    On the day when it was Ronny's turn to read． he sat very close to me． I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out "Bud the Sub"． It sounded more like "Baw Daw Saw" when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet（字母）．

    The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but he was still below the level of grade． A few weeks before the school year ended， I held an award（颁奖） ceremony． I had gifts and certificates（证书） for everyone． It took me a while to think about which Ronny fit； I believed the gift could cheer him up． I finally decided on "The Most Progressive Reader"． I showed his certificate and a book．

Fighting back tears（眼泪） I came near Ronny and asked， "Will you read me your book， Ronny？" He nodded．

    And then， for the next few minutes， he read to me more smoothly than I'd ever thought． When he finished reading， Ronny closed his book and said， "Good book．"

Most adults find it hard to remember the things happened while they were children． Now scientists have found exactly when these memories （1）d　　．

    A new study has found that most three﹣year﹣old children can remember a lot of what happened to them a year （2）e　　 ，and these memories are still clear while they are 5 and 6， but by the time they are over 7， these memories become weaker （3）r　　．

    Most children by the age of 8 or 9 can only remember 35% of their （4）e　　 from under the age of 3 according to the new studies．
