this is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. they have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.so if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“t”表示，不符合的用 “f”表示。( )1. the main reason for ones poor memory is that his parents have poor memories. ( )2. if you dont use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong. ( )3. a good memory comes from more practice.
