Cooley 100 faces and names to memorize and she can remember 70 of them
15 minutes later. Give her 4,000 numbers or (2) words and she'll repeat them better than most people.
It's the same with a 54-line poem. So, why does Tatiana Cooley need sticky notes?
She says she's incredibly (3) ! She recently defeated 16 challengers to keep her memory champion title,
but when asked how many brothers and sisters she has, she replied, "Six…er…seven...er six."

thing is different from remembering things on a daily basis. She says her memorizing is "not on the same
level as remembering to call people."

it. For association, she makes up a story to (6) random numbers and words.
Tatiana noticed that her ability to memorize was better than average when she was studying in college. She
found that taking (7) notes was enough to prepare for tests. She didn't have to do anything else.

educational programs on TV when she was growing up. They played games to help her memory and
encouraged her to read and learn languages. She reads in PortugueseSpanish, and French. She thinks (9)
is fun. She says, "I've always loved to learn. I've been like a sponge my whole life."

of them to be the queen. He called the daughters to him and said, “My dear children, I love all
three of you (2) dearly and for a long time I have not known which one of you to name as queen.
Now I have decided. The one who brings me a birthday present which is most necessary to
human life shall be queen. Go and make your plans.”
The king‟s birthday (3) arrived. The two oldest daughters brought him presents that were
very necessary, but were also very, very expensive. However, the youngest daughter only
brought him a small (4) pile of salt. When the king saw her present, he became very angry. He
told the daughter to leave the castle and never come back.
The daughter left her father‟s castle. She had nowhere to go. She (5) wandered in the
forest and was very hungry and cold. As she walked along one day, a prince saw her and fell in
love with her at once. She agreed to marry him and a great party was planned at the prince‟s
castle. The king was invited, but he did not know that the (6) bride was his daughter.
Well, the girl told the cook to make all the (7) dishes for the party with no salt. At the
wedding, everyone started eating and they found that the food had no taste. One (8) guest said,
“There is no salt in the meat.” Then everyone started saying, “There is no salt in the meat.”
Then, the king said very sadly, “(9) Truly, I now know how necessary salt is. But, because
I didn‟t know that before, I sent my own daughter away and I will never see her again.”
When the daughter heard this, she went to the king and made herself (10) known. They all
lived happily ever after.

later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot during
his first year in office (1881) by a man
o whom he wouldn‟t give a job. While in his second term of office (1901),
William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Exposition in
Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking
hands with some of the guests.
ohn F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his
election. Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office.
Although it was never proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D.
Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944), the only man to
serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of the
illness in 1945. Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years
later, suffered an assassination attempt but did not succumb to the assassin‟s
bullets. He was the first to break the long chain of unfortunate events. Will the
candidate in the election of 2020 also be as lucky? 28 |
