C If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will 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 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 may be blamed(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 small 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 things in a way as other people do. 71.Someone can’t have a good memory if ________. A. he can’t read or write B. he doesn’t use his memory C. his parents haven’t a good memory D. he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time 72. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______. A. you can’t use them any more B. they will become stronger C. they become weak but they slowly become strong again D. they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again 73. Which of the following is TRUE ? A. Your memory works in the different 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 less practice 74. Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory. A. his own fault B. his parents’ fault C. his teachers’ fault D. his grandmother’s fault 75. The writer wants to tell us ________. A. how to use our arms or legs B. how to read and write C. how to have a good memory D. how to learn from the people D Many animals hide to stay alive. They hide in many ways. Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colors or shapes help protect them. It’s hard to see an Arctic bear in snow. Its white fur helps protect it. Chameleons(变色龙) can hide by changing colors. Their skin turns the same color as what is around them. Some chameleons can change colors in five minutes. Many animals try to look bigger than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are looking for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary. Some animals will run away from them. Many animals try to stay around other animals. This helps them stay alive. Zebras stay close together so that they can help each other look out of danger. Seeing many stripes at once can also confuse animals that want to eat them. Some birds stay in a circle, each toward a different direction. In this way they can also help each other stay alive by looking around for animals that many want to eat one of them. 76. Animals have ways to stay alive. How many of them are mentioned in the passage ? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Five 77. Why do animals hide ? A. Because they like to play hide-and-seek. B.
