Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners， but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.

Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back， she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.

Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memorycan be improved. If you’ll just accept that， the following will show you how.

First， relax. If you are over worried about remembering something， you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad， your mind will come to believe it and you won’tremember things. When you forget something， don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh， my God! Ialways forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.

But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory， you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body， your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example， if you’re learning a language， try to actively remember a lot of newwords.

If you don’t take notice of things actively， you won’t remember them. So， you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example， don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again， make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

1. The first two paragraphs just tell us ________.

A. Barbara was a very rich person

B. Mark often forgot his friends’ names

C. examples of memory problems

D. language problems of two persons

2.When you forget things， you ________.

A. must be too careless

B. shouldn’t lose heart about your memory

C. must accept the fact

D. shouldn’t take notice of the result

3.The word “opportunities” in the fifth paragraph means “________”.

A. places B. activities C. positions D. chances

4.According to the passage， ________ can make your memory better.

A. realizing your memory problems

B. talking to your friends

C. making mind pictures of what you see

D. doing sports every day

A businessman, who was very fond of music, was asked by a poor widow to give her some help. Her husband, who was a musician, had died, and left her very poor indeed.

The businessman saw that the widow and her daughter, who was with her, were in great distress. He looked with pity into their pale faces, and was sure that their sad story was true.

“How much do you want, my good woman?” said the businessman.

“Five dollars will save us,” said the poor widow, with some hesitation, after she thought for a few seconds.

The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and gave it to the widow with the words, “Take it to the bank you see on the other side of the street.”

The widow thanked the man, and then quickly walked to the bank with her daughter, without stopping to read the note. The banker at once counted out fifty dollars instead of five, and passed them to the window.

She was amazed when she saw so much money. “Sir, there is a mistake here.” she said. “You have given me fifty dollars, and I asked for only five.”

The banker then looked at the note once more, and said, “The check calls for fifty dollars.”

The banker then asked her to wait a few minutes, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the note.

“Yes,” said the businessman, when he had heard the banker’s story, “I did make a mistake. I wrote fifty instead of five hundred. Give the poor widow five hundred dollars, for such honesty is poorly rewarded (獎賞) with even that sum.”

A. has lost her husband

A. thought she would get five dollars

B. stopped to read the note

A. A poor family B. A pale face

C. A sad story D. A music lover

4. From the story we know that the businessman was ________.

A. rich and generous

B. poor and honest

C. warm-hearted but careless

D. polite but helpless

5.The businessman’s last sentence at the end of the story means _________.

A. the banker should give the widow some money to reward her for her honesty.

B. he felt better if he gave the widow fifty dollars instead of five hundred
