The ostrich (鸵鸟) is the largest bird in the world. From far away, it looks more like a camel than a
bird. It has a long neck, long legs and a walk like a camel. Its eyes are very large and sharp. Like the
camel, the ostrich can go for a long time without water. It lives in sandy desert, too.
Its wings are too short for flying, but they do help the ostrich to run fast. The wind gets under the
wings and lifts the bird off the ground. In this way, it can take very long steps. An ostrich can run faster
than a horse.
Ostriches are big and strong, but sometimes they do not seem very smart. When they are afraid, they
run around in circles.
Ostrich eggs are large. The shells are very strong. They are so strong that they can be used for cups
and bowls. |

If you do not use your arm 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 (记忆力),
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 are to blame (受责备), 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 and they have to remember things they can write
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: Practice remembering. |

| 3. Which of the following is NOT true? |
[ ] |
A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.
B. Your memory, like your arms or legs,
becomes weak if you don"t give it enough chance for practice.
C. Don"t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.
D. A good memory comes from more practice. |

When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend for new clothes. Then look

Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs.
When other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they ran, too. They know there is danger. The
rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.
Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee finds some food, it goes back to his home.
It can"t tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does dance in the air. This tells
the bees where the food is.
But animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for examples, when a stranger comes near.
A cat purrs (发出呼噜呼噜的声音) when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with
its own meaning.
But human beings have something that no animals have-a large number of words about things, actions,
feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information to tell or inform other people what is in our
mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remind ourselves of the things that have happened,
or send messages to people far away. No animals can do this. No animals has the wonderful power of
language.
No one knows how man learned to make words. Somehow he learned to make them. As centuries
went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.
People in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred
different languages in the world. A very large English dictionary, for examples, contains four or five
hundred thousand words. But we don"t know all these. The words we know are called vocabulary. We
should try to make our vocabulary larger. Read as many books as possible. When we met a new word,
look it up in the dictionary. A dictionary is the most useful book. | | 1. What"s the meaning of the underlined word? | | [ ] | A. 标语
