📖 題組：
On average Americans chew about 300 sticks of gum per person a year. Why is chewing gum so popular? Some people say that it not only helps you relax but also helps you stay awake. Others chew gum after a meal to have fresh breath. It can help fight tooth decay as well. But few people know that there is an even better reason for chewing gum—it can improve memory! In an experiment, the scientists divided 75 people into three groups. One third chewed real gum, one third chewed imaginary gum, and the last third didn’t chew anything. Then, each group was given a lot of different memory tests. The results were very interesting. The people with real gum did better than those with imaginary gum, and the latter did better than those who didn’t have any gum at all. How does chewing gum help memory? One possible reason is that when people chew, there is more activity in an area of the brain that is important for memory. Another possible reason is that when people chew, their heart beats faster so more oxygen goes to the brain. So, do you have an exam coming up? Start chewing now!

如果在一個句子裡，我先提到了一種水果，接著又提到了另一種水果，隨後我想針對『後面提到的那一個』補充說明，但在不重複名字的前提下，我該如何用順序的概念來定位它呢？

代名詞的精確指涉
太棒了！你能準確找出這個代名詞所代表的對象，顯示你在閱讀長句子時，對於邏輯層次與資訊鏈結的掌握非常敏銳。在英文寫作中，為了避免文字重複並保持流暢，當作者在同一個語境中提到兩個對象（A 與 B）後，常會習慣性地使用 the former 指稱前者（A），並用 the latter 指稱後者（B）。
