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(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), 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 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: Practice remembering.1.

Learn From the People（四）Japanese students work very bard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(压力) from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天赋的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents serif their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.1. “Dropouts” are those who _.A. make troubles in and out of schoolsB. go about or stay home instead of being at schoolC. try hard but always fails in the examsD. lose hope and give up some of their subjects2.

The Pressures on the Students in Japan Part Two 完形填空I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the 1 celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not 2 much from the war where, though, like most children of my age, I often saw 3 houses in the streets and the very big 4 lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become 5 to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously, 6 had been better, though I was too young to understand why, 7 there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had 8 heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very 9 to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now 10 V-Day was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting 11 and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and 12 myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.It was May and still broad 13 when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to 14 the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street.
