PART II
In the paragraph below, some of the underlined
pronouns are correct and some are not. After each underlined pronoun is a
number. If the pronoun it marks is correct, mark C by the corresponding number
in the list below the passage. If the pronoun it marks is incorrect, mark I
beside the number in the list.
Memory
treats people differently according to their personalities. For Jerry and me,
it smooths over the rocky spots of our past, and makes us feel as if us two
have lived charned lives. But it works differently for someone who expects
thing to go perfectly for them all the time. My parents are like that. Their
friends and them are always complaining about how things ought to have been.
Everyone in their crowd acts as if life has cheated them. Mom and dad even
talked that way during the big anniversary party jerry and me threw for his
parents and they.
I'm just
the opposite. For instance, I can remember the fact of someone who once loaned
me their bike when I needed to get home fast for some emergency, but I can't
remember what the emergency was all about. When people tell me their
recollections of various events in my life, I'm always amazed at how my mind
simply refuses to hold on to the unpleasant parts. But everybody has her own
memory quirks. If a person wants to keep all the facts of their life straight,
she should keep a daily journal. Even then, what the person writes in a journal
at the end of 2-day depends on their memory, which is already busy rearranging
the details. Nobody can expect to control her memory completely. If I can't
control mine, I'm glad it does out pleasant images for me instead of the dismal
kind my parents have to live with for the rest of their lives.
