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 own 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 cant read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they cannot write 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: Practice remembering. 41. The main reason for ones poor memory is that _. A. he cant read or write B. his memory is not often used C. his father or mother may have a poor memory D. he does not use his arm or legs for some time 42. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time _. A. you cant use them any moreB. they will become stronger C. they will become neither stronger nor weaker D. they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again.43.

Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters. If you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning, said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross. Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter, Lopes said. Summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: ? Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields. ? Do not stand under a tree. ? Get off bicycle and motorcycles. ? Crouch down (蹲下) if there is no shelter. ? Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers. 46. In the US, _ is the most common cause of deaths during natural disasters. A. lightning B. floods C. hurricanes D. tornadoes 47. Of the people who are struck by lightning every year in the US, about _ people are lucky enough to survive. A. 330 B. 70 C. 400 D. 5 48.

Week by week her list grew: I was very thin，I wasn t a good student, I talked too much ， I was too proud， and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last，I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and then he asked: “ Are the things she says true or not? Janet ， didn t you ever wonder what you re really like ? Well ，you now have that girl s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “ That s just for you，” he said, “ You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true ，you ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do. ”Daddy s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life ，I ve never had a better piece of advice. 51. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter s complaint? A. He refused to take the list and have a look at it. B.

Not an Enemy，but the Best Friend D I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance(保险业 ) company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job-I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma (精神创伤 ) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife。Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didnt probe ( 盘问) any further. He admitted my loss and with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had -a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help of just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need. 56. The writer took part in the interview because _. A.
