这一段有些医学知识,很难懂.
Layne and Shauna Johnson's achievements—individually and collectively—are all the more powerful and poignant when you consider that both have Down's syndrome.Down's syndrome is a condition caused by a genetic malfunction.The condition causes individuals to share an uncanny resemblance to one another and a ceiling on intellectual potential.It also causes IQ to peak at around seventy-five,severely limiting capability and ability-- or so doctors thought.When Layne was born,physicians recommended that his parents place him in an institution （the majority of which did little more than offer physical caretaking）.The doctors' advice was,"Get on with your lives and forget that this child was ever born." Instead,his parents made the most of their lives,which included parenting Layne,expecting him to master the world in which he lived and helping him to achieve that mastery.Shauna's parents obviously did likewise.

Answer 1

Layne和Shauna Johnson的成就----个别地和共同地----都是更强烈和悲痛的,当你知道他们都患有唐氏综合病症.唐氏综合病症是一种由遗传故障引起的情况.这种情况使一个人把离奇的类似之处传给其他人而且有一种最高可以到达潜在智力的程度.他也可以使智商在75左右达到顶点,严格限制着能力和才干---医生这样想.当Layne出生时,医师们建议他们的父母把他放在公共机构里(大多数这种机构最多只能提供身体照管).医生的建议是,"继续过你们的生活,忘记这个孩子曾经出生过吧".他的父母没有这么做,而是在他们大部分的生命里照顾Layne,包括养育他,希望他能够征服他生活在的世界,帮助他完成这种掌握.很明显Shauna的父母也是这样做的.
