第二节 概要写作（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
According to a study published in the journal Neuron,memory champions aren't all that different to us.People with an average memory can greatly improve their memory ability by using what's known as the “mind palace” method.
In order to do this,you need to picture a place you're familiar with,such as your living room.Then,you have to remember this place in as much detail as possible as this is your own mind palace.Suppose you want to remember a shopping list.You can start by spreading out all the items around your living room in your mind.This means each item on your list is connected with a remembered place in your living room.You travel to that remembered place as you recall the list.
To explore the effects of this method on the brain,researchers gathered 51 participants with average memory levels and no previous memory training.After 40 days of daily 30-minute training,participants doubled the amount of words they could remember-they went from recalling an average of 26 words out of 72,to an impressive 62.Four months later,even without continued training,their recall performance remained high.
In addition,the training also affects the way our brain cells connect.After training,the way that the participants' brain cells connect began to be like those of memory champions compared to scans taken before training. Researchers believe this could be responsible for their increased memory.
But what makes this research so fascinating is that it seems to prove that the talent to store things in your mind isn't determined by genes.The research found there was no difference in brain structure between memory champions and normal people,which means memory champions are not born with different brains.
It's clear that more studies are needed to find out what's going on here,but the \your best bet to never forget an important name,date or appointment ever again.
