My parents divorced when I was 8 years old. Their marriage was a mistake of World War II. And about 50 years ago, I was the only child I knew who didn't have a father at home on Father's Day. Divorce was very uncommon back then.
So when my friends were in town shopping for presents for their fathers, I decided since my mother was both Mother and Father, no one else was like her, who better deserved(be worth) a present on Father's Day than her?
I bought her a little set of tools, just a few things, hammer, pliers(鉗子) and screwdriver(螺絲起子) and a box to put all these things in. I got some ideas from my grandfather and named it Mother's Tool Box. She was excited, more at the thought of being cared for on Father's Day than of the present. She always said she liked her Father's Day memories better than the Mother's Day ones. It made her feel special — and she was. I have noticed in the past few years, greeting cards are even made for "Mother on Father's Day". Ever since then, my mother has got cards on Father’s Day. By the way, she knew just how to use those tools and others she had ever used over the years.
小題1:Which sentence shows that divorce was very uncommon at that time?
A．My parents divorced when I was 8 years old.
B．My parents’ marriage was a mistake of World War II.
C．My mother has got cards on Father’s Day.
D．I was the only child who didn’t have a father at home on Father’s Day.
小題2:What did the writer decide to do when he saw friends shopping for Father’s Day presents?
A．Go shopping with his friends.
B．Buy a present for his mother.
C．Help his mother.
D．Ask his grandfather for help.
小題3:“Hammer, pliers and screwdriver” are probably things __________.
A．more often used by men
B．that cost a lot of money
C．very popular at that time
D．that his mother liked most
小題4:Mother was excited because __________.
A．she was very interested in the tool box
B．she was deeply loved by her child
C．she saw the name on the tool box
D．she knew how to use the things
小題5:Why did Mother feel special?
A．She had more Father’s Day memories.
B．She had only one child.
C．She was both Mother and Father.

There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are many kinds of useful ways as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain(大腦) to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are sleep, Your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.
