If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the 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 exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.

If a friend complains that his arms 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 be blamed, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means——practice.

Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, times and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practice remembering.

Everybody looked ________ at the sick boy.A.sadlyB.sadC.unhappyD.worried

Movie fans know that their action hero Superman does not really fly.And,in the movie Superman Returns,another visual trick is played on viewers.The man they see flying is not real.He is what is called a virtual actor.The first step in creating this digital actor is to have a real person stand in a room called a light stage.A computer then captures the outlines and shapes of his face and records how they throw off light .Paul Debevec is with the Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California.

“We can light them with very specially computer-controlled illumination(照明)and take photos of them from seven different viewpoints with high quality digital still cameras.”

Mr.Debevec is part of a team working to create computerized images of people,objects and environments that look and act real.The light stage permits actors to be turned into digital versions of themselves much like the blue creatures in the movie Avatar.The real world could soon be using a similar technology.Computer experts at the Institute are developing a 3-D video teleconferencing system.It would send a video image of a person into a meeting room.That image would be able to work with the people in the room,who would see it in 3-D without special eyeglasses.Paul Debevec says:

“The person who is being transmitted to a remote location can actually look around at the people in the room and everybody in that room knows who they’re looking at .And that’s such a fundamental part of human communication.”

He believes the business world will begin to use3-D video teleconferencing in the next five years.”It’s also a medium with which young people today are particularly comfortable,”he said.A demonstration of an interaction between an earthquake survivor and students may be possible in a year.In 10 years,we may be able to play 3-D video games without special glasses.
