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”. 2. （10分）阅读理解Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine.
