Failure to encode properly can create an annoying situation. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conversation, youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe(衣柜). “Your memory itself isnt failing you, ” says Schacter. “Rather, you didnt give your memory system the information it needed. ”Lack of interest can also lead to absent­mindedness. “A man who recites sports statistics from 30 years ago, ”says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memory than men, possibly because they are more interested in whats happening around them, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues(提示) can help prevent absent­mindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available, ”he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen tabledont leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent­mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why youre there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time, ” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and youll likely remember.4What does the underlined word “episodes” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AExperiences.BExperiments.CExpressions. DFeelings.5According to the passage, women have better memory than men probably because_Athey have a wider range of interestsBthey always put things where they wereCthey pay more attention to their environmentDthey prefer to write notes to tell themselves what they should do6What can help prevent absent­mindedness according to Schacter?AWriting notes.BTaking some medicine.CPutting something in sight.DReturning to where you were.7What is the best title for the text?AA Way of RecallingBThe Importance of EncodingCCures for Absent­mindednessDCauses and Coping Strategies of Absent­mindedness .完形填空(2017·太原二模)Life in the Slow LaneI always seemed to be rushing through my life.
