Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that 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 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 fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, 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 they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. 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.56. 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 againD. they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again57. Some people can't read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _.A. they can't write everything in a little notebook B. they have to use their memories all the timeC. they have saved much trouble         D. they have saved much time to remember things58. The main reason for one's poor memory is that _        A. he does not use his arms or legs for some time B. he can't read or write C. his father or mother may have a poor memory             D. his memory is not often used59. Give the best title for this passage.A. How To Have A Good Memory B. Don't Stop Using Your Arms Or Legs C. Strong Arms And Good Memories     D. Learn From The PeopleBAstronauts on shorter shuttle missions often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.        While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early , the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some "web surfing" in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.        Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.60. What does the word "mimic" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. copy   B. find           C. change        D. lose61. Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS? A. They are impatient and annoyed. B. They are worried and upset. C. They are caring and thoughtful. D. They are excited and curious.62. In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts _. A. love to see the Earth from space B. find living in space a bit boring and tiring C. regard space life as common D. get more pleasure in space than on the Earth63. The passage mainly discusses how astronauts _. A. work for longer missions in space B. spend their free time in space C. observe the Earth from space D. connect with people on the Earth CMuch of the water we use comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power centers and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to 75% of all surface water supplies.Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from cold, winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced.Snow also is known to influence the movement of sound waves. When there is fresh snow on the ground, the surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. However, snow can become hard and flat as it becomes older or if there have been strong winds. Then the snow's surface will help to send back sound waves. Under these conditions, sounds may seem clearer and travel farther.Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural materials take in some sunlight. This gives them their color. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected. Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. Yet the snow does take in a little sunlight. It is this light that gives snow its white appearance.Sometimes, snow or ice may appear to be blue. The blue light is the product of a long travel path through the snow or ice. In simple terms, think of snow or ice as a filter. A filter is designed to reject some substances, while permitting others to pass through. In the case of snow, all the light makes it through if the snow is only a centimeter thick. If it is a meter or more thick, however, blue light often can be seen.64. How many functions of snow are discussed in the passage? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four65. Why does snowfall help to protect plants from cold? A. Because snow crystals contain heat. B. Because snow crystals have air in them. C. Because snow crystals are easy to
