If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. If he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means----practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little book. They have to remember dates, times and places, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor; practice remembering.
1. How does a person do to keep a good memory?
A. By exercising his arms or legs regularly.
B. By giving his memory opportunity to become strong.
C. By exercising his memory regularly.
D. By sitting in a chair or a motor all day.
2. According to the author, who usually have a better memory?
A. Those who are talented in memorizing things.
B. Those who cannot read or write.
C. Those who have ordinary bodies.
D. Those who always exercise his arms and legs.
3. What should you do if you want a good memory?
A. To go in for as many sports as possible.
B. To practice remembering.
C. To write down the things you should remember in a notebook.
D. To learn from those who cannot read or write.
4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. He who says he has a good memory always exercises it consciously.
B. He who says he has a good memory always exercises it unconsciously.
C. Many people think that the parents of those who have a poor memory are to blame.
D. All of those who can not read and write have better memories than those who can.

If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s 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 exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault.
