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." | ||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||
