THE JIM TWINS

You take it for granted that you are a unique person, different from everybody else on Earth,
and you understand that everybody else is also unique. Identical twins are fascinating because
they challenge this notion: they are unique people, of course, but theyre also unnervingly
similar to each other and opinions, mannerisms and personality traits.

Identical twins are rare, occurring in about three out of every 1,000 births. They seem to occur
at random, regardless of the age or ethnic background of the mother (unlike non-identical
twins which are, for example, far more common among Africans than Asians.) Although there
may be tiny differences in physical appearances between two identical twins, which allow
family and close friends to tell them apart, they do have exactly the same DNA. This is
because they develop from a single egg which divides in two during the very early stages of
pregnancy.

For scientists, the non-physical similarities between identical twins are the most interesting:
are they the result of growing up together in the same home, or are they the result of their
identical DNA? By studying identical twins who have not grown up together, researchers can
see which similarities remain and which disappear. In other words, they can learn which
aspects of a persons identity are determined by genes and which are influenced by the
environment. The Minnesota Twin Study is probably the best-known twin study to date. The
study provides information about how our environment and genes work together to influence
everything from attitudes, talents and abilities, to job selection, to failing in love, to aging and
health.

Identical twins Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were only four weeks old when they were
separated; each infant was taken in by a different adoptive family. At age five, Lewis learned
that he had a twin, but he said that the idea never truly soaked in until he was 38 years old.
Springer learned of his twin at age eight, but both he and his adoptive parents believed the
brother had died. The two Jims were finally reunited at age 39.

The similarities the twins shared not only amazed one another, but also amazed researchers at
the University of Minnesota. The very fact that both twins were given the same name was a
big coincidence. But theres more.

As youngsters, each Jim had a dog named Toy.


Each Jim had been married twice the first wives were both called Linda and the
second wives were both called Betty.
One Jim had named his son James Allan and the other Jim had named his son James
Alan.
Each twin had driven his light-blue Chevrolet to the same beach in Florida for family
vacations.
Both Jims had at one time held part-time posts as sheriffs.
Both were fingernail biters and suffered from migraine headaches.

While not as eerily similar as the Jim twins, many more instances of strange likenesses can be
found among twins who were raised apart. For example, identical twins Tom Patterson and
Steve Tazumi had very different upbringings. Raised in a Christian family by two janitors in
rural Kansas, Tom still managed to choose the same career as his brother. Steve, who lives in
Philadelphia, was raised in a Buddhist household. Both men own body-building gyms.

Its obvious from these twins stories that genetics are a major factor in shaping who we are.
In fact, research so far indicates that characteristics such as personality are mainly related to
genes. This means that our character traits as adults are largely determined before we are born
and there is very little that we, or anybody else, can do to change them.

Professor Wiseman, who compiled the report, said his findings tie in with other research about
the effect of family position on personality. He said University of California research had
suggested that, because younger children had not had the chance to develop the same skills
and abilities as their older siblings, they had to find novel ways of gaining attention. This
tends to make them more creative, unconventional, adventurous and rebellious.

THE JIM TWINS

You take it for granted that you are a unique person, different form everybody else on
Earth, and you understand that everybody else is also unique. Identical twins are
fascinating because they challenge this notion: they are unique people, of course, but
they're also unnervingly similar to each other and not only in terms of appearance.
They often share opinions, mannerisms and personality traits.

Identical twins are rare, occurring in about three out of every 1 000 births.

and which are influenced by the environment.

PARTE 6:

Read the whole text carefully, then match sentences A-H with gaps 1-6 (type de
letter in the gap). There are extra sentences

Heres one that you havent heard

The search involved travel abroad, a website, 40 000 printable jokes, more than two
million ratings from 70 countries, a years exhaustive breakdown of humour by age,
sex and nationality, and a brain scan of someone listening to jokes.

Laughlab, an experiment set up more than a year ago, established that the British,
Irish, New Zealanders and Australians prefer a play on words and that the French,
Danes and Belgians have a taste for the surreal. (1) The Germans apparently
have the broadest sense of humour if only because they have no national
preference, and therefore find almost anything funny.

It has been a fascinating year, said RichardWiseman, a psychologist at the


University of Hertfordshire, and founder of Laughlab. But if I hear one more joke Im
going to punch someone. It has been like being trapped in the back of a taxi with a
driver who constantly says. Heres one that you have never heard. (2)

The study reached a climax yesterday when a PhD student, dressed as a giant
chicken, unveiled the world funniest joke before the cameras in Convent Garden,
London. The winning joke was the product of international selection including ratings
by website visitors.(3) This joke, according to Dr. Wiseman, appealed to all. It also
contained the three elements that were found central to humour: a sense of
superiority, an unexpected response, and a sad feeling of mortality. The joke was
this:

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the
ground. He doesnt seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his heard. The
other guy whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to
the operator:
My friend is dead! What can I do? The operator, in a calm, soothing voice says:
Just take it easy. I can help. First, lets make sure hes dead. There is a silence, then
a shot is heard. The guys voice comes back on the line. He says OK, now what?

Dr. Gosall had liked the joke for years, He said: It makes people feel better
reminds you that theres always someone out there doing something more stupid
than you. It was one of a series of jokes read to a volunteer who was being given a
brain scan. With each joke, a specific area at the front of the volunteers brain lit
up. (4) It fits in with other research, because if people have damage to that part of
the brain, then they lose their sense of humour, Dr. Wiseman said.
There were other discoveries. In a study of British regional variation, the Welsh were
the keenest on jokes in general, and the Scots were the least keen. One joke
Whats brown and sticky? A stick was submitted 300 times, and nobody ever
found it funny. Dr. Wiseman also read out Laughlabs candidate for worst joke:

Knock knock.
Whos there?
Boo.
Boo who?
Dont cry.

The LaughLab computers counted the number of words in every joke that people
submitted. (5) Interestingly, the winning hunters joke is 103 words long - almost
the perfect length for a joke!

Many of the jokes submitted contained references to animals. The researchers found
that jokes mentioning ducks were seen as funnier than other jokes. (6)
Regardless, the implication is clear if you are going to tell a joke involving an
animal, make it a duck.

A. According to the data, jokes containing 103 are the funniest.


B. There was also a reaction in an area linked to memory, showing recognition of an
old joke.
C. The LaughLab computers also recorded the date and time that each person from
the UK rated the jokes in LaughLab.
D. But only the best jokes from each country were included in the survey.
E. Quite frankly, Ive had enough.
F. It was posted by Gurpal Gosall, a 31-year-old psychiatrist from Manchester.
G. Perhaps its because of their beaks, or webbed feet, or odd shape.
H. Americans and Canadians, on the other hand chuckle at jokes showing one
groups superiority over another.

WHEN THE MUSIC TAKES YOU

What do artists go through when they create, and does the process change
them? New Scientist (NS) magazine asked leading songwriters Alex Kapranos
of Franz Ferdinand and David Gray what inspiration feels like.

NS:Can you describe the process you go through when you write songs?
Alex: There are two very different stages. There is an initial creative stage where it all
comes out. It feels a bit like the first time you ride a bicycle or drive a car. 1 You
end up with this big sprawling mess of an idea. And then you have that other process
which is a lot more controlled, where you get rid of all the parts that are irrelevant.
During the first process you are not really considering what you're doing, youre just
doing it. The actual writing of a song is fairly easy. But the second process is very
ruthless and quite cold because you have to cut away things that you are attached to.

NS: Do you write better in certain environments?

Alex: I tend to write in all sorts of places. For our new record I've written songs in
hotel rooms, on the back of tour buses, in corridors, wherever l have had an
opportunity to sit down and pick up a guitar. 2 I usually just feel like doing it, and
do it. It's usually either when you feel there's no pressure to be doing other things, or
when you feel almost selfishly unaware of other things.

NS: Are you a different person when you're writing?

Alex: I find myself being rude to people when l am trying to get past the distractions. I
used to have big arguments with my mother. It's funny because l am generally not
rude at all, I am generally very polite, probably too polite.

NS: What does it feel like when you're writing?

Alex: If its good, it feels really exciting. Its like listening to a story you've never heard
before. 3 All the everyday stuff- conversation, where you left your keys - it all
seems to belong to a different brain almost like a brain in somebody else's head.
That's why the distractions are so infuriating, because it's like being reminded that
this other brain exists.

NS: How do you write your songs?

David: I begin with little ideas that aren't fully formed and I have to either excavate
further or enlarge a small idea and turn it into a song - perhaps join it to some other
ideas that I have hanging around. So a lot of the time it's more like being a
mechanic. 4 I pick up my guitar and within half an hour I've written one. Its an
instinctive process, you shut down conscious thought. 5 It's about dredging up
things that surprise you: images that you had stored and didn't know you had
remembered. One image will unlock a chain of images, and that becomes a song.

NS: How do you know if a song is any good?

David: You shouldn't always trust inspiration. Just because it came out of thin air
doesnt mean its any good. 6 The whole feeling, the purity of the germ of the song
- its all so vivid and wondrous. It feels so shockingly fresh. But a song that comes
from nowhere is usually much better than anything you consciously think up.
NS: What's your state of mind when you're writing?

David: Its an extremely intense period I find myself storming around the room, biting
my nails, scratching my head to the point that it bleeds. Its like having an itch you
can't scratch until the process is completed. It takes hold of you. That's how you
make records. You start off by tinkering around, making a few sounds and having a
really good time, but when you get deeper into it and your demands get greater and
more ambitious, something rears its ugly head. You become possessed. 7 I find it
really hard to get back into normal life.

A As you follow it, you lose your sense of where you are.

B I am not a particularly easy person to live with during these times.

C You're trying to control something but you're not quite sure which direction it's
going.

D I never write songs when Im in bad mood.

E But sometimes you can tell, because all your emotions are stirred.

F Environment isn't particularly important.

G But occasionally a song just seems to come out of nowhere.

H At the same time, you open a door in your brain that is normally closed.
