  2. 2 6 10 Science ▶Reading ComprehensionⅠ Twins The Gemini twins of the third astrological sign in the Zodiac were twin brothers, Castor and Pollux, in Greek mythology. In Roman myths, Romulus and Remus were also twin brothers and founders of Rome. In Norse legends, Freyr, the honored god of fertility, was Freyja’s twin brother. Freyja was the goddess of love and beauty, and Queen of the Valkyries. Since the appearance of twins in mythology, many twins have been born in the real world. One in 80 pregnancies around the world produces twins. Identical twins occur about once in every 250 pregnancies. In every 1,000 pregnancies, between six and 14 result in male twins. Twins make up about 1.9 percent of the world population. Identical twins are 0.2 percent of the total population and 8 percent of the twin population. The Yoruba people of Nigeria have the highest rate of twinning in the world. Identical twins look alike. They also share similar attitudes and feelings. Studies show that identical twins have IQs that are 85 percent alike. Fraternal twins sometimes don’t look alike. Many fraternal twins are boy-girl twins. They are about 60 percent similar for IQ. Many interesting things happen to twins. There is even a yearly twins festival. Twins Day Festival takes place on the first weekend of August each year. It was held on Aug. 6-8 this year.
