After a year or so, 15 ,I still hadn't got a break and began to 16 myself．It was so hard to sell a story that hardly made enough to eat． 17 I knew I wanted to write．I had 18 about it for years．I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering． 19 if ?

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; 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 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: Practice remembering.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many people find it hard to make friends. 61 All it takes is for you to get out of your shell and remember that if you love yourself, others will too. Especially being a teen, making friends can be hard or easy depending on several factors．

Relax. It’s all about confidence---if you are nervous or try too hard to look cool you’ll just act strange. So you won’t make many friends. You will stand out as overdoing(做得过分) something．

You have to act as you have had plenty of friends in the past, so even the “cool” ones will want to speak to you. 62 Be relaxed．People will like you for passing a peaceful energy．

Make the first move. Don’t be shy because it won’t help you in anything. Look around for people that seem interesting, and go up to talk to them. A good subject to talk about to anyone is music because almost everybody likes music. 63 Try not to get deep when you are first meeting somebody.

64 Everyone likes to be heard. So give attention to what others say, look straight in their eyes and show you’re paying attention. If this person feels that you’re listening to him, your new friend will enjoy your company more．

Develop friendships. You may talk to someone now but soon they’ll forget you if you stop． 65 Say their name as often as you can. When you greet them, say things like, “Hey Alex!”，“What’s going on, Sarah?’’ If you do that every day, they’ll be happy that you care about them and remember them, so they won’t forget you and you will be good friends．

A．It is really not．

B．Be a good listener．

C．Other topics could be movies or sports．

D．Making one or two best friends is usually enough．

E. Invite your new friends to go out together with you．

F. Think of good reasons why someone would like to meet you．

G. You’d better take a time to say hi to them every day and ask how they are doing．

_______ your score and see how many points you get.

A．Add to

B．Add up

C．Add up to

D．Added to
