A big, mighty(高大的) tree stood in a forest. Its branches(樹枝) spread out and its roots (根) went deep in the earth. A lot of people came here to have a rest under it. And a lot of birds stood on its branches to sing and dance. The big tree was very proud all the time.
At the foot of the tree, there was a little plant. The plant was thin, and seemed to be blown down by any of a little wind.
One day, the two neighbors were having a little chat.
“Well, little one,” said the tree to the plant, “why not put your feet deeply in the earth, and raise your head high in the air as I do?”
“I see there is no need to do so,” said the plant with a smile. “In fact, I think I may be safer in this way.”
“Safer?” said the tree. “Are you safer than I am? Do you know how deep my roots are in the earth and how strong my branches are? Who can possibly pull me out by the roots or bow my head to the ground?” And the tree didn’t want to say anything to the weak plant.
But the tree was to regret its words very soon. One evening, a great hurricane(颶風) came. It blew the trees off their roots and almost destroyed the forest completely. It uprooted（將……連根拔起）the mighty tree and blew it away with great force.
When the storm had gone, the villagers living nearby came to check the damage. The mighty tree lay on the ground, but the little plant still stood there.

B．Because the little plant knew less than the big tree.

We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories 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. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother 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 as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

About ten men in every hundred have the trouble of color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected（感染）in this matter. Perhaps, after all ,it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different kinds of color blindness. For example, a man cannot see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades (影子) of  green. Sometimes a person can’t tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky men may see everything in shades of green— a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a different thing to explain. In only one eye there are millions of very small things called “cones（錐狀細胞）” . These help us to see in the bright light and to tell differences between colors. These are also millions of “rods“（桿狀細胞），but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not colors.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes, we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night.
小題1:“Color blindness” means           in Chinese.
A. 盲目        B. 無色      C 色盲    D 討厭顏色
小題2: Some people say it’s safer to be driven by women because         .
A．women drive more carefully
B．women are better at driving than men
C．women can see things more clearly
D．there are fewer color — blind women
小題3:With the help of the “cones”, we can          .
A．tell different shapesB．kill insets
C．see in the darkD．tell orange from yellow
小題4: We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a           light.
A．redB．yellowC．blueD．green
小題5: Which of the following sentences about color blindness is TRUE?
A．None of men can see deep red.
B．Not all of men have the same problem in recognizing colors.
C．None of men can tell the difference between blue and green.
D．All of men see everything in shades of green.

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 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 own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault (過錯). 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 and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, 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.
小題1:Someone can't have a good memory if ________.
A．he can't read or write
B．his parents haven't a good memory
C．he doesn't make good use of his memory
D．he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time
小題2:If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.
A．they will become thin
B．they will become weak
C．they begin to ache all over
D．you can't use them any more
小題3:Which of the following statements is true?
A．Your memory needs chance for practice.
B．A good memory is inherited(遺傳) from parents.
C．Your memory works in the different ways as your arms or legs.
D．Don't learn to read and write if you want to have a good memory.
小題4: Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.
A．his own faultB．his parents' fault
C．his teachers' faultD．his friends' fault
小題5: The writer wants to tell us ________.
A．how to read and write well
B．how to have a good memory
C．how to use our arms or legs better
D．how to learn from the people who can't read or write
