Non-identical twins come into being when the mother 6 two separate eggs at the same time, both of 7 grow to form babies. 8 case the twins look like ordinary brothers and sisters and are easy to tell one from 9 .

  In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some 10 into twins in the USA.He invited many 11 of identical twins to the university and asked them to 12 a week of tests. He was particularly 13 adopted (被收养的) twins who had been separated at birth. He 14 give the twins different kinds of tests to 15 their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory (记忆), 16 they saw and heard different things, and so on. 17 he found separate twins preferred clothes of the same color.

Are you a social butterfly, or do you prefer being at the edge of a group of friends? Either way, your genes and evolution may play a major  1  , US researchers reported on Monday.
