If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they bee weak; when you start using them again, they slowly bee 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 bee strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his 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 that some people can't read or write but they 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 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: practise remembering.

(答案→)D
解析：本文论述了我们对记忆力的好坏应有个清楚的认识，记忆力差的人并非天生就记忆力不好，而是没有让大脑得到充分的利用。文中以不会写不会读的人为例来论证这个观点，他们就是没有把他们的思想写在纸上，而他们却充分利用了大脑。
【小题1】这是细节理解题。根据If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they bee weak; when you start using them again, they slowly bee strong again.胳膊和腿不用就会变得没有劲了，等你在用时就又有劲了，故选D。
【小题2】这是细节理解题。根据they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.他们不会写不会读，但是他们却一直在用脑去记，故选B。
【小题3】这是细节理解题。根据When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to bee strong.有不好的记忆力的人，其实是没有让大脑得到充分的锻炼，故选D。
【小题4】这是标题归纳题。根据最后几句，可以看出应选A。
