You Can Be a World Memory Champion! Every year, people with amazing memory skills compete in an event called the World Memory Championships. The tasks require huge powers of memory retention： remembering the order of 52 cards in a deck （副）； memorizing the names of 110 people after looking at their pictures； and other tasks. Completing any of these tasks may not seem easy for the normal person, but scientific proof seems to show that even someone with normal skills can, through training, improve his or her memory skills and become a memory champion. One memory champion explained his methods of recalling the order of the cards in a deck. Firstly, he connected a person, an action and a thing with each card. For example,the king of hearts is Elvis Presley,eating, a chocolate sandwich. The three of spades （ 黑 桃 ） is Rocky Balboa,boxing,Madison Square Garden. The ten of hearts is William Shakespeare, writing Hamlet, a broken pen. Take a person from the first card, an action from the second card, and a thing from the third card so that any group of three cards creates a vivid （生动的） image that is easier to recall. For example： king-ten-three becomes Elvis Presley writing Hamlet in Madison Square Garden - a memorable image. Still, even having created images for each group of three cards, it is difficult to keep them in order. This is done using the loci method,or what some call a "Memory Palace" - a term created by Frances Yates in his 1966 book The Art of Memory - which is a simple but effective method discovered by the ancient Greeks. But are there people with naturally amazing memories？ The winner of the 2011 World Memory Championships was 21-year-old Chinese Wang Feng. He said he had a "normal memory as a child," and no special talent except for the hard work and attention to detail. Although many still think that people have either good or bad memories from birth,that need not be true. By using the methods of grouping, connecting with vivid images, and the loci method, we can all improve our memories. Who knows - you might even become the next World Memory Champion! 【小题】According to Paragraph 2， king-ten-three can create an image of ______ .
