Its neck bone may be 1.9 metres long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones(骨) in its neck, the same number as in the human(人类). Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffes neck is very long, while the bones in a human neck are small. That makes the difference. A female (雌的) giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.6. In this passage the underlined word giraffe means _.A.鲸鱼 B.长颈鹿 C.大象 D.恐龙7.

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(机会) 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(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they can write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.11. The main reason(主要原因) for one with poor memory is that .A. his father or mother may have a poor memory B. he does not use his arms or legs for some timeC. his memory is not often used D. he cant read or write12. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, .A. you cant use them any more B. they will become strongerC. they become weak and wont become strong until you use them againD. they will not change13.

Dont learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.D. A good memory comes from more practice.14. Some people cant read or write, but they usually have better memories, because .A. they have saved much trouble B. they have saved much time to remember thingsC. they have to use their memories all the time D. they cant write everything in a little notebook15. Give a best title(标题) for this passage.A. Dont stop using Your Arms or Legs B. How To Have a Good MemoryC. Strong Arms and Good Memories D.
