8．When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time，they will 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 （記憶 ） 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 own fault （過錯）．But if he tells us that he has a poor memory，many of us think that his parents may be blamed （責(zé)備 ），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 usually they have better memories？This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things，they cannot write them down in a small notebook．They have to remember days，names，songs and stories，so their memory is being exercised the whole time．
So if you want to have a good memory，learn from the people：practice remembering things in a way as other people do．

分析 這篇短文中作者想要告訴我們，我們的記憶力就像我們的胳膊和腿一樣，需要經(jīng)常使用，給它足夠的練習(xí)，這樣我們才能有好的記憶力．作者還告訴了我們應(yīng)該怎樣提高我們的記憶力的方法．如果你想有好的記憶力，就要向別人學(xué)習(xí)，照別人做的那樣用一種方法勤于練習(xí)記憶東西．
解答 48．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文第一段的意思可知，作者用胳膊或腿給我們做類比，如果我們不經(jīng)常的使用他們，他們就會變?nèi)�；�?dāng)你又重新使用他們的時候，他們又會變得強壯．我們的記憶力也是一樣的．由此可知，如果我們不使用我們的記憶力，我們就不會有好的記憶力．故選C．
49．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文第一段中When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time，they will become weak．When you start using them again，they slowly become strong again可知，當(dāng)我們一段時間不用我們的胳膊或腿的時候，他們就會變?nèi)酰?dāng)你重新使用他們的時候，他們又會慢慢地變強．故選A．
50．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)memory （記憶 ） works in the same way．可排除A；根據(jù)This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things，they cannot write them down in a small notebook．可排除C；根據(jù)When someone says that he has a good memory，he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it．可排除D；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．可知B是正確的．故選B．
51．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文中But if he tells us that he has a poor memory，many of us think that his parents may be blamed （責(zé)備 ），and few of us know that it is just his own fault．可知，如果你的朋友告訴你他的記憶力不好，我們很少有人會知道這其實是他自己的錯．故選D．
52．A．主旨大意題．這篇短文作者利用胳膊和腿的例子來告訴我們，我們的記憶力需要經(jīng)常使用和進行足夠的練習(xí)，這樣才能有好的記憶力．故A選項怎樣有好的記憶力最符合文意．故選A．
點評 本篇是一篇健康環(huán)保類閱讀短文．在閱讀短文之前，快速瀏覽問題，以便在閱讀短文時做到心中有數(shù)，快速、準(zhǔn)確地捕捉所要信息．先易后難．做題時不必拘泥于書中所呈現(xiàn)的語篇順序，應(yīng)遵循先易后難的原則．如可先做細(xì)節(jié)題再做推斷題，因為細(xì)節(jié)題大多能直接從文中找到答案，而推斷題則需對短文進行深層理解，再作判斷．
