If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them , they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that.

But many people don’t know that memory works in the same way. When someone says 　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 he doesn’t give it enough chance to become strong.

Some people can’t read or write, but usually they have better memories. This is because they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is being exercised the whole time. So if you want to have a good memory, you have to practice remembering.

IV. 短文理解，根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。(10分，每小题2分)

We have a lot of rules at school. We have to wear uniforms every day. But all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly. We want to wear our own clothes. Our teachers are afraid that we may concentrate more on our clothes than our studies.

The best students won’t only have high marks they don’t dye their hair , smoke or drink. They are not allowed to get their ears pierced or wear earrings at school. They don’t copy other’s work in an exam, instead, they do it all by themselves. That’s not something an honest student should do.

　We enjoy doing homework with friends. But parents don’t allow us to do that. Because they think we’ll talk instead of studying. I disagree. I know we get noisy sometimes but we learn a lot from each other.

We are not allowed to go to Internet bars on school nights ,even on holidays. At present, our vacations are too short. I think longer vacations would give us much time to do things like volunteering. I want to be a teacher when I’m older. Last week I went to a primary school and helped teach young students there.
