Only around 60 people in the world have been diagnosed with HSAM so far, Curiosity reports. Pasternak, now 23, is __7__ the youngest person with HSAM. Give her any date between 2005 and present day, and she will tell you what __8__ of the week it was and everything she did that day in extraordinary __9__.
__10__ these habits of people with an impressive memory, and you could __11__ your own retention (保留,保持). __12__, researchers still don't understand exactly what gives certain people this amazing __13__. People who have HSAM have different __14__ of recalling dates. Pasternak describes her memory like a Candy Land board. In her __15__ she sees each month as a different __16__ square; June is green, August is golden yellow, November is dark red. The __17__ connect to form a path, __18__ back to February 2005, when she had her first HSAM memory.
Let's face it—having a perfect memory sounds pretty __19__. But if you're not blessed with a foolproof recall, you can always __20__ like a memory champion with these tricks to getting a superhuman memory.

第二段最后一句:It is extremely fulfilling to provide my expertise when they otherwise would not have staff for it.

分析:这是一个主从复合句。It作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to provide my expertise; when引导时间状语从句。
