)memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. if you have the wish and really make a conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. but even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. one morning last week, for example, i got up and found that i had left the front door unlocked all night, yet i clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.memory “tricks” work the other way as well. once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. one day last month, for example, i was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly i realized that i had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.we always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by peoples forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones. unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. there are times when “tricks” of our memory can cause us great trouble.64. if you want to have a good memory, you should _. a. force yourself to remember things b. make a conscious effort of practice and exercisec. never stop learning d. try hard to remember things65. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. one night the writer forgot to lock the front door. b. one night the writer forgot having locked the front door.c. the

about absent-mindedness of professorsb. we dont want to know anything more about absent-mindedness of professorsc. we will never get tired of listening to new stories about absent-mindednessd. absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people( d ) whether youre headed to another country for business or pleasure, it is likely that you need to keep in touch with family
