I come from a large family. My parents both have many brothers and sisters. When I was a boy, during late July, my family would hold a reunion (聚会) every year. Usually more than 50 family members would attend the party.
The reunion would take place in a large public park in the late afternoon because it wasn't too hot at that time. Each family would bring their own food to eat. Usually each family had a special dish that would be shared. Some families would bring potato salad while others would bring a dessert or self-made special drinks. There was always more than enough food.
Almost everyone would play games. Younger people played softball, football, volleyball and so on. However, Uncle Sam always taught Cousin Chris and me to play badminton. CMs and I went to the same school and we kept beating other players and won several state games. The older family members would sit under a tree and watch the games or just sit around and talk. Everyone enjoyed himself / herself because it was a good chance to catch up on what his / her relatives were doing that year.
Those family reunions are the best memories I have of my childhood. Today it seems that everyone is too busy to hold or attend family reunions. Now, no matter how nostalgic I feel about those family reunions, those memories remain very clear in my mind.

根据短文内容．判断下列各句正（T)、误(F)。
Have you ever been annoyed with yourself when you forget something important? Maybe you think you have a bad memory, Do you know your memory, can be developed? Here are some ways for you to have a try.
★ Be positive. Do not tell yourself your memory is bad, or your mind will believe it and you won't remember things easily. If you think you can, then you can.
★Relax yourself. People are too nervous to remember things well. Relaxing will help you a lot. Take deep breathe(深呼吸)and you can remember things easily.
★Think more. Things you know may help you to remember something new. For example, when you remember the word "classroom", think of the old words "class" and "room", it will help you remember quickly.
★ Do more practice. Like your body, memory can be improved through exercise. The more times you practice, the more easily you will remember something.
★ Eat healthy feed. Healthy eating can improve your memory. It is reported that fish is good for improving memory, so try to eat more fish from now on.An active attitude is good for you to improve your memory.
Relaxing is not useful for people to develop memory.
Something you already know may help you remember what you are learning.
Memory can' t be improved by practicing.
If you want to have a better memory, a healthy eating habit is very important.
