We each have a memory(记忆力).That is why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart ,but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds，remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day, in school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

Moms take care of their children life and dads bring home food and make the family
rules. These are the roles moms and dads fall into when they become parents and
it’s common among all cultures. But times change and parents’ roles seem to be
changing, too. More women are bringing home food by having full-time jobs and
men are taking care of their children at home.
Chinese TV show Where Are We Going, Dad? provides a closer look at the changing roles of dads in modern family life. The show follows the adventures of five celebrity（明星）dads who take trips with their young children (aged 4 to 6) and try to complete a set of tasks. It shows how young dads are trying hard to find the best way to raise their children and keep a closer relationship with them. Young dads no longer want to be cold.
Psychologists（心理学家）say that a strong fatherly influence is important in a ch ild’s development. Fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety. A child learns that if something goes wrong, he or she can depend on dad to help fix it. The psychologists also say that without a dad, a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.
A mother’s love is important, and so is a father’s love. Chen Mo, a psychology professor says,“It takes both parents to raise a child. Children have different needs at different ages and this needs to be considered by both parents.”
( ) 1. What are the common roles of moms and dads in all cultures? ______
A. Moms take care of their children and dads bring home food and make the family rules.
B. Moms bring home food by having full-time jobs and dads take care of their children at home.
C. Both parents take care of their children at home.
D. Both parents go out to work, while grandparents take care of their children at home
( ) 2. What are the young dads trying to do in the show?
A. They are trying hard to find the best way to cook some delicious food for their children.
B. They are trying to complete a set of tasks with their kids and keep a closer relationship with them.
C. They are trying to make more money.
D. They are trying to be cold to their kids.
( ) 3. Why is a strong fatherly influence import ant in a child’s development?
A. Fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety.
B. If something goes wrong, a child can depend on dad to help fix it.
C. With a dad, a child can do better in school work.
