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 using his memory．When someone else says that his
memory is poor，he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong．
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 they
are using their memory all the time．
So if you want to have a good memory，learn from the people：practise remembering．
38．The main reason for one’s poor memory is that__________．
A．his memory is not often used B．he doesn’t use his arms or legs for long
C．he has to remember too many things D．he can’t read or write at all

A．they use their arms and legs more often B．they can remember things more easily
C．they are better at learning from others D．they have to keep their memories in more use
