If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; and when you start using them again, they will slowly become strong again.       knows this, but nobody would think of     the fact.
Yet there are many people who        to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that       has a good memory, he       means that he keeps his memory in practice     exercising it very     , either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is     , he means that he does not give it enough      to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of       people, one of      exercises his arms and legs by playing ball, while the other       in a chair or a car all day. If a friend of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own      , But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,      of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just     , and few of us realize that it is just as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind,       all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means that      .
Have you ever       that people who cannot read or write usually have      memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because they cannot write down something in a little notebook or something else. They have to remember names, places, songs and stories; so their memory is always being exercised.
In a word, if you want to have a good memory, do practice       things。

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   46  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   47 . The only solution is to reach   48  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   49  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   50 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   51 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   52 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   53 . The only direct and honest comparison is   54  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   55  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  56  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   57 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated(埋头苦干的)you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   58  someone is coming up fast   59  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   60 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   61  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who  62  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   63 . You are a more  64  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   65  is all you need.

A noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in one’s life.Indeed it is, for during        one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills.Each step         an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities.During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns         skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently.At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative.His ability to remember things also       at this stage. He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering.Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving.At school, particular in        classes, the child is especially creative.Given a piece of paper and some colored pencils, he draws a variety of        from his surroundings as well as from his          circle.It is not surprising to see a child draw a monster to represent an abusive father, and an angel to represent a loving and caring mother.
As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the          of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates. He also learns to         with new life situations, including dates and part-time work. Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more________ and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation entertainment.

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January,  38 UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were  39 up.
