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 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 fault(過錯(cuò))．But if he tells us that he has a poor memory．many of us think that his parents are to blame(責(zé)備)，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 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 little 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．

1．The main reason for one’poor memory is that_________．

    A．his memory is not often used.

    B．he does not use his arms or legs for long.

    C．his father or mother may have a poor memory.

    D．he can，t read or write at all.

2．From the passage we learn that if our arms and legs are weak，_________．

    A．we won’t be able to use them any more

    B．they will become strong very soon

    C．they won’t become strong till we use them again

    D．that is not related to ourselves

3．Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

    A．Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs．

    B．Writing things down will help you remember them．

    C．A person with a good memory must be able to read and write．

    D．A good memory comes from its more practice．

4．Some people can’t read or write，hut they usually have better memories，because_________．

    A．they have less trouble in writing things

    B．they can remember things more easily

    C．they are better at learning from others

    D．they have to keep their memories in more use

5．Which is the best title of this passage?

    A．Don’t Stop Using Your Arms or Legs   B．How to Have a Good Memory

    C．How to Keep Your Body Strong           D．Reading，Writing and Memory

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確的選項(xiàng)。
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, you can not have enough sleep. Then you can not think properly and you can not do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes nutrition (營養(yǎng)) to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to breathe. Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(樂觀者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理學(xué)家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, and the influence that colours have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favourite colours as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines and painted orange rather than black or dark grey.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief(手帕).
【小題1】The author believes in the passage that________.

A．a(chǎn)nyone can choose his color preference in his life
B．no one can choose his color preference in his life
C．a(chǎn)nyone is born with his color preference
D．no one is born with his color preference
【小題2】According to the passage, ________.
A．if you enjoy life, you must like yellow, orange and red
B．when you are quiet, you must prefer grays and blues
C．if you love green, you usually do what you have decided
D．if you love pink, you often go to flower shops
【小題3】Psychologists study the meaning of color preference because________.
A．colors may affect the emotional states of the people
B．colors may decide the results of our work and study
C．color preference can tell you who your friends are
D．color preference can help you to see through your enemies
【小題4】Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A．It is no proper to wear a red dress in summer.
B．We feel happier and more active if we see light and bright colors.

Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.

1. Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (營養(yǎng)) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.

2. Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (鈣) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories (熱量), not important nutrition.

3. Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.

4. Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games.
