"Most episodes of absent-mindedness-forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room--axe caused by a simple lack of attention," says Schacter, "You’re supposed to remember something but you haven’t encoded it deeply. ’
"Encoding," Schacter explains, "is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later." Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜) . "Your memory itself isn’t failing you", says Schacter, "Rather you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed. "
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. "A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago", says Zelinski, "may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox. ’ Women have slightly better memories than men possibly because they pay more attention to their environment and memory relies on just that.
"Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness," says Schacter, "But be sure the cue is clear and available", he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table--don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.
Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’ re 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 you’ Il likely remember.
What do we learn from the last paragraph?
选项
A、Repetition helps improve our memory.
B、Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.
C、If we focus our attention on one thing we might forget another.
D、If we keep forgetting things we’d better return to where we were.
答案
C
解析
主旨大意题。最后一段主要讲述人们心不在焉的另一种情况并提出了解决办法。人们经常会走进房间而忘记了自己要做什么。这里左林斯基给出的建议是“The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room and you’ll likely remember”,也就是说退回原处会有助于回忆起你要做的事,但是这种情况的原因是由于你在想着别的事情。A) 、B) 在文中没有提到,D) 很容易被选择,但是它表示的条件If we keep forgetting things与段落中的walking into a room and wondering why you’re there并不是一回事,所以不对。
