Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus
lots of people’s favorite drinks. The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more
than enough of everything, and that someone can help you carry it!

tapas, so they don’t get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with

Each nation has many good people who take care of others. For example, some of high school
students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or home for the
aged. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or
listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean
up, or repair their house, do the shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is
an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on
fishing trips and help them to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go and play games or learn crafts. Some of
these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of
interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are
young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.
Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring
happiness to others.

Text 4

Your mind's ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory. There are two
kinds of remembering, recall and recognition. For instance, you may not be able to recall the
poem you read yesterday in class, but if you see it again, you will know it instantly because
you recognize it.
Some few people have 'total recall,' often spoken of as photographic memory. A person with
total recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read only once, or playa musical
composition after hearing it once. This is very unusual, however, and most people have
difficulty in remembering even names they heard the day before. This is not because most
people lack the ability to remember, but because they had not paid much attention to what
they heard. They felt no personal reasons to remember. Having a personal reason for
remembering is one of the most important factors in a good memory.
When you have a strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you read or listen, and try to
connect the new information to things you I already know. A detail is easy to remember
when it fits into a whole that makes sense. If you understand the entire history lesson before
you try to remember any particular dates, your memory may surprise you.

1. While not directly stated, it may be inferred from the article that ________.
A. details are more easily remembered by fitting them into a whole
B. recall and recognition are the same thing
C. wanting to do a thing is very important to being able to do it
D. if he will try hard enough, one man can remember as well as Mother
2. This article as a whole tells us about ________.
A. people who can remember whole pages C. our memory and how to
improve it
B. recognition and recall D. people who can't remember
names
3. A person with photographic memory is ________.
A. can only remember things if he looks at a photograph C. can be found in mental
hospitals
B. brings his camera everywhere he goes D. can remember every detail of what he
sees or hears
4. One way to improve our memory is ________
A. to ask other people to repeat something you want to remember.
B. to have a camera with you all the time
C. to concentrate on what you hear or read
D. to learn everything by heart
5. Which sentence is not true?
A. If you can't remember things, you have no memory.
8
 B. Recognition and recall are the two kinds of memory.
C. Total recall is remembering something in its entirely.
D. A person can remember anything better if he has a strong reason for doing it.
