3. Read through the passage given below and answer the questions that
follow:
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time they become
weak, when you start using them again, they become strong. Everybody
knows this, yet there are many people, who do not seem to know that the
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 exercising it
regularly consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his
memory is poor, it means that he has not given it enough opportunity to
become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of
whom exercises his limbs and the other sits in a chair all day. If a friend
complains that his hands are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells.
us that he has a poor memory, we. Consider him unlucky. Few of us realize
that it is just as much his own fault as if 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 their memories better than those who
can? Why is this? Of course those who cannot read or write have to
remember things; they cannot write them down in their notebooks.
They have to remember dates, time, names, songs. And stories, so their
memory is constantly being exercised. Those who want to have a good
memory have to learn this lesson from the humble and the illiterate.
