When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he doesn’t give it enough chance（机会）to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault.（过失）But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame（被责备）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 bette r memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things. They cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memories are the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, please learn form the people: practise remembering.( )6、If you don’t use your arms or legs for some time they will become______.A strongB weakC longD short( )7 .Your memory, too, will become _____ if you don’t give enough chancefor practice.A strongB weakC poorD short( )8 .You should _____if you want to have a better memory.A not learn how to read or writeB keep your memory in practiceC doing nothingD learn how to read and write( )9 A good memory comes form ______.A practiceB booksC writingD your parents( )10.
