She could probably 1 write an encyclopaedia on her own, without the help of anyone else! When she takes part in quizzes (智力游戏), she always wins 2. She knows the answers to all the questions and never gets anything wrong. "How do you know so many things?" Mary asked her.
P2 "There are two reasons," she replied 3. "First, I never forget 4 anything I read or hear. All the knowledge I get from books or television programmes is stored inside my brain 5. I particularly (尤其) like reading life stories, so I know a lot about many famous 6 people. Second, I have had a long and interesting 7 life. I have done many different things. After I left school, I became a nurse and learnt a lot about health 8 and medicine. Then I married your grandfather. He was a naturalist (自然学家) to study plants 9 and animals, so his job was more interesting than mine. He often took me to many different parts of the world and I travelled around 10 many countries. Then my sons — your father and his two brothers — were born. They grew up and liked all kinds of sports, so I learnt the rules of many sports from them."
