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 author seems to suggest that we should______.
选项
A、complain about nothing but our health
B、play tennis to exercise our arms and legs
C、blame ourselves rather than our parents for a poor memory
D、learn from those who cannot read or write for a better memory
答案
C
解析
本题为推理题。解题的关键在于文章第二段中提到的“…and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak.”。从这个句子可以看出 作者提醒人们“记忆力不佳是自己的过错,就好像人们的胳膊、腿不强健一样,是因为缺乏锻炼。”选项A说只能抱怨身体不好,完全背离原文意思。选项B说通过打网球来锻炼四肢,作者在第一段提到有人通过打网球来锻炼四肢,但不是给读者提出的建议,故不正确。选项D提到向那些不会读书和写字的人学习,获取较好的记忆力,属于断章取义,也不正确。因此选项C.blame ourselves rather than our parents for a poor memory才是作者所要表达的意思,所以是正确答案。
