Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldnt work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.“Im sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldiers turn. He said, “Im sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.

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.11. The main reason for one is poor memory is that _.A. his father or mother may have a poor memoryB. He does not use his name or legs for some timeC. his memory is not often usedD. he cant read or write12.

Dont learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.D. A good memory comes from more practice.14.

When your father never says _31_ to you when you are a child, it gets more and more difficult for him _32_ (say) those words as he gets _33_ (old). To tell the truth, I could not honestly remember _34_ I had last said those words to him either. I decided to set my ego (自我) aside and make the first move.
