(1.0 point) 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 they’re also unnervingly similar to each 6 tg Caerother - and not only in terms of appearance. They often share opinions, mannerisms and personality tra 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 lean which aspects of a person’s 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 falling in love, to aging and health. . Identical twins Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were only four weeks old when they were separate: 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 there’s more, + As youngsters, each Jim had a dog named “Toy”. + Bach Jim had been married twice - the first wives were both called Linda and the second wives were both called Betty. + One Jim had named hi 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 ‘Tazumii 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. It’s 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 bom- and there is very little that we, or anybody else, can do to change them.

Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from sentences A-F the one which fits each gap. The first one has been done for you as an example. Write your answer (A, B, C, D, E or F) in the corresponding numbered boxes provided (2.0 point) If you love Spain but can't speak the language, take heart ~ there are plenty of enjoyable and rewarding ways to learn it, as Zoe Ross explains. Forget about childhood memories — learning a language is fun! (0) __E___. Added to which, it's polite and, in some circumstances, essential. I speak from experience. With ‘an opportunity to live in Barcelona for a few months last year, and little more than 'si, ‘non’ and ‘por favor in my vocabulary, I looked into ways to immerse myself in Spanish. My aim was to learn well, but quickly —and the rewards were instant. (1) But I wasn't fooling myself, A little wasn’t anywhere near enough, So it’s good to discover, as I did, that if you really want to learn a new language, there are now so many ways to do it. (2) If you want a bit of preparation before your trip, you'll find that most cities and large towns have language courses run by professionally-trained teachers. And it's the same in Spain, Some courses take a classical approach, building up vocabulary, grammar and confidence gradually, with possibly an exam qualification at the end. Others, usually described as ‘conversational’ courses, offer a less academic method aimed at getting by in everyday situations. (3) But with usually only ‘one or two lessons a week, progress can be slow and you have to work at the rate of everyone else in the class — frustrating if you're a fast learner: Many reputable companies now offer the opportunity to live with a Spanish family as part of a language course. It's an excellent option in terms of learning — Spaniards are a gregarious bunch so anything from a lively political debate to gossip about the neighbours may be held around the dinner table, and it’s up to you to wade in and keep up. But it takes a certain kind of person to adapt to this choice. (4) Self-study, in the form of CDs or language software to load onto a PC, is an increasingly expanding market, With both text and sound, you lean to read, write and speak Spanish. Many offer ‘homework’ exercises to re-cap on what you've learned and are available from beginner to advanced levels, so you can continue to improve to an almost fluent degree. This option doesn't suit everybody, however, particularly if you lack self-motivation, but the real bonus is the flexibility. Learn during your lunch hour or on an MP3 player on the way to work, or at three in the morning if it takes your fancy. Progress is also entirely personal. (5) With a smattering of Spanish under your belt, there are numerous ways that you can continue to improve. There are the many films on DVD which offer the choice to view in numerous languages or provide foreign subtitles. Pick a favourite, where you're familiar with the script, and read the Spanish or listen to the soundtrack instead. Whichever of these options you choose, my advice is to get stuck in. Spanish is a comparatively easy language, and with a few friendly gesticulations thrown in, you'll feel like a local in no time.
