"Yes，" Mama said． They took Xiao Yun to a store in town．
"Can I （3） you？" "A shop assistant asked．
"Our Xiao Yun needs a good coat，" Papa said．
They looked for coats for some time carefully． "A （4） coat!" Xiao Yun cried． "I want the pink coat．" The coat was slippery and shiny inside． In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower．
"I'm afraid the pink coat will only （5） one year，" Mama said．
"And there's no one to pass it on to，" said Papa． Xiao Yun backed away． She wanted to be a flower．
"Xiao Yun!" It was Papa． He came over to （6） ． "You are old enough to know that you can't always have your own way，" he said seriously．

Papa rubbed his chin（下巴）． "The cows can't give milk soon enough，" he said． "（9） how can we let Xiao Yun wear a brown coat when she looks like a flower in this one？"

A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally， while a bad memory as something that cannot be changed． In fact， there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory． Here are some tips（贴士） for you．
◆（1）
We all remember the things we are interested in， and always forget the ones that bore us． This explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results easily but struggle（挣扎） with dates from their history lessons! Develop an active interest in what you want to remember． One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions﹣the more， the better!
◆ Repeat things in chunks（块）．
Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time， for example， remembering a phone number for a few seconds． （2） The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember： 1492178919318483． But look at them in "groups" or "chunks" repeatedly， and it becomes much easier： 1492 1789 1931 8483．
◆Invent a story．
To remember long lists， try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember． In experiments， people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way． When they were tested later， they could remember about 90% of them． （3）
◆Take physical exercise．
Physical exercise is important for your memory， because it increases your heart rate（心率） and sends more oxygen（氧气） to your brain， and that makes your memory work better． （4） As we know， too much pressure is very bad for the memory．
A． Take an interest．
B． Exercise also lowers stress．
C． The test result was really amazing!
D． Another way to improve memory is to get enough rest．
E． Grouping numbers may help you to remember them．
When I was fifteen years old， I became very interested in shopping． After a while being just a
buyer， I wanted to（1） something． I had many things that I no longer needed at home． I knew with the help of my father I could make money． So for months and months I（2） __ myself by selling things on my dad's bank account（账户）．
On July 18th， 2015， I made my own account and began to start my own （3） ． Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around the house wasn't （4） for me， so I decided to expand （拓展）my business by running a re﹣sale shop． I went around to the yard sales and bought things at low prices and sold them at（5） prices to make money．
Last October． I went to a yard sale that was a little bit different． A lady had many nice things
to sell． I went up to her and had a （6） with her． Through the communication， I knew she was jobless at that moment and needed money to feed her family． I thought I could do it better and more quickly for her． So I made a decision to help her out． She looked at me for a while and then said（7） ． After that I took away some of her things and over the next month I made ￥1，500for her! When I gave her the money， she broke down into tears（眼泪） （8） ．
I have never felt so （9） to help someone in my life． I know my skills could be used to help those in need and that even one small act of kindness could （10） ．
