14.Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living.One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30AM.When I arrived to collect,I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked,"Just a minute,"answered a weak,elderly voice.
After a long pause,the door opened.A small woman in her eighties stood before me.By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car,and then returned to help the woman.She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness."It's nothing,"I told her."I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh,you're such a good man."She said.When we got into the taxi,she gave me an address,and then asked,"Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way,"I answered quickly.

At dawn,she suddenly said,"I'm tired.Let's go now."
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much do I owe you?"she asked.
"Nothing."I said.
"You have to make a living,"she answered."Oh,there are other passengers,"I answered.
Almost without thinking,I bent and gave her a hug.She held onto e tightly.Our hug ended with her remark,"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."

8.Four ways to Improve Your Memory
Have you ever imagined the benefits that a good memory can bring to you?Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in your life. (16)D.Here are four ways to improve your memory:
Make the most of your imagination.(17)FFor example,to remember where you have left your car keys,pretend to hold a camera to your eyes,focus on the scene,and click the image into your memory when you are leaving.This technique works with almost everything you want to remember,as the roll of films in your mind is endless.
Try to practice.There are lots of ways to do this:try to remember which day of the week your last birthday was.(18)ETry to remember all the ping-pong finalists and the winner.If you can try to remember the scores as well,it would be even better to practice.It won't be long before your daily practice pays off,making your mind sharper and more adaptable.
Get physical exercise.Physical exercise not only improves memory but also helps you think faster.A combination of mental and physical activity can protect your memory.It is known that the brain's processing speed gradually slows as you age.(19)C                              (20)AMental exercises are as important as physical ones to keep one's brain power.Take up word games like crossword puzzles.Memorize favorite poems and read challenging books or articles that encourage you to expand your interests.Any activity that requires you to think and concentrate will challenge your brain.And your brain will develop better on the challenge.

A.Exercise your brain.
B.Play more games.
C.Fortunately,staying physically fit can avoid some of the effects of age on the brain.
D.In fact,the ability to remember things is necessary to your success.
E.Then extend this to the birthdays of all your family members.
F.An easy way to remember something is to"take a picture".
G.If you are right-handed,try to brush your teeth with your left hand.
