Mr. Perkin didn’t like to be different from others. He always tried to wear the same clothes, eat the same food, and do the same things after work as others.
One day Mr. Perkin noticed (注意到) that many new cars were new Beta 400s and most of them were yellow. The next week, Mr. Perkin bought a new yellow Beta 400. He was very pleased with it, and drove to work the next day. He was more pleased, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind, and on both sides of him.
Mr. Perkin parked (停放) his car near his office. But when he came back at five o’clock, there were so many yellow Beta 400s that he didn’t know which car was his. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people gave him a strange (奇怪的) look, so he stopped. Poor Mr. Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until (直到) there was only one yellow Beta 400 left.

We each have a memory（记忆）. That's why we can remember things after a long time. Some people have a very good memory and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again.
A good memory helps one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they hear, remember and speak the two languages every day. In school it is not easy to learn a foreign language because the students have little time for it and they have to learn other subjects, too.
