When I was seven years old，my family made me an ant（蚂蚁）farm．First，we put clean sand in a thin glass box．Then we waited for the ants to arrive．
After the ants were in the glass farm，they started to make tunnels（地道）．I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do．Each had its own job．
On the fifth day a tragedy（悲剧）happened．I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over．All the tunnels fell down．Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake．one by one they began to die，I was scared as I watched them building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm．
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness．They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone．
Although much time has passed，I still think of that ant farm．Mom has hoped it would teach me about the natural world．but it taught me much more．
Over the years I came to realize the importance of teamwork．Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves．I also learned that they should be admired（钦佩）for their hard work．
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently：Adversity（逆境）is a natural part of life，and must be accepted．Unlike the ants，we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone．we must build another．
Give up，I say，is not a good choice（选择）．

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答下面问题。把答案写在每小题后的横线上。
If you do not use your arms or legs for a long time，they become weak．When you start using them again，they slowly become strong again．Everybody knows that．But many people do not know that memory（记忆）is 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 does not give it a chance to become strong．
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak，we know that it is his own fault（错误）．But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame（责备）and few of us know that it is just his own fault．
Have you ever noticed that some people．who can’t read or write usually have better memories? This is because they can’t read or write and they have to remember things with their mind――they can’t write them down in a little notebook．They have to remember days．names，songs and stories．so they are always exercising their memories．
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from those people：practice remembering．

77．Do your arms and legs become strong or weak when you use them a lot?
