A sense of humour is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo,64yearold twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002.On Christmas Eve,1992,Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21yearold donor.Two days before Valentine's Day in 2002,Alfred received a 19yearold 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 I 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.”
40.This article is mainly about ______.
A.the danger of heart transplant surgery
B.becoming young by getting a new heart
C.the effect of genetics on the heart
D.the twin brothers who received heart transplants
41.What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?
A.Lifespan. B.Career goals.
C.A sense of humour. D.Love for bicycling.
42.What did Alfred and Anthony think also caused their heart problems?
A.Exercise. B.Diet.
C.Surgery. D.Medicines.
43.Why did Alfred say,“I'm 15 minutes older than him,but now I'm younger because of my heart...”?
A.His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony's.
B.His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony's.
C.His exercise program was better than Anthony's.
D.His new heart was younger than Anthony's.

People who do not get enough vitamin A in their diet may develop night blindness.But in the developing world a lack(缺乏)of vitamin A causes much more serious harm to children.According to the WHO,as many as 25,000 children die every year because of a lack of vitamin A.
One excellent source of vitamin A is found in sweet potatoes with orange flesh(果肉).Orange sweet potatoes contain high levels of betacarotene(β胡萝卜素),which the body changes into vitamin A.Experts say orange sweet potatoes specially produced because of growing conditions in Africa could help solve the lack of vitamin A there.
But,first,more people will need to be persuaded to eat them.Jan Low says the sweet potato needs a better image in Africa.“We do have an image problem with the sweet potato in general in Africa.”Ms.Low explains that sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case(以防万一)another crop fails,so it is seen as a crop of the poor.
Jan Low took part in a project to study how to market(推销)orange sweet potatoes to Africans.The project included radio messages about the benefits of the orange sweet potato.They advertised its ability to “fight diseases,make you strong,clear your skin and make you look healthy.”In areas without radio,they spread the message through theater.The performances included singing,dancing and storytelling.
And everywhere they went,they wore orange Tshirts and hats.They even drove orange vehicles.Jan Low says the color of the orange sweet potato made it easier to gain public attention.
Dan Gustafson heads the Washington office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.He says most of these efforts in the past failed because organizers did not consider what people wanted to eat.But Mr.Gustafson sees a better chance for the efforts to increase the popularity of the orange sweet potato in Africa.“It is because you have got advertising that I think will work.”
47.The first two paragraphs tell us that ______.
A.people can't see well at night without eating sweet potatoes
B.lack of sweet potatoes leads to many child deaths in Africa
C.African orange sweet potatoes are different from those in other places
D.orange sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A
48.Africans usually think that sweet potatoes ______.
A.are food for poor people
B.don't look beautiful in appearance
C.are the main food for women
D.can't grow well in Africa
49.How did Jan Low advertise orange sweet potatoes in Africa?
A.She sold them in the market herself.
B.She spread the benefits of them by performing in some areas.
C.She sent messages to the local people by mobile phones.
D.She put an advertisement for them on TV.
50.The text is mainly about ______.
A.a better yet cheaper source of vitamin A
B.the difficulty in changing the way people think
C.the importance of vitamin A for our body
D.an image problem for the orange sweet potato
