21、Some people have good memories and can learn very long articles by heart very easily. Maybe they read the articles just a few times, they will remember them by heart. Others can only remember things after hearing many times. Charles Dickens, a famous English writer, said he could remember every name of the shops after he walked by them. Many of the great men in the world have good memories.

A good memory can help people to learn a language well, especially (特别地) for students. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he heard when he was a small child. Some children whose parents speak different languages seem to learn two languages as easily as one. In schools, it’s not easy to learn a foreign language, because students have so little time for it. At the same time they are busy with other lessons, too. Seeing, hearing, reading and speaking are the best ways of learning languages. As students, if we want to learn English well,we must practice listening, speaking, reading and writing as much as possible.

A man’s mind is just like a camera (照相机), but it takes photos of what we see. It can also take photos of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there’s much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way, there’s much work before we can keep a picture in our minds.

22、As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” trend (趋势) in the U. S. continues to grow.

“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married(已婚的) six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling(努力) to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was very worried about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course; I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living.

23、   Central Park is New York’s largest park. It’s in Manhattan. It was built in 1857.

People in New York love Central Park. In summer, they run, walk, and have picnics there. Sometimes they go fishing or even ride horses. It’s also a popular place to do tai chi. In winter, people ice-skate there.

Central Park has lots of statues and fountains (喷泉), so it’s fun for birds. 251 kinds of birds live there. Other animals live there too. Some of them live in the zoo. Some live in the trees or grass.
