　　10. Association refers to taking the material we want to remember and relating it tosomething we remember accurately.

　　2) The numbers in my article refer to the footnotes.(我文章中的數(shù)目字指的是注腳。)

　　3) The author referred to his grandfather several times in his story.(作者在他的故事中幾次提到他的祖父。)

　　2) This regulation relates only to children under 12.(這一規(guī)則僅適用于12歲以下兒童。)

　　11. Research has shown striking improvements in many types of memory tasks when people are asked to visualize the items to be remembered.

　　striking在句子中做形容詞用，意思是“顯著的，引人注目的”，請看例句：

　　1) They made a striking commercial success within 5 years.(在5年的時間里，他們在商業(yè)上取得了驚人的成功。)

　　2) Helen's facial features bore a striking resemblance to her mother's.(海倫的面部特征與她的母親十分相像。)

　　3) I am not sure whether he can make it this time. I just feel he has a striking lack of confidence.(我不能確定他這次能否成功，其只是覺得他明顯信心不足。)

　　to be remembered不定式的被動形式做定語，修飾the items.請看例句：

　　2) Are you going to the press conference to be held this weekend?(你準備參加本周末舉行的記者招待會嗎?)

　　3) This was the first project to be designed John's brother. (這是約翰的哥哥設計的第一個工程。)

　　12. In one study， subjects in one group were asked to learn some words using imagery， while the second group used repetition to learn the words.

　　subject在本句中做名詞用，意思是“受試者，實驗對象”。Subject這個詞的詞義很多，請看例句，注意subject的詞義：

　　1) The subject of today's discussion is “Population and Education”。(今天討論的題目是“人口與教育”。)

　　4) The child is very subject to coughs.(這孩子動不動就咳嗽。)

　　using imagery分詞做狀語，表示方式，請看例句：

　　1) They stood there waiting for the bus.

　　2) She had to work standing up.

　　13. Thus forming an integrated image with all the information placed in a single mental picture can help us to preserve a memory.

　　劃線部分是該句的主要成分，forming an integrated image動名詞短語做主語，can help做謂語，us to preserve a memory做復合賓語。

　　斜體部分是一個“with + 名詞 + 過去分詞”的獨立結構，做方式狀語，修飾動名詞短語forming an integrated image.

　　不定式與名詞或代詞構成復合結構，做動詞賓語的現(xiàn)象在英語中很常見，在前幾講中我們也遇到過。再請看幾個例句：

　　1) Would you like Tom to go with you?(你愿意湯姆和你一起去嗎?)

　　2) He wants you to see him in the afternoon.(他想讓你下午去見他。)

　　3) Father encouraged him to study harder.(父親鼓勵他更加努力學習。)

　　“with + 名詞 + 過去分詞”的獨立結構在英語中也很常見，請看例句：

　　2) Standing there is a torture to her， with so many eyes fixed on her.(這么多人注視著她，于她而言，站在那兒是一種折磨。)
