When you are feeling down, go for a long walk instead of going shopping. Make a grocery list and carefully plan what groceries you need for the coming week, then go to the store and buy them. Coupons can be advantageous if you buy name brand items, but store brands are often cheaper in the long run.
当你感到沮丧时，可以去散步，而不是去购物。制作一份购物清单并仔细计划下周所需的杂货，然后去商店购买。如果你购买名牌产品，优惠券可能是有利的，但从长远来看，商店品牌往往更便宜。

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 this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. 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, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.
If a friend complains that his arms 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 are to be blamed, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault. 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 better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, times and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practice remembering.
1. Which of the following is true, according to the first paragraph?
A. It is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legs.
B. To have a good memory, one has to exercise it regularly.
C. Everybody knows that memory of words is the same way as the arms or legs.
D. To keep fit, one should not sit in a chair or a motorcar.
2. In the author’s opinion, poor memory results from _____.
A. poor health B. lack of remembering practice
C. unlucky fortune D. insufficient education
3. The author seems to advice us _______.
A. to play tennis to improve our memory
B. to complain about nothing but our health
C. to blame ourselves rather than our parents for the poor memory
D. to learn from those who cannot read or write
4. The author comes to the conclusion that ______.
A. the poorer one is, the better his memory
B. memory can be improved by practicing it
C. the poor and humble people may help you remember things
D. if you want a good memory, do not read or write anything
5. Which of the following may best serve as the title of the article?
A. Poor and Good Memory.
B. How to Improve Your Memory.
C. Your Arms, Legs and Brain.
D. Learn from the Poor and Humble.

A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich.
