They sold these beaver furs to men from France. In the 1600s and 1700s. People in France wanted beaver furs for coats and hats. Other countries wanted these furs, too. Wearing a beaver fur hat became a sign. It said, “Look at this man! This man is rich!”In the 1800s, men in this country began to wear beaver hats. They, too, wanted to wear the sign, “Look at those men! They are rich!”Soon it was hard to find beavers. To get more beaver furs, traders had to move West. Traders began to explore this new country. They came back with wonderful stories about the new land. Before long, many people wanted to go West to live.Where people go, towns grow, Soon there were new towns in the West.

The main idea of the whole story is that_. A. traders carried signs for rich men B. the search for beavers helped the West to grow C. many wonderful stories were told about the West D. the beavers were very foolish B We each have a memory（记忆力）. Thats why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In 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.（ ）39Some people can easily learn many things by heart because .Athey always sleep very wellBthey often eat good foodCthey read a lot of booksDthey have very good memories（ ）40Everybody learns his mother language .Aat the age of sixBwhen he is a small childCafter he goes to schoolDwhen he can read and write（ ）41Before a child can speak, he must .Aread and writeBmake sentencesChear and remember the soundsDthink hard（ ）42In school the pupils cant learn a foreign language well because .Athey have no good memoriesBthey have no recordersCthey have too much time for itDthey are busy with other subjectsCThe aim(目的) of students who came to school is to study.

If it is not well understood，write it down and ask our teachers or our parents，or friends.
