第三节 阅读理解

If you do not use your arms or your 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 the 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 car all day.

If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is 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 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 notebook. They have to remember dates, time and prices, 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.

36. Which of the following is true, according to the first paragraph?

A. Everybody knows that memory works in the same way as the arms or legs.

B. It is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legs.

C. To have a good memory, one has to exercise it regularly.

D. To keep fit, one should not sit in a chair or a motor car.

37. In the author’s opinion, poor memory results from ______.

A. poor health B. unlucky fortune

C. insufficient education D. lack of remembering practice

38. The author seems to advise us to _____.

A. blame ourselves rather than our parents for the poor memory

B. learn from those who cannot read or write

C. complain about nothing but our health

D. play tennis to improve our memory

39. The author comes to the conclusion that _____.

A. the poorer one is, the better his memory

B. memory can be improved by practicing it

C. the poor people may help you remember things

D. if you want a good memory, do not read or write anything

40. Which of the following may best serve as the title of the article?

A. How to Improve Your Memory

B. Your Arms, Legs and Brain

C. Learn from the Poor People

D. Poor and Good Memory

【美文片段赏析】 I will persist until I succeed 我将坚持不懈，直到成功

The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.

生命的奖赏远在旅游终点，而非起点附近。踏上第一千步的时候，任然可能遭到失败，但成功就藏在拐角后面，除非拐了弯，我永远不知道还有多远。

I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. ...I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep my eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grow.

我绝不考虑失败，我的字典里不再有放弃、不可能、办不到、没法子、成问题、失败、行不通、没希望、退缩、、、这类愚蠢的字眼。我放眼未来，勇往直前，不再理会脚下的障碍。我坚信，沙漠尽头必是绿洲。

Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.

这一次皱起的眉头就是下一次舒展的笑容。今天的不幸，往往预示着明天的好运。
