But one day, when they were swimming, a shark (鲨鱼) swam to Sam and pulled the poor young man to the bottom (海底). Mike heard him calling for help. And swam towards him in a hurry, but it was too late. The shark had swallowed Sam. Mike was very sad and returned to his city alone. On the train, he thought hard. Sam’ s mother had a heart disease (心脏病) . He didn’t know how to tell her about the bad news. At last he found a way. He asked his friend Robert who worked in a hospital to go there with him.

Some people have very good memories, and can easily remember long poems（诗歌）by heart. There are other people. They can only remember things when they see or hear them again and again.
The famous English writer, Charles Dickens, said that he could walk down a long street in London and tell you the name of every shop he had passed(经过). Many of the great men like Charles Dickens in the world have great memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by(通过)remembering what he hears when he is a small child. Some people don’t live in their own country, and they seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other lessons, too.
A man’s mind is quite like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture for ever in our minds. Memory is the diary we all carry with us.
