Can you imagine being able to remember every
single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book? That's1 Becky's life is like.
Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article
which mentioned that it was2 for people to 3 the details of their life in the first three
years. "What 4!" she thought, because
she could5 remember her life all the way back to when she
was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver's seat of their
car and6 her down for a photo.
But it wasn't nonsense. She was just one of only
80 known people7 a mysterious condition called HSAM. Becky's

where reporter Allison 9 her ability by asking her about her favorite
book series, Harry Potter. Allison would pick up a 10 and open a page and read her a line. 11 Becky would name the book, chapter number,
chapter name and could recite every word12 Allison told her to stop.
Being able to remember every little 13 is great, but as every HSAM sufferer will tell
you, it's also14to deal with it. We always 15 things to get over sad experiences in our
lives, but it's something that people like Becky can't do. Even walking on the
street and lightly16 somebody can bring back 17 memories from Becky's childhood. Also, like
Becky, people with HSAM 18 do well in school, because they have problems
picking up the important information from what they've learnt. Becky's great
brain could help scientists find a19for terrible mental
illnesses like Alzheimer. Her condition could hold the secret to treating or
even20Alzheimer.
