①These days, people with serious heart problems can have a heart transplant - in other words, another heart is put into their body to replace the heart with problems.

②Christiaan Barnard was the surgeon (外科医生) who performed the first human heart transplant operation. Barnard was born in 1922. in his native South Africa. He studied medicine at the University of Cape Town and graduated in 1953. Then he went to the USA and studied at the University of Minnesota. He returned to the University of Cape Town in 1958 to teach surgery. No one knew very much about him- but in 1967, he became world-famous.

③On 3 December. Barnard transferred the heart of a 25-year-old woman into the body of Louis Washkansky, a 55-year-old grocer. Unfortunately, Washkansky died 18 days later. Barnard did a second transplant, on 2 January 1968. for a man called Philip Blaiberg - this was a lot more successful. as Blaiberg lived for over 1 8 months after the operation.

④Barnard was not the usual picture of a surgeon. Young and handsome. he spent as much time in nightclubs as he did in operation rooms. He met the Pope（教皇）in Rome and President Lyndon Johnson in the USA. He knew many beautiful film stars of the time, but all three of his marriages failed. He also performed free surgery on hundreds of very sick people

Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “How would you like to be me for a day?” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.

When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work.

Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t rely on copying what others are doing.”

When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.
