In many cultures white often means something positive (禾只极).A white-collar job, for example, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain and not your hands.
White represents purity. That is why doctors and nurses usually wear white uniforms. Women wear white on their wedding day. Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good, like "whitewash". At first, "whitewash" meant to paint something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures. A "white elephant" is another example. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred (神圣的)animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days gave a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin (毁掉).Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. Today, a "white elephant" means something that is big, useless and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of (丢弃)their furniture or clothes, they often have a "white elephant sale".

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; when you start using them again, they will gradually (逐渐地)become stronger again. Everybody knows this. Yet many people do not seem to know that it is the same with memory. When someone says that he has a
poor memory, he really means that he doesn’t give it enough chance to become stronger.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (错误).But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are the ones to blame (责怪),and few of us know that it is just his own fault too.
Have you ever found some people can’t read or write but they usually 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 must remember dates, names, songs and stories; so their memory is being exercised all the time.
So if you want a good memory, leam from these people: practise remembering.
Arms or legs | Memory |
