Question

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 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 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.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.

Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little 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: practise remembering.

4.A

【解析】

試題分析：本文論述了我們對記憶力的好壞應(yīng)有個清楚的認(rèn)識，記憶力差的人并非天生就記憶力不好，而是沒有讓大腦得到充分的利用。文中以不會寫不會讀的人為例來論證這個觀點(diǎn)，他們就是沒有把他們的思想寫在紙上，而他們卻充分利用了大腦。

1.這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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.胳膊和腿不用就會變得沒有勁了，等你在用時就又有勁了，故選D。

2.這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.他們不會寫不會讀，但是他們卻一直在用腦去記，故選B。

3.這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.有不好的記憶力的人，其實(shí)是沒有讓大腦得到充分的鍛煉，故選D。

4.這是標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)最后幾句，可以看出應(yīng)選A。

考點(diǎn)：這是一篇議論文。

點(diǎn)評：標(biāo)題應(yīng)最大程度地覆蓋全文，囊括文章的主要內(nèi)容，體現(xiàn)文章的主題；針對性，是指標(biāo)題的含義要直接指向文章的主要特點(diǎn)；而簡潔性，則是指標(biāo)題應(yīng)言簡意賅，能吸引讀者的注意力，并喚起讀者對文章的閱讀興趣等。
