26、milyBIf you do not use your arm 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 tha
27、t 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(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,
28、 many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they can write down in a l
29、ittle 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: Practice remembering.( )54. The main reason(主要原因) for one with poor memory is that _ .A. his father or mother may have

32、D. A good memory comes from more practice.( )57. Give a best title(标题) for this passage. A. Dont Stop Using Your Arms or Legs B. How to Have a Good Memory C. Strong Arms and Good Memories D. Learn from the PeopleC A driver stopped his car on a street side to have a rest. When he sat in the seat and
33、closed his eyes, a pedestrian (行人) came up and knocked at his window to ask the time. The driver opened his eyes and looked at his watch, It is 8 oclock. He said. Then he went to sleep again. But soon he woke up because a second pedestrian was knocking at the window, Sir, do you have the time? he as
34、ked. The driver looked at his watch again and told the man it was 8:30.If it happened again, he could not have a good rest. So he wrote a short note and put it on the window for all the people to see. It said, I dont have the time.Again the man sat in the seat and slept. A few minutes later a third
35、pedestrian came along and began knocking at the window. Hey, sir, she said, Its 8:45.( ) 58. The driver stopped his car to _.A. have breakfastB. have a restC. have lunchD. tell time( ) 59.

The driver would be happy when the third pedestrian told him the time.D In the 13th century, the famous Indian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China. He
38、saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 ye
39、ars ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the ear
40、th. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using l
41、ess paper now. If we dont, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕)and paper ones. When we go sho
42、pping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant gives us a paper bag, we can save it and refuse it later. Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.( )62. When he was in China, Marco Polo _ . A. dis

44、iece of paper. B. To use the paper bags from shops more than once. C. To use cotton handkerchiefs and paper ones. D. All of the above.( )65. Which is the best title（题目） of the passage? A.
