If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; and when you start using them again, the will slowly become strong again. 1 knows this, and nobody would think of 2 the fact.
Yet there are many people who 3 to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that 4 has a good memory, he 5 means that he keeps his memory 6 practice by exercising it very 7 , either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is 8 , he means that he does not give it enough 9 to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of 10 people, one of 11 exercises his arms and legs by playing balls, while the other 12 in a chair or a car all day. If a friends of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own 13 . But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, 14 of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just 15 , and few of us realize that it is just as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind, 16 all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means 17 .
Have you ever 18 that people who cannot read or write usually have 19 memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because they cannot write down something in a little notebook or something else. They have to remember names, places, songs and stories; so their memory is always being exercised.
In a word, if you want to have a good memory, 20 practise remembering.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? 71 Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观者). At least, this is what psychologists(心理专家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 72 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu--- but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.
Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a runny nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.
Flu is much more serious illness and is caused by different group of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the typical symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.
Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly, who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely worth it.
If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!You don’t want to see the small drop of liquids blown out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting, eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!
