　　2) This regulation relates only to children under 12.(这一规则仅适用于12岁以下儿童。)

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

　　2) Helen's facial features bore a striking resemblance to her mother's.(海伦的面部特征与她的母亲十分相像。)

　　2) Are you going to the press conference to be held this weekend?(你准备参加本周末举行的记者招待会吗?)

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

　　划线部分是该句的主要成分，forming an integrated image动名词短语做主语，can help做谓语，us to preserve a memory做复合宾语。

　　斜体部分是一个“with + 名词 + 过去分词”的独立结构，做方式状语，修饰动名词短语forming an integrated image.

　　不定式与名词或代词构成复合结构，做动词宾语的现象在英语中很常见，在前几讲中我们也遇到过。再请看几个例句：

　　1) Would you like Tom to go with you?(你愿意汤姆和你一起去吗?)

　　2) He wants you to see him in the afternoon.(他想让你下午去见他。)

　　3) Father encouraged him to study harder.(父亲鼓励他更加努力学习。)
