    I read some stories about amazing people today. Here I'd like to share something
interesting with you. Xie Qiuping, a Chinese woman, has the longest hair in the world.
Her hair is 5,085 meters long! How amazing! Before I got to know this, I thought my hair
was quite long. It is nearly 50cm long. I don't know how she washes her hair.
    The tallest man in the world lived in the USA. His name was Robert Pershing Wadlow.
He was 2.72 metres tall. I want to know if he lived in a flat like mine, how could he go
into the room? The tallest man died in 1940.
    There is a man in France called Michael Lotito. He eats such items as metal (金属),
glass and rubber. He even once ate a model plane! How strange! I don't think metal is as
tasty (美味的) as sweets or chocolates.
