| A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and 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 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." |

One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him. One of my friends has a large German shepherd (牧羊犬) named Jack.

| Anna arrived far too early. Usually she left things to the last minute, but today was a very special occasion (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. |

| For most students in universities, 20,000 yuan is a big sum. But Xiao Wang paid the money soon after she learned that she could change to the popular Economics Department. But by paying 20,000 yuan with the help of her parents, Xiao Wang can study the economics major she prefers. "It is difficult for graduates (毕业生) in chemistry to find a good job in recent years," she said. Xiao Wang is only one of the many freshmen that pay to change to popular majors. Many universities throughout China offer similar services. The charge for changing majors are from 5,000 yuan t0 80,000 yuan, according to a recent report on the Yangzi Evening News. The fee (费用) is decided by university authorities based on the popularity of each major, the report said. The most popular majors include computer science, law, finance, information engineering and foreign languages. A saying popular among students may explain the phenomenon (现象). Studying a good major is much better than studying in a famous university. Some educators warn students against rushing blindly to today's popular majors. They may not be popular years later, the China Youth Daily said. But it seems that many students are career-oriented (以职业为宗旨的), instead of being interest-based. Freshmen are allowed to change to other departments, according to rules of the Ministry of Education. But there is no official rules on the charges. In spite of the high charges, demands to change majors are still increasing. The paper said about 100 students in the English language department of a school in Harbin changed from other departments. The department planned to admit only 50 freshmen this year. These charges have become a big income for some universities, the paper said. It is expected a normal school in Harbin will get an income of 30 million yuan this year. |
