Thats why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。1、Some people can easily learn many things by heart because .Athey always sleep very well Bthey often eat good foodCthey read a lot of books Dthey have very good memories2、Everybody learns his mother language .Aat the age of six Bwhen he is a small childCafter he goes to school Dwhen he can read and write3、Before a child can speak, he must .Aread and write Bmake sentences Chear and remember the sounds Dthink hard4、In school the pupils cant learn a foreign language well because .Athey have no good memories Bthey have no recordersCthey have too much time for it Dthey are busy with other subjects5、Your memory will become better and better .Aif you have plenty of good food Bif you do more and more exercisesCif you do morning exercises every day Dif you get up early五、We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers.

Ive always wanted one like that.”What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, “Theres a long line of cars behind. Why dont they overtake（超车）?”Just at that time a police car did overtake.
