If it wants to look at both sides, it must turn its neck. Owls make a strange noise because the owls sleep most of the day. They usually give their cries at night. The cry sounds like “Whoo! Whoo”. This strange sound sometimes frightens people at night. ( ) 1. An owl looks clever because 。 A. it has a beautiful body B. it has big eyes C. it can look straight ahead D. it can turn its neck ( )2.

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(机会) 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 are to blame(受责备), 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 and they have to remember things they can 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. ( )1. The main reason(主要原因) for one with poor memory is that . A. his father or mother may have a poor memory B. he does not use his arms or legs for some time C. his memory is not often used D. he can’t read or write ( )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 and won’t become strong until you use them again D. they will not change ( )3. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs. B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice. C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory. D. A good memory comes from more practice. ( ) 4. Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because . A. they have saved much trouble B. they have saved much time to remember things C. they have to use their memories all the time D. they can’t write everything in a little notebook ( )5.
