At school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.( )51.Some people can easily learn many things by heart because _.6A. they always sleep very well B. they often eat good foodC. they read a lot of books D. they have very good memories( )52.Everybody learns his mother language _.A. at the age of six B. when he is a small childC. after he goes to school D. when he can read and write( )53.Before a child can speak, he must _.A. read and write B. make sentencesC. hear and remember the sounds D. think hard( )54.At school the pupil cant learn a foreign language well because _.A. they have no good memories B. they have too much time for itC. they have no recorders D. they are busy with other subjects来( )55.Your memory will become better and better _.A. if you have lots of good food B. if you do more and more exercisesC . if you get up early D. if you do morning exercises every day五、词汇。每题 1 分，共 10 分。 A.根据句子意思以及汉语提示写出所缺单词。56.
