in the blanks with proper words.

We have heard about people who have special memories. Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every single d 1. of all the events in her daily life.

Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory(超級(jí)自傳體記憶癥). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would f 2. within days—as if it had happened just moments ago.

“I remember my mum placing me in the driver’s seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was

twelve years old,” she said. “That’s my e 3. memory. I remember every day since then. I can’t tell all the dates e 4. because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that day, what the weather was like and so on.”

Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she’s eating something unpleasant, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so 5.p that she can nearly “taste” it.

However, there are times when her memories prove to be painful as it’s not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再體驗(yàn)) memories, the feelings r 6. ,too.” Rebecca said. “For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents’ house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”

“At night, I have to sleep with the r 7. and a soft light on,” she added. “If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all those memories and I can’t sleep.”
