    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, centering was extended to better interpret pronoulrs and zero-pronouns. It, extended the centering model to have two lists. The Center List holds entities that 'appeared' in the sentence as either an overt pronoun or a zero-pronoun. The Possible Center List holds entities that overtly appeared in the sentence, excluding overt pronouns.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> A very simple implementation showed that 76% of pronouns and zero-pronouns could be interpreted.</Paragraph>
