that autumn. one evening in mid december snow began to fall. when we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing, we all cheered. it was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited. we could hardly wait for the snow to stop so that we could go out to play. next morning when we woke up, it was still snowing. we switched on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had fallen during the night and that since the roads were blocked there would be no school that day. we jumped up and down for joy and begged mother to let us go outside to play in the snow. she said we could go out after breakfast if we dressed ourselves warmly and promised to come back as soon as we felt cold. when we went out, the snow had almost stopped. the roads, paths, gardens, and playing grounds were all hidden under a white blanket of soft snow. it was the most beautiful sight we had ever seen. just then, we saw some neighbors children coming out to play. we ran over to join them.

conscious（自覺(jué)的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. but even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. one morning last week, for example, i got up and found that i had left the front door unlocked all night, yet i clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.memory “trick” work the other way as well. once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. one day last month, for example, i was sitting in a barber shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly i realized that i had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.we always seem to find something funny and amusing（有趣的）in incidents caused by peoples forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. there are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble.36. if you want to have a good memory, .a. you should force yourself to remember thingsb. you should make a conscious effort of practice and exercisec. you should never stop learningd. you should try hard to remember things37. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. one night the writer forgot to lock the front door.b. one night the writer forgot having locked the front door.c. the writer remembered to lock the door.d. the

naturald. the way to protect yourself from memory “tricks”40. the best title for this passage is .a. how to get a good memory b. “tricks” of memoryc. forgetfulness and absent-mindedness is dangerousd. get rid of absent-mindednessc it is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. they say that their parents dont understand them. they often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand. it is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. for example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. it is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. older people worry more easily. most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. when you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it. young people often make their parents angry with their choice in clothes, in entertainment and in musicbut they do not mean to cause any trouble: it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been acceptedthats why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy. sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. all you want is to be felt alone and do what you like. it is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents control. if you plan to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. if your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do. u36. _ are to blame for the quarrels between parents
