It was nearly dark; the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
“What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?”, his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still went ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter. You are only 14 years old after all. You still have another chance.” his mother said. “But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road.” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet.” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son. In some cases, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.”
It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery is on the way.

Sometimes we may forget something easily. Don’t worry. If you want to have a good memory, please follow me. Here is some advice on how to improve your memory.
My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it regularly. After you learned the material, you need to review it right away, then two days later, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. (3)After a month, you will find that you can remember the material easily.
My second advice is to mark the important parts of your book. This will help you in two ways. It will help you concentrate on (专注于) the most important parts. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Besides, this will make your review easier. When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important parts at once. In this way, you needn’t read every word again.
Another piece of advice is to review at a proper time. One good time for memorizing information is in the evening. Review what you have learned before going to bed. It will be kept in your mind deeply. The other good time is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear. (4)So it’s easy to memorize the important information in the morning. Remember all the advice above, and your memory will be better and better.A．根据短文内容回答下列问题。
