Superheroes first caught our attention in the 1930s when Superman and Batman appeared in American comic books, and we’ve been crazy about them ever since. But have you ever stopped to think whether the superman really exists(存在)?
Wim discovered his super power one day after saving a man from a frozen lake. Since then, he’s puzzled scientists with his super ability to bear the freezing temperature. Using breathing skills and a strong mental focus, he’s learned to control his body temperature. For his 2011 Guinness World Record he stayed in ice for nearly two hours. He’s also climbed to Mount Everest in just his shorts and run a desert marathon(马拉松赛跑)without a drop of water.
In the real world, there’re some blind people who can use echo-location skills to see the world around them, just like bats. By making noises with their mouths or by snapping their fingers, they can interpret(领会)the sound waves made back by nearby objects. Daniel, who lost his sight because of cancer as a baby, has taught himself the skills and shared his knowledge with hundreds of blind people worldwide. This has enabled them to run, hike, play football and go skateboarding, etc.
Dean can run forever. He regularly pushes his mind and body to the limits-running non-stop without sleep for 350 miles or completing 50 marathons in 50 days. He’s also run 135 miles non-stop across Death Valley around 49℃ and to the South Pole, where temperatures fell to -40℃.
Alain is one of the best rock climbers worldwide. Some of his tallest climbs include the Sydney Tower and the Eiffel Tower. Unbelievably strong both mentally and physically, Alain is famous for his free solo climbing, climbing tall buildings without ropes—just with his arms, legs and a bag of chalks.
Some of the above people are self-taught and have gained their skills with years of training. Others are born with unusual physical characters, leaving scientists confused. One thing is for sure—the superman certainly exists.
