B
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak (not strong). 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(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), 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 better 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 memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.
( )1.The main reason(原因) for one’s poor memory is that ____.
A. his father or mother may have a poor memory
B. he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time
C. he can’t read or write
D. his memory is not often used
( )2.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
( )3.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms and legs
B.Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.
C. Don’t learn how to read or write if you want to have a better memory.
D. A good memory comes from more practice.
( )4.Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories because ____.
A. they have to use their memories all the time
B. they have saved much trouble
C. they have saved much time to remember things
D. they can’t write everything in a little notebook
( )5.Give a best title(标题) for this passage.
A. Don’t Stop Using Your Arms or Legs B. How to Have a Good Memory
C. Strong Arms and Good Memories D. Learn from the People
C
The crow(乌鸦) is an ordinary bird. It is about 20 inches(英寸) long and black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on old bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us tan any birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day long, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their nests in the trees. They sleep there at night.
Crows are much noisier than any birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together and sometimes they do it by turns like human beings. It is easy to tell from crows’ sounds whether they are pleased or angry. Maybe crows talk a lot because they are friendly birds. A pair of crows will live together all their lives, and if one of them dies, the other one becomes very dad and quiet for the rest of its life and sometimes it dies, too.
根据短文内容判断下列句子的正误，正确的用“T”,错误的用“F”

( )2.Crows talk day and right and they never have a rest.
( )3.Croes can make only one kind of sound.
( )4.A pair of crows loves each other so much that neither of them can live alone happily.
( )5.The passage tells us how to protect crows.

In the eighteenth century, cities became larger and larger. People moved from the country and the small towns to the cities, because there was more work for them to do in the cities. On Sundays and holiday they liked to leave the cities and have a good time in the country. But not every family had a horse. People needed and wanted another kind of transportation(交通工具). Inventors in many countries tried to meet this need. The first bike was very simple. It was made in 1790. People called it “the horse on wheels(轮子).” Then in 1861, bikes became popular.
People liked bikes, because they weren’t so dear as houses. They didn’t need to build a house to keep them in, and they wanted nothing to eat. They could ride them in the city and in the country. Everybody in the family could go and come by bike——men, women, girls and boys.
