It was a dark and cold night. The car driver didn't have even one

passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, "Where do you want to go, sir?"

"To the Star Hotel," the young man answered. When the car driver heard that, he didn't feel happy. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.

After a long time, the car finally arrived at the hotel. "You should pay me fifteen dollars," the car driver said to the young man. "What ! Fifteen dollars? Do you think I'm a fool? Only last week I took a car from the railway station to this same hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip.

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 this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory (记忆力) 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 exercising it very often. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chances to become strong.

Have you ever found that people who cannot read or write have better memories than those who can? Why is this? 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, times and names, songs and stories；so their memory is being ex ercised all the time. So if you want a good memory, practise remembering.

41. If you want your arms and legs strong, you should ____.

A. let them have a good rest

B. practise them for a day or two

C. not use them very often

D. use them very often

42. If your memory is good, that is because ____.

A. your parents brought it to you

B. you are clever enough

C. you practise remembering things often

D. you have good teachers

43. One who does not have a good memory ____.

A. didn't go to school when he was young

B. can remember things quickly

C. often writes things in a small notebook

D. does not keep it in practice

44. As we can learn from the tex t, ____.

A. those who cannot read or write have better memories

B. those who can read and write don't have good memories

C. those who cannot write often write something down

D. those who can read and write have better memories

45. The title for this passage is ____ .

A. Practise Your Arms and Legs

B. Arms, Legs and Memory

C. Good Memory Comes from Practice

D. Learn to Have a Good Memory

C

Then comes July, and with it ex aminations, but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boys and girls have nearly two months' holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.

The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one's time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play. The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.

In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Black pool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so. Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one's feet, of salt water on one's skin, and of the warm sun on one's back that make the seaside what it is.

46. The summer holidays start ____.

A. with July

B. as soon as the examinations are over

C. in mid June

D. in August

47. July and August are the brightest months for most children, for they can

____.

A. do more reading

B. stay with their parents for all the vacation

C. play out of doors

D. meet their old friends

48. ____ can take their families to the seaside.

A. Only the rich

B. Not only the rich

C. Some workers and driver'

D. Most cleaners and waiters

49. The summer holidays last ____.

A. as long as two months

B. more than two months

C. one and a half months

D. a little less than 2 months

50. Southend, Margate, Blackpool and Clacton are ____.

A. seaside towns

B. places where people can get well again

C. beautiful scenic spots

D. in the United States

Dear Toby,

I have received your letter and very sorry to hear about your problems, but it's quite common for a high school

student to become nervous about the coming final exam.

You don't have to think much of the examinations and

the results, because the marks only reflect how you are getting

on with your studies. It can't decide your future.

If you are still nervous, you can have a talk with your

teacher, your parents or a friend, they will listen to you

whenever you have problems and give you some useful advice.

What's more, you can listen to some light music and have a bath

before going to bed. I believe you can solve your problems

soon.

Yours sincerely,

David
