22、Story 1

In America in 1940, the twin boys went to live with two different families almost as soon as they were born. The two brothers never saw each other again until 1979, when they met by chance at a party. When they started talking to each other, they discovered some amazing similarities (相似处). First, they found out that they both enjoyed making things out of wood. Later on, they discovered that they had both married women called Linda, and that they both had one son whose first and middle names were James and Alan. Besides, both brothers had called their dogs by the same name—Toy. As if that wasn’t enough, they also found out that they both took their family holiday at the same place every year.

Story 2

In 1996, a Filipino woman called Mrs. Jimena told other people that her three children could breathe underwater like fish. Mrs. Jimena said that her children had three small holes on the sides of their necks below each ear，and that these were like the gills (鱼鳃) on fish. Mrs. Jimena said that she didn’t know how to swim and that her children were just starting to learn. Her family lives in a mountain village far from the sea.

She was examined by different doctors, but none of them could find out what was wrong with her. Vicky became very upset, and soon stopped reading and writing altogether. Instead she started watching TV all the time. On 27th, September 1995, Vicky was watching her favourite football team, Manchester United, play on television.
