Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? 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.（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. （4）Some people cant read or write, but they have better memories, because they have saved trouble. （5）The best title of this passage is “How to Have a Good Memory”. 4. （8分）阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出符合材料意思的最佳选项。CThe BFG 圆梦巨人is a new film. It is about the Big Friendly Giant (巨人). He lives with nine other bad giants in Giant Country. Every night the nine bad giants eat people, but the BFG doesnt. He only eats vegetables and collects dreams (收集梦想) for children.One day, the BFG meets a nice girl in London. Her name is Sophie. She is 10 years old. Sophie has no parents, so he takes her back to his home. Sophie is not happy at first. She wants to run away. But when she gets to know the BFG, they become (成为) good friends.

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They dont feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.T here is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!（1）The underlined phrase pick up in Paragraph 1may mean _.A . put downB . give upC . pay no attention toD . continue（2）From the passage, we can know_.A . Americans are always generous with their time.B . Americans dont feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.C . Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.D .
