24、   If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory(记忆) 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 using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write them down in a small notebook and they have to remember things. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.

【1】Someone can't have a good memory if ________.

A.his parents haven't a good memory B.he doesn't use his memory often

C.he can't read or write D.he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time

【2】If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.

A.you can't use them any more B.they will become stronger

C.they become weak but they slowly become strong again D.they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again

【3】What does the underlined word “it” mean?

A.his arms and legs are weak B.parents' arms and legs are weak

C.he has a poor memory D.he has a good memory

【4】The writer of this passage wants to tell us ________.

A.how to use our arms or legs B.how to read and write

C.how to have a good memory D.how to learn from the people
