Nearly two hundred years ago, in France, two brothers stood watching smoke rise in the air. “If we put some of that smoke in a big bag, perhaps the bag would rise,” said one. “Yes,” said the other. “And if the bag were big enough, it might even lift us right up into the air, too.”
The boys built a huge bag of paper and cloth. Underneath (在……下面) it they made a fire. Soon the bag began to fill out into a great round ball. It was the first balloon (气球) in the world.

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 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(机会) to become strong.
If a friend says that his aims 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 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.
1．The main reason(主要原因)for one's 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 more
B．they will become stronger
C．they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again
D．they become weak but they slowly become strong again
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 do not 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 memory, because ________.
[ ]
A．they have solved 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．Give a best title(标题) for this passage.
[ ]
A．Don't Stop Using Your Arms or Legs
B．How to Have a Good Memory
C．Strong Arms and Good Memories
D．Learn From the People

The Giraffe
The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5 .5 metres tall. Its neck alone may 1.9 metres long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones (骨) in its neck, the same number as in the human (人类) . Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe.
