Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists（科学家） think that one day animals may be taught to do some easy jobs. They say that in a film or on TV. We may see elephants（大象）, monkeys, dogs, bears or other animals doing a lot of thins. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do lots of jobs if they know they will get something to eat.

We all know elephants can carry large logs（木头） and dogs can look after houses. And we can also teach animals to work in factories. Apes（猿猴）, for example（例如）, have been used in America to help make cars, and scientists believe（相信） that these large monkeys may one day get in crops and drive trains. People are training（训练）them to do those things. 根据短文内容，选择正确的答案。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will 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 own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), 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 usually 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 small 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: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.

( ) 51.Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.

A. he can’t read or write B. he doesn’t use his memory C. his parents haven’t a good memory D. he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time

( )52. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______.

A. you can’t use them any more B. they will become stronger C. they become weak but they slowly become strong again

( )53. Which of the following is TRUE ?

A. Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs

B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not

give it enough chance for practice

C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory

D. A good memory comes from less practice

( )54. Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.

A. his own fault B. his parents’ fault C. his teachers’ fault D. his grandmother’s fault

( )55. The writer wants to tell us ________.

The world’s forests become smaller and smaller . People are still cutting down the trees . Why is this happening ? There are two reasons —— land and wood .

People need land for animals and crops . People want wood , too . People in every country need wood .Wood is used for buildings or made into furniture .

But most places in the forests are not good for animals or crops . The soil in the forests is very thin . When trees are cut down , the soil is washed away by rain or blown away by wind . Soon there is nothing left but sand . Then more land will be needed and more trees will be cut down .

Who can we blame (责备) for the lost forests ? The answer is : all of us .
