At last she arrived at her home， as she opened the door， she noticed something unusual about Sheba， a large dog， she could see easily Sheba was feeling bad and could hardly breathe. Joanne knew she would have to take her dog to the vet at once.
“It seems there’s something in her throat，” said Dr. Stern， “It shouldn’t take me too long to get it out.”
Being in a hurry， Joanne left the dog with the doctor and rushed back home， as she once again entered the house， the telephone rang. Dr. Stern’s loud and worried voice was heard， “I want you to get out of that house right now. The police will be there soon. Wait outside for us.” Joanne was surprised and afraid. She quickly ran into the street. At that moment， a police car stopped outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house through the still open door. Then the doctor arrived， just then the two policemen reappeared from the house， half-carrying a white-faced man， who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.
“I think he must be a thief，” said the doctor， “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was in Sheba’s throat， I found it was three human fingers.”

If you don’t use your arms or your legs for some time， they will become weak； when you start using them again， they will gradually（逐渐地） become stronger again. Everybody knows this. Yet many people do not seem to know that it is the same with our memory.
If a friend says that his arms and legs 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 blame （责怪）， and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but they usually have better memories？ This is because they can not read or write and they have to remember things； they can not write them down in a little notebook. They must remember dates， names， songs and stories； so their memories are being exercised the whole time.
So if you want a good memory， learn from these people： practice remembering.
（ ）26. —What will happen to your arms or legs if you don’t use them for some time？
—They will be_________________.
A. strong B. broken C. weak D. hurt
（ ）27. What does the underlined word “fault” mean in the second paragraph？
A. 困难 B. 过错 C. 粗心 D. 聪明
（ ）28. What do many of us think of the person with a poor memory？

B. He isn’t clever.
C. He is foolish.
D. His parents are very clever.
（ ）29. Why do some people usually can’t read or write but have better memories？ Because _________________.
A. they are stronger
B. they often practice remembering things
C. they have strong arms and legs
D. their parents are good
（ ）30. What does the passage mainly （主要） talk about？

Then the doctor arrived， just then the two policemen reappeared from the house， half-carrying a white-faced man， who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.

If you don’t use your arms or your legs for some time， they will become weak； when you start using them again， they will gradually（逐渐地） become stronger again. Everybody knows this. Yet many people do not seem to know that it is the same with our memory. If a friend says that his arms and legs 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 blame （责怪）， and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but they usually have better memories？ This is because they can not read or write and they have to remember things； they can not write them down in a little notebook. They must remember dates， names， songs and stories； so their memories are being exercised the whole time.
So if you want a good memory， learn from these people： practice remembering.
