Чтение 8 класс английский-14. Самый маленький человек на свете-I

He would have lived like this – inconspicuously… A little man who sews and sells jute hats. And never left his isolated [ˈaɪsəleɪtɪd] mountain village of Rimkholi (Dang district, Nepal). If he had not been noticed by a random visiting timber merchant. The population of 200 houses is so remote that it lacked the amenities of modern civilization [sɪv(ə)laɪˈzeɪʃn] – neither centralized [ˈsentrəlaɪz] electricity, nor, as a consequence, television. Impressed by the diminutiveness of an adult 72-year-old man, the traveler shared what he saw with the media.

On February 26, 2012, the representative of the Guinness World Book of Records — Craig Glenday – personally went with a team of doctors to the capital of Nepal to record sensational [senˈseɪʃnəl] results. Chandra Bahadur Dangi had a height of 54.6 centimeters with a weight of 12 kilograms.

The baby, who will remain a baby for life, was born the sixth child. In a large peasant family of six brothers and two sisters. Chandra announced that he was born with his childish cry on November 30, 1939. Three of the brothers on growing up also turned out to be short. No higher than 120 centimeters. The rest had the usual average height. Apparently, the unusual gene decided not to share much between relatives. And it get only Chandra to be recognized as the smallest person in the world.

To make a complete impression of the remoteness and primitiveness of the village that held Chandra for all his 72 years, the tiny Nepalese [nepəˈliːz] dwelt without a passport and a birth certificate. Therefore, the date of his birth and other details of his biography [baɪˈɒgrəfɪ] were recorded by the Guinness [ˈgɪnɪs] Book of Records team from the words of the record holder himself.

The villagers are engaged in agriculture, cattle breeding. And traditional folk crafts, as is typical of the hinterland. Despite his small stature, Chandra was able to practice agricultural activities. And helped take care of the herd, and then started his own business. Sewing and selling hats, which he did until his old age.

He never complained about his small stature. A fact to which nature condemned him, and always remained an optimist [ˈɒptɪmɪst]. With that disproportionality [dɪsprəpɔːʃəˈnælɪtɪ], when the head of normal size for an adult is one-third of his height, Chang has enviable health. The biggest thing that could bother him was a cold, which he coped with herbal tinctures and strong drinks.

He was awarded two certificates. One as the smallest, the other as the oldest person of small stature. People do not live long with such pathology.

His only disappointment and regret was that, due to his physiological [ˌfɪziəˈlɒdʒɪkl] characteristics… He was unable to get a wife and offspring.

Having the opportunity to stay only in neighboring villages, as deaf as his native one, Changa desperately dreamed of travelling. And now, having received the recognition of the smallest person in the world! Many roads open up before him! He joins the troupe of the Magical Circus of Samoa. And at the same time visits many European [jʊ(ə)rəˈpɪən], American and Asian [eɪʃn] countries. So he gets acquainted with a man of the polar opposite record to him – the highest on the earth. The Turkish Giant Sultan Kesen has a height of 251 centimeters (although it should be noted that there is also an American Robert Wadlow – 272 centimeters in height).
