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 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 (过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. 八年级英语 第 5 页 共 12 页

About 180 years ago in a small village in England, a mail coach (邮车) was standing in the street. Around the coach many people were talking about it.
At that time, mail coach did not come to that village so often. People had to pay a lot of money to get a letter. The person sending the letter did not have to pay. The person getting the letter had to pay the postage (邮资).
“Here’s a letter for Miss Alice Brown,” said the mailman. Everyone turned to a girl of about eighteen who was standing by the coach. “I’m Alice Brown,” she said in a low voice. The mailman gave her the letter.
Alice looked at the envelope for a minute, and then handed it back to the mailman. “I’m sorry I can’t take it,” she said. “I don’t have enough money to pay the postage.” The people standing around were very sorry for the girl. Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the postage for Alice’s letter.
