BOnce I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I sai
27、d 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
28、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 bes
