With the help of 3D printing technology, doctors in Shanghai have separated three-month-old twin sisters who were conjoined at the hip. The twins, born in east China&`&s Jiangxi Province, were connected by soft tissues at the lower spine. They had mostly separate digestive systems but shared one lower bowel. After a five hour operation in the Children&`&s Hospital of Fudan University, the twins were separated, and had their organs and muscles reconstructed. Doctors used 3D printing to build two models simulating the structure of the twins&`& connected parts, which helped them better understand case. Since 2000, doctors at the hospital have successfully separated seven pairs of conjoined twins. This is NEWS Plus Special English. Nine people have been detained in Jiangxi Province, east China, for posing as other students and sitting the "Gaokao", or college entrance exam. Local police said one of the suspects, 20-year-old surnamed Peng, is a college student in Wuhan, central China&`&s Hubei Province. Peng has confessed to the police and provided the information of five other substitute exam sitters. Peng and the other substitutes were organized by another suspect surnamed Zhao who hails from Shandong Province in east China. Zhao arranged accommodation for Peng and the others and supplied the exam passes. The scam was exposed by a reporter who had gone undercover as an exam substitute. The first suspect was caught on the first day of the exam. Over 9.4 million high school students sat for the Gaokao from June 7 to 9. Public security authorities across the country were working to clamp down on cheating activities including the distribution of wireless devices, and the practice of substitute exam sitters.

The new programs also aim to improve service standards for overseas personnel during their entry, transit and residing in Shanghai. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I&`&m Liu Yan in Beijing. Chinese scientists have completed sequencing the genome of the first case of imported Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, and found no evidence of variation that makes the virus more contagious. The genome map of the virus shows high homology with the MERS virus detected in the Middle East. Scientists believe the strain originated in Saudi Arabia. The result of the sequencing has been uploaded to GenBank at National Center for Biotechnology Information in the United States. By testing and comparing genome sequence of different strains, scientists may find effective measures to prevent the spread of the disease, which has a fatality rate of 40 percent.
