  Some people have very good memories (记忆力), and can easily learn quite long poems (诗) by hearts. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over.

  Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men of the world have had wonderful memories.

  A good memory is a good help in learning a language. Everybody knows his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child. Some children - like boys and girls who live in foreign countries with their parents - seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In schools, it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well.

  The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo graph is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can make a picture remain for ever in the mind.

  Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

(1) ________ have good memories.

[  ]

A.Some great people

B.Only great people

C.The children who live in foreign countries with their parents

D.The pupils who study a second language in schools

(2) It is said in the passage that Charles Dickens could remember things by ________.

[  ]

A.looking at them over and over

B.saying them over and over

C.looking at them over

D.saying them loudly once

(3) Everybody learns his own language by ________.

[  ]

A.taking photographs with a camera and remaining them in the mind

B.being taught when he is a small child

C.remembering what he hears when he is a small child

D.going to other countries

(4) According to the passage, it is ________ to learn a second language in their own countries than in foreign countries.

[  ]

A.slower
B.easier
C.quicker
D.more difficult

(5) Which of the following is true?

[  ]

A.Memory is very important in learning a foreign language.

B.A person learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is born.

C.An adult can pick up a language more easily than a child.

D.Our memory is just like a camera.

Reading comprehension(阅读理解)

  Bill and Sally White, their father and mother, and some of their friends were visiting Bill's uncle George at the seashore. Uncle George was Bill's father's brother. He had a house and a sailboat(帆船). Bill and Sally had visited him many times. They liked the seashore very much.

  It was late in August. The air was cool, but the water was warm enough for swimming. Uncle George had invited them all to go sailing(航海) with him. They were going to sail for two or three hours and then have a picnic on one of the islands in the bay(海湾).

  The young people were very excited, but Mrs. White was afraid of the sailboat. “I don't want to ride in the sailboat, George,” she said. “It goes too fast. Besides, I'd get wet and cold.”

  “Well,” said Uncle George, “you don't have to go in the sailboat if you don't want to, Alice. The Thompsons are taking their motorboat, and you can go in that. You'll be dry and warm.”

  “What do you think of the weather, George?” said Bill's father. “I see a few clouds in the sky.”

  “Oh, it will be all right,” said Uncle George. “Anyway, if it gets cloudy, we can come back. Let's go.”

  They all got into the boat, and Uncle George went to work. He untied(解开) the ropes and held the boat, and the boat began to move slowly. When they were about fifty yards from the shore, he raised the sail.

  “Watch your heads!” he called out. The wind was blowing. It filled the sail, and the boat began to move fast. “Just like a bird,” Sally thought. “Oh, this is wonderful!”
