Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆) 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 (机会) 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 to us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be to blame (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, they have to remember the things. Since they cannot write them down in a small notebook, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories. Therefore, their memory is being exercised the whole time. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people：practise remembering things as other people do. （1）Someone cant have a good memory if _. A . he cant read or writeB . he doesnt use his memoryC . his parents dont have a good memoryD . he doesnt use his arms or legs for some time（2）If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _.

They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria(自助餐厅). The chickens ran all around the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers (羽毛) were flying everywhere. Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags(标签) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No. 1, 2, 3 and 5. Where was chicken No. 4? The teachers looked and looked. They couldnt find another chicken. After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them. There were only four chickens in the first place! They had been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.
