If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. 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. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they still have to remember things. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory has been exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do. Someone can't have a good memory if __________.
| A．he can't read or write |
| B．he doesn't use his memory |
| C．his parents haven't a good memory |
| D．he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time |
If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _________.
| A．you can't use them any more |
| B．they will become stronger |
| C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again |
| D．they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again |
Which of the following is TRUE?
| A．Your memory works in different way as your arms or legs. |
| B．Your memory becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice. |
| C．Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory. |
| D．A good memory comes from one’s parents. |
Few people know that it is ________ if a friend has a poor memory.
| A．his own fault | B．his parents' fault |
| C．his teachers' fault | D．nobody's fault |
In the passage, the writer wants to tell us to practice _________.
| A．using our arms or legs very often |
| B．reading and writing as much as we can |
| C．remembering things to improve our memory |

IMAGINE a life without arms or legs! You can’t hold anyone in your arms. You can’t walk anywhere with your feet. How would you last a day like that? Would you at yourself in the mirror like Nick Vujicic, the 29-year-old Australian?
Nick was born without limbs（四肢）, so life was not for him. At school many students played jokes on him he looked different from everyone else. He was refused to be their friends, so he always felt . However, he faced that bravely. He learned to type and write with two toes（脚趾）when he was six, and he could surf the Internet and play golf. In university, he achieved great success and was among the excellent students in the studies. And he decided on to do later in his life—to encourage others to work hard for their dreams.
Now Nick is one of the most popular in the world. He travels to many countries and gives speeches about his story difficulties. “Living life fully is about looking at what you have, not what you ,” he said. His story encourages millions of people.
“I tell people to keep on getting up when they and to always love themselves,” he said. “If I can encourage just one person, then my job in this life is done.”
