Book Review 2-06 “The Heart”

In this book, some things about heart are introduced. For example, the role, the place and the shape ect. Heart is important organ of human. It sends blood from head to foot. Children’s heart is the size of a fist. Adult’s heart is twice the size of a fist. And, whale’s heart is the size of a small car. I was surprised at the fact. I had many things that I knew for the first time when I read this book. Heart send blood a distance of 19,000 km.
And heart beats 10,000 times in a day, that is to say as 35 million times as in a year.


My heart beats everyday while I stay up and sleep. I think the fact is great. Recently, I lacking in exercise. But after I read this book, I think I must exercise for heart. And because smoking tasks heart, I never smoke.
