(1) Reference Time Shift
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In the currentwork, we considered sentences as independent units. The evaluation is also performed on this basis. However, some sentences in a article maybetemporally related. They may share the same reference time which is indicated in a preceding sentence or the event time in one sentence servers as a reference point for the next. How to identify whether a reference time is continued from the preceding sentence or is the same as a omitted speech time, and how the reference times shift should be a good topic in the future work.</Paragraph>
