One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look! There’s a horseshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, “It isn’t worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries.
The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn’t a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost some time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.
And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, "My dear son, if you had bent down earlier to pick up that horseshoe. it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries.

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．More clearly，our poor memory is our own fault，but not our parents'．The following is what I will discuss about it．

Give yourself time to form（形成）a memory．Memories are very fragilein a short time，and you may quickly forget something as a phone number．The key to avoiding losing memories before you can even form them is to be able to pay much attention to the thing to be remembered for a while without thinking about other things．

Move your eyes from side to side．Studies show that moving your eyes from side to side for just 30 seconds once a day will exercise your brain and make your memory work more smoothly．Try this when you wake up in the morning．

Say things you want to remember aloud．If you're meeting a person and don't want to forget his or her name．Just repeat the name naturally after you learn it，"Hi，Sarah，it's nice to meet you．"This also works to remember an address or a meeting time．Just repeat it aloud to the person who invited you，"The Grand Tavern at 7？That sounds perfect．"

Using chunking．Chunking is a way of grouping things together to help you memorize them．Let's take a shopping list for example．You can chunk your list by the starting letter of each item（物品）； you need to pick up eggs，bread，butter，coffee and cheese from the store，remember one E，two B's and two C's．As long as you remember the correct numbers，you should be able to recall the items in each letter group．

Chunking is what we do when we list a phone number with dashes．Which looks easier to memorize，856459820 or 856﹣435﹣9820？You probably won't remember 17761812184818651898，but try putting a space after every fourth number．Now you can see that those numbers are years，and you can pick key events from each year to help you remember the number．

62．What's the main idea of the text？　　．

A．	Good or bad memories depend on one's parents．
B．	How and when to learn from others to exercise our memories．
C．	The ways that may make memories become better and better．
D．	Our memories will become better if we keep repeating something．

63．The underline word"fragile"in Paragraph 2 means 　　．

A．

weak

B．

colorful

C．

clear

D．

boring

64．According to the writer，we can infer （推断）taht Sarah is most probably"your" 　　．

A．

sister

B．

cousin

C．

primary school teacher

D．

new friend

65．Which of the following is doing chunking？　　

A．	Trying memorizing a lot of numbers by saying them aloud at a time．
B．	Listing all of the fruits together and the bread products together．
C．	Putting many important events into a telephone number．
D．	Moving our eyes from side to side in the morning．

Stores play music Lo change the way customers feel Clothing stores for teenagers play popular music．It is exciting and makes the customers feel happy．But music does more than that．I can change the way person shops．

According to studies，the volume（音量） of music changes how people shop．Customers shop quickly when store music is very loud．They hurry through the store，but they buy just as much．When music is quiet，customers shop slowly Customers take time to look at the products and talk with the salespeople．Quiet music is good for products that take time and information to buy．

Slow music makes people slow down．In restaurants with slow music，customers spend more time eating，Slow music also slows down customers in supermarkets．Customers notice more product as they walk through the store．With slow music in supermarkets，sales go up by 38 percent．

Familiar（熱悉的）music give shoppes a good idea of time．People know the beginning，middle，and end of a familiar song．When customers hear music that is not familiar，they don't notice the time．When they don't notice the time，they spend more time shopping and buy more．People remember past experiences and feeling when they hear familiar music．Many stores play old，happy music so customers feel good．When customers hear new music，they forget about the world outside of the store．Some stores use new music so their customers relax while they shop．
