If you don’t use your arms or your legs for some time ,they will become weak ; when you start using them again ,they will gradually (逐渐地)become stronger again .Everybody knows this .Yet many people do not seem to know that it is the same with memory .When someone says that he has a good memory ,he really means that he doesn't give it enough chance to become stronger.
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 ,and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found some people can’t read or write but they usually have better memories This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things ; they cannot write them down in a little notebook .They must remember dates ,names ,songs and stories ; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want a good memory ,learn from these people :practise remembering .
