问题     It was the day I froze a household pet that I began to worry about my memory. Technically, it was not a real household pet I froze but a bag of tropical fish, which on the scale of beloved members of any home, rank somewhere below the family cat and above all attractive set of coasters. And technically, I didn’t completely freeze my fish. Rather, I absent-mindedly tossed them into the refrigerator with a bag of other things I had bought and fortunately found them just before my highly sensitive tropical fish could turn into lightly breaded dinner fish.
    Nonetheless, that near-death experience--for the fish, if not for me--woke me up to the fact that my memory might not be all it once was.
    In the hope of improving my memory, I decided I would first try the memory books. However, much of what I read was, at first blush, utterly forgettable.
    If I was truly going to juice up my recall, however, book reading wouldn’t cut it.  What I needed was some kind of memory pill. The big bat in the memory--pill lineup is ginkgo biloba, the dried leaf of the maidenhair tree, thought to improve circulation and, in theory, memory. I decided to try it. The package warned that in addition to any other problems, ginkgo can cause "mild stomach discomfort". After just one pill, I discovered that the package was--how best to put this? --not kidding. It’s hard to say if my memory improved in the little time I was on ginkgo, but I can say I had no trouble at all remembering to eat a tasteless diet for several days afterward.
    For me, the answer to memory problems was not in the medicine chest, but that didn’t mean I was a hopeless case. My recall had improved after two weeks in the memory-improvement battle. I may not be able to read a magazine and instantly memorize it, but I now remember to buy it when I get to the store. I may not be able to memorize hundreds of names and faces, but at least I won’t meet an Alex at a party and find myself calling him Alan or Alvin or Evelyn.
选项 A、forgotten to feed her fish
B、misplaced a bag of tropical fish
C、misplaced a bag of dinner fish
D、forgotten to freeze her fish
答案B
解析 这是一道细节题。文章第一段第一句说“It was the day I froze a household pet that I began to worry about my memory．”且从下文可知这里的“household pet”指的是一袋热带鱼，可以知道作者是在发现自己将热带鱼和其他食品放错时意识到她的记忆问题的。故答案为B。
