專題特寫 |本集 精彩教學影片(講解老師:Alice & Betty 老師)
Traditionally, Guinness World Records published common information, such as the highest mountain or the oldest person. However, over time, humans and animals have been recognized for an increasing number of unusual talents. It proves that our abilities are as unlimited as our imagination.
One curious human record involves a woman with fingernails that are almost 13 meters long. Others include a man who can squirt milk 279.5 cm from his eye and another man who is capable of lifting a 13-kg weight with his tongue. Some people achieve records due to medical conditions. For example, Garry Turner’s skin can stretch 15.8 cm from his stomach. Also, a family in Mexico has hair covering 98% of their bodies.
Animal accomplishments include a dog that can catch 14 balls with its paws in one minute and a parrot that can open 35 canned drinks in the same amount of time. One cat holds a record for surviving for about 15 years after being born with two faces.
