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.

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项。

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.

 73  A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.  74  A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ---until it was repainted green. 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.

  75 It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

A.On the other hand, black is depressing.

B.They tells us that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up——we are born

with our preference.

C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.

D.If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys

life, people and excitement.

E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.

G. Colors do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it .

 

 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!
