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(记忆力) 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 can’t hear or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they can not write them down in a little book. They have to remember days, names ,songs and stories. So their memory is the whole time being exercised.

A. right    B. wrong
小题2:If you don't use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong.

What must you do when you receive a present for your birthday? You have to sit down and write a thank-you note. The word “thanks” is very important. We have to use them very often. We say them when someone gives us drink, helps us to pick up things, hands us a letter or lends us a book. It is rude to ask someone to do something without saying “please”. We have to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book or a pencil, more rice or help. We have to use “please” to make request pleasant.
We have to learn to say “sorry”, too. When we have hurt someone, we’ll have to go up and say we’re sorry. When we have forgotten something, we will say “sorry”. We can make people forget wrong by saying it.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people        how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a         to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are         drivers. One has a destination（目的地）in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goals or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver,         she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas (汽油). Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making          and setting goals.       people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must       what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more        to achieve it. Written goals can be         regularly, and have more power. Like a contract（契约） with yourself, they are harder to forget. Also        you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

I love music. I learned to play the guitar at 11 and I wrote my first song four years later. My dream -----to become a country singer.
After years of hard work, a record company was showing interest in me. One day during a trip to mountains, a friend gave me a bit of meth, a kind of drugs(毒品). I smoked it. And that was all that I thought about for the next year and a half. I couldn’t live without it.
When the police came to me, I looked like death. The first seven days in prison(监狱), I just slept. When I woke up on the eighth day, I had never known such shame and guilt(罪恶感). I walked down the hall to the pay phone. My mama is the best person on the earth, and I knew this was going to break her heart. When I heard her voice on the phone, I told her where I was. She just said, “Son, no matter what you did, I love you forever(永远).
Her words gave me the confidence to face my trouble(麻烦). And I also realized(意识到) this was my chance to start a new life.
When people hear my words, I hope they will not make the same mistake(错误) as I have, but I know that you can overcome(克服) almost anything, especially smoking drug. That’s why I share my story here.
