单选题Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5
questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41-45. Some people have very good memories, and can easily learn
quite long poems by heart. There are other people who can only remember things
when they have them again and again. Charles Dickens, the
famous English author, said that he could walk down any long street in London
and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men of the
world have had wonderful memories. A good memory is great help
in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he
hears when he is a small child. Some children- like boys and girls who live in
foreign countries with their parents- seem to learn two languages almost as
easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the
pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as
well. The human mind is like a camera, but it takes photograph
not only what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photograph
with a camera, there is much to do before the photograph is finished and ready
to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we
can take a picture that can remain forever in the mind. Memory
is the diary that we all carry about with us.
