        A little boy was playing in his sandbox on a Saturday morning.While he was building roads and houses in the soft sand, he discovered a large stone in the middle of the sandbox.

        The little boy pushed and pulled, but every time he thought he had made some progress, the stone tipped (倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox.The little boy tried his best, but his only reward was to have the stone roll back.

        Finally the boy cried.All that time the boy's father watched him from his living room window.At the moment tears fell, his father came to the boy and the sandbox.Gently but surely he said, "Son, why didn't you use all the strength that you had?" The boy said sadly, "But I did, Daddy, I did! I used all the strength that I had! No, son," corrected the father."You didn't ask me."With that, the father reached down, picked up the stone and removed it from the sandbox.

        Do you have "stones" in your life that need to be removed? Are you discovering that you are too weak to lift them? There is ONE who is always ready to give us the strength we need.Isn't it funny how we try so hard to do things on our own?

        James Ferguson once saw the inside of his father's watch, and he wondered, "Why should I not make a watch?" This set him thinking and it led to a wooden clock which kept good time.

        Walt Disney, the famous American film-maker, was often thinking of new ideas.One day, when he was in a meeting, he suddenly stopped talking, deep in thought.He looked and looked at a place high up in the room.This continued for a long time, and then he got an idea for a new cartoon.

        Ideas come at any time, and the important thing is to think.When you meet with any difficulty, don't lose heart.Try to think of it before asking someone to help you.Think and by thinking you will learn how to think creatively.

        The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers.However, there is another difference between humans and computers.Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do.No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to.But everyone can improve their memory if they want to.Here are some suggestions.

        Try to use new information immediately.For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos."Don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name.Say "________"

        Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153.But if you break it into three parts  109/244/153--it becomes easier.

        Write out what you need to remember over and over again.This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

    Always review information.If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, it becomes easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

        Discuss with a friend.It is always easier to remember things through discussions.You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

        Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory.You can always do something to help improve your memory.And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

        All the suggestions are helpful.If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

    1. (1) How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?
      A . Three. B . Four. C . Five. D . Six.
    2. (2) Which should be put in the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2?
      A . Hello, Carlos. B . How do you do? C . Hello, I am Sophia. D . Glad to meet you!
    3. (3) Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
      A . Human beings can improve their memory by computers. B . Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep. C . Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain. D . Discussing with friends can help you remember things.

        It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better jobs.In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't accepted by all people.

        Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living.This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school.People can get education for a living in a short time.Subjects like History and Geography need not be taught to everyone.Even Language and Mathematics need not be taught in detail, either.Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

        Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man.It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities.After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human.Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.

        I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

    1. (1) People with little education usually ________.
      A . spend a long time in school B . have a good chance to get a job C . spend the best years choosing jobs D . have fewer chances to get a good job

      A . accept education as a way of living B . take an interest in the whole world C . develop their abilities to make plays D . learn subjects like Language and Maths
    4. (4) The passage mainly tells us that ________.
      A . education should make a man improve B . people can get education in a short time C . people should be able to get better jobs D . all subjects are so important for a way of living
