"I will think of it．" It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? Though we cannot see, or hear, or feel our thoughts, they have great power (力量)!

Isaac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer evening when he saw an apple fall from a tree．He began to think, and tried to find out why the apple fell．Then he discovered how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places．

James Ferguson once saw the inside of his father's watch, and he wondered, "Why should I not make a watch?" This set him thinking and it led to a wooden clock which kept good time．

Walt Disney, the famous American film-maker, was often thinking of new ideas．One day, when he was in a meeting, he suddenly stopped talking, deep in thought．He looked and looked at a place high up in the room．This continued for a long time, and then he got an idea for a new cartoon．

Ideas come at any time, and the important thing is to think．When you meet with any difficulty, don't lose heart．Try to think of it before asking someone to help you．Think and by thinking you will learn how to think creatively．

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers．However, there is another difference between humans and computers．Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do．No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to．But everyone can improve their memory if they want to．Here are some suggestions．

Try to use new information immediately．For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos．"Don't just say "Hello．" Repeat the person's name．Say "________"

Break a big number into smaller parts． For example, it's hard to memorize (記憶) 109244153．But if you break it into three parts 109/244/153--it becomes easier．

Write out what you need to remember over and over again．This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts．

Always review information．If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, it becomes easier to remember． For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that day．

Discuss with a friend．It is always easier to remember things through discussions．You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer．

Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory．You can always do something to help improve your memory．And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough．

All the suggestions are helpful．If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory．

1.How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?

A. Three．

B. Four．

C. Five．

D. Six．

2.Which should be put in the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2?

A. Hello, Carlos．

B. How do you do?

C. Hello, I am Sophia．

D. Glad to meet you!

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Human beings can improve their memory by computers．

B. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep．

C. Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain．

D. Discussing with friends can help you remember things．

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better jobs．In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't．It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs．But this isn't accepted by all people．

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living．This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education．In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school．People can get education for a living in a short time．Subjects like History and Geography need not be taught to everyone．Even Language and Mathematics need not be taught in detail, either．Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living．

Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man．It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities．After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human．Education is to make a man lead a better life． Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world．

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason．

1.People with little education usually ________．

A. spend a long time in school

B. have a good chance to get a job

C. spend the best years choosing jobs

D. have fewer chances to get a good job

2.The earliest education was probably to ________．

A. make a man lead a better life

B. teach a man to write and think

C. make people get a way of living

D. teach people to read good books

3.It is expected that educated people will be able to ________．

A. accept education as a way of living

B. take an interest in the whole world

C. develop their abilities to make plays

D. learn subjects like Language and Maths

4.The passage mainly tells us that ________．

A. education should make a man improve

B. people can get education in a short time

C. people should be able to get better jobs

D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

Terry Fox's future changed in 1977 when doctors told him there was cancer in his right knee．To stop the spread of cancer, doctors amputated (截肢) most of his leg．Fox learned how to use an artificial leg, and three weeks after the operation, he was walking．

Terry Fox made a plan to raise money for cancer research by running across Canada．His goal was to raise $1 from every Canadian．People said it was a crazy idea but Terry could not be stopped．He started his running on the Atlantic coast in Newfoundland in April 1980 and planned to finish on the Pacific coast in September．

The people of Newfoundland were welcoming and generous．Fox was treated to many meals at people's homes．A small town of 10,000 people raised $10,000．Fox ran about 45 km each day．He ran through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario．As he ran he gave speeches about cancer and how the money he collected would go to finding a cure for cancer．The 8,000 people in the town of Gravenhurst donated $14,000．By the time he ran half-way across Canada he had raised $11.4 million．

At the end of August he thought he was getting a bad cold and stopped running for a few days．Doctors said the cancer had come back and was now in his lungs．Terry went into hospital for treatment．People kept donating money．There were 24 million people in Canada in 1980．Over $24 million had been raised by February 1981．Terry had met his goal．The treatment did not cure Terry． He died on June 28, 1981．That September, the first Terry Fox Run was held in Canada．Terry Fox Runs are now held yearly in 60 countries and millions of people have taken part．More than $ 360 million has been raised for cancer research．The donations for cancer research don't stop．His dream lives on．
