The Clever Man
Kim Peeks, the clever man.
Dear readers,
this is our last story to complete tasks assigned by the lecturer. Our latest
title is a clever man in the world. His name is Kim Peeks. He was born on
November 11, 1951. He has a remarkable memory as can be given from the age of
16-20 months. He actually diagnose FG syndrome. He read books, memorized them
then placed them on the shelf to show that he had finished read them. For him,
the local library is Kim's favorite place in the world.
Kim Peeks
can remember everything that he has been read from the first word until the last
word exactly like a book that have estimate 360,000 words. For him, he can read
a book within ten seconds meanwhile we have to read at least 3 minutes.
He reads the
left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye and will
retain about 98% of it. He took 15 subjects, but he did not know how to solve
math problems. According to an article in The Times newspaper, he could
accurately recall the contents of at least 12,000 books.
In 2008, he
probably had FG syndrome which causes physical anomalies such as hypertonia
(low muscle tone) and macrocephaly (an abnormally large head). On 19 December
2009, he was dead of a heart attack at the age of 58 years.
In
conclusion, we as students want to have a strong memory like him. If we have
memory like him, we can pass the examinations easily. On the whole, we should
emulate the attitude of diligent reading the book to increase our knowledge.
Therefore, we need to make him as a role model to success in the future.
The Iceman
Hi, recently we have read an article titled ice man. It is
an amazing life when people can stay in the coolest air or water in a long
hours without clothes. This news has caught our attention and we want to share
it with you guys.
This guy named Wim Hof. He was born in 1959 and he was from
the Netherlands. He also holds the world record. His superiority is swimming in
the large distances under polar ice, running a marathon barefoot to climbing
the Everest in nothing more than a pair of shorts.
In 2007, he climb Mount Everest with wearing only shorts but
at 6.7 km he failed to reach the summit due to injury in his leg. In 2008, he
broke his previous world's record by staying immersed in ice for 1 hour, 13
minutes and 48 seconds at Guinness World Records. In 2009, he participated in
the marathon in Finland with wearing shorts and reach the finish line with a
time of 5 hours 25 minutes.
Furthermore, in 2010 Wim Hof broke a record in Tokyo,
Japan by standing on ice for 1 hour 52 minutes and 42 seconds. Finally, in 2011
he also ran a full marathon in the Namib Desert without water. The run was
performed under the supervision of Dr. Thijs Eijsvogels.
As the conclusion, what was done by Wim Hof really
impressed us. Most people can take action, such as Wim Hof but for us there
are limits. For us, we can only hold an ice cube in a while because we cannot
withstand the cold of the ice cube. So amazing because he has the ability to
withstand cold very high.
