Question

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning the fact. ____1.____ When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. ____2.____ One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.

         If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. ____3.____, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means––practice.

         Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? ____4.____ Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things:they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

         ____5.____, learn from the poor: practice remembering.

A. What do you think of it?

C. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory

试题分析：本文介绍了记忆如同身体一样，也需要经常锻炼。

1. 根据When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong.可知这里想说许多人看起来不知道记忆力也是以同样的方式工作，故选B。

2. 根据One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day. 可知这里想它们的状态就如同这样两个人，故与G吻合。

3. 根据many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak.可知这里想但是如果他告诉我们他的记忆力很差，故选C

4.根据Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? ________ Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things:they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. 可知这里想说为什么会那样，与答案F对应。

5.根据learn from the poor: practice remembering可知这里想说如果你想要拥有一个好的记忆力，故选D
