问题     If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When some one says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough practice. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a car all day.
    If a friend complains that his arms 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, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means — practice.
    Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a notebook. They have to remember dates, times, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is always being exercised.
    So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practise remembering.
The most appropriate title for the passage would be______.
选项 A、Poor and Good Memory
B、Your Arms, Legs and Brain
C、How to Improve Your Memory
D、Learn from the Poor and Humble
答案C
解析 本题是文章主旨题，要求给文章选取最贴切的标题。选项A表达的“差记忆力与好记忆力”只是文章中谈到的一个问题，不能代表全文。选项B表达的“胳膊、腿和大脑”文章中都提到了，但只是谈论的对象并不是文章的主题。选项C表达的“如何改善你的记忆力”才是文章要表达的中心思想。选项D表达的“向贫穷和卑微的人学习”只是作者要说明即便是文盲也能有很好的记忆力。此外，作者从文章开头就力图说明“大多数人不了解记忆力就好像人的胳膊和腿一样都需要锻炼。”
