When someone else says that his memory is      , he means that he does not give it enough       to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of       people, one of      exercises his arms and legs by playing ball, while the other       in a chair or a car all day.

Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind,       all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means that      .
