We usually can't remember what we were doing at a specific time. Those of us with average memories simply forget these 65 . And this is normal. We remember what we need and what we think is important. The rest, we forget.
However, this is not the case for a few people with excellent memories. Kelly Norman is one of
these people. She remembers everything that happened last Saturday, and the Saturday before that.
66 , she remembers almost everything in her life since age11. She remembers that at 12:34 p.

Kelly was about 12 when she began to realize that her memory was perfect. As she grew older, her 68 continued to develop. Today, she might have one of the best memories in the world.
Researchers have studied Kelly for many years. They have some interesting findings. Kelly can remember 69 events on any day in the last 35 years. On the other hand, researchers found that she has difficulty remembering a series of numbers. So her amazing memory only relates to her own life.
People like Kelly have two interesting things in common. Parts of their brains are physically different from the brain of a person with average memory. People like Kelly can't stop thinking about the past. They keep diaries. They read old newspapers. In other words, they work hard to remember the past.
Remembering everything has its advantages. Yet it can also cause 70 . Kelly says, "I remember good and that is very comforting. But I also remember bad-and every bad choice. ""And I don't give myself a break…I am still thinking about my mistakes. "She concludes, "Most people think I have a gift, but I don't think so. ”

There are hundreds of restaurants in every big city. They often serve similar food at similar prices-so how do they a 71 customers Most restaurants try to offer good food and great service-and they hope customers come back
again and again. But some restaurants offer a gimmick( 花 招 ). It's something u 72 to make
their restaurant different from all the others.
Sometimes the gimmick is the restaurant's l 73 . El Diablo is a Spanish restaurant on a volcano(火山). The cooks use heat from the volcano to cook the food. Or how about an underwater restaurant Or you can go to the other extreme and choose Dinner in the Sky. Here, customers enjoy their meal at a table 50 metres in the air. The company has restaurants in 45 different countries. It's an amazing experience-but don't d 74 your knife or fork!The people below will be in danger. At Ithaa. a restaurant in the Maldives, you can have dinner five metres below the
Indian Ocean and watch sharks and turtles while you eat.
People often complain about the seats in planes. There isn't enough space. They don't sit c
75 . So surely a restaurant inside a plane is a bad idea. Well maybe not. In a restaurant in Ghana, you can have lunch or dinner inside an old plane. The waiter brings your food and drink on a trolley!Other restaurants offer extra comfort. At the Hammock Cafe in Sri Lanka, there are hammocks( 吊 床 )instead of c 76 . And in another restaurant in Miami. Florida, there are only beds. On each bed there is a candle and a tray.
People go to restaurants to eat, chat with their friends and relax. But some restaurants ask their customers to work for their food. Zauo is a popular restaurant in Tokyo, Japan. It is a fish restaurant, but the customers do not o 77 their fish from the menu-they have to catch it. Inside the restaurant, all of the tables are on a boat, with water all around. There are different fish in different parts of the water. They choose their fish and then try to catch it!
