If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become 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 become strong.

  If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak.we know that it is his fault(過錯).But if he tells us that he has a poor memory.many of us think that his parents are to blame(責備), 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.

   Plants are very important  1    things. Life could not go  2    if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. But animals and man cannot  3    so. Animals get their food by eating plants and  4    animals. Man gets its food by eating plants and animals too.  5    animals and man  6    plants in order to  7    . This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

   If you look  8    at the plants around you, you will find that there are many types of plants. Some plants are large,  9    others are small.  10    plants are green. There are two sorts(種類)of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不開花的)plants.

   Flowering plants have roots(根),stems(莖),leaves, flowers and fruits(果子).  11    all the trees around us are flowering plants. Flowering plants  12    make seeds(種子). The sends  13 by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds  14    .  15    example of a fruit  16    seeds is banana fruit.

   Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores are small. Some spores are  17    small and  18    that they can float(漂浮) 19     the air. We may say that spores are quite different from seeds. When these spores  20    on wet and shady(陰涼的)places, they usually grow into plants.
