2.Tom is in front of a group of people.He is blindfolded,but he can still show these people something amazing.The young man clls it"the art of memory".First,the people who are watching him randomly(隨機) choose sixty numbers.After that,a helper reads the number to Tom.Then,after hearing them just once,Tom repeats the numbers in the correct order from memory.He dose this first in the order h heared them.Then,he does it again-backwards!
Tom has a very special kind of memory.He explains in his own words,"It's a kind of memory that is connected to what I see.It means every idea that I learn and everything I read become a part of me.Normally,a person who dosen't have the gift,and who dosen't study memory,often forgets things-even an entire book.Not me."Tom says that with his"gift",he has memorized more than 250books!
Memorizing more than 250books is surprising,but it's not the only surprising thing ahout Tom.He says that he can remember every detail of every day of his life.He also says that he can remember these details from the time he was less than one year old!
Memoryis very difficult to understand.Scientists don't really know how it works yet.Tom's family genes(基因) may hold important information about his memory.
"The most important question,"says neurobiologist(神經(jīng)生物學(xué)家) Dr.Antonio Malgaroli,"is to understand which is from heredity(遺傳),and which is from the environment."
