问题     Advancing age means losing your hair, your waistline and your memory, right? Dana Denis is just 40 years old, but【1】she’s worried about what she calls "my rolling mental blackouts." "I try to remember something and I just blank out," she says.
    You may【2】about these lapses, calling them "senior moments" or blaming "early Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)". Is it an inescapable fact that the older you get, the【3】you remember? Well, sort of. But as time goes by, we tend to blame age【4】problems that are not necessarily age-related.
    "When a teenager can’t find her keys, she thinks it’s because she’s distracted or disorganized," says Paul Gold. "A 70-year-old blames her【5】." In fact, the 70-year-old may have been【6】things for decades.
    In healthy people, memory doesn’t worsen as【7】as many of us think. "As we【8】, the memory mechanism isn’t【9】." says psychologist Fergus Craik. "It’s just inefficient."
    The brain’s processing【10】slows down over the years, though no one knows exactly【11】. Recent research suggests that nerve cells lose efficiency and【12】there’s less activity in the brain. But, cautions Barry Gordon, "It’s not clear that less activity is【13】. A beginning athlete is winded (气喘吁吁)more easily than a【14】athlete. In the same way,【15】the brain gets more skilled at a task, it expends less energy on it."
    There are【16】you can take to compensate for normal slippage in your memory gears, though it【17】effort. Margaret Swell says: "We’re a quick-fix culture, but you have to【18】to keep your brain 【19】shape. It’s like having a good body. You can’t go to the gym once a year【20】expect to stay in top form."

选项 A、disorganizing
B、misplacing
C、putting
D、finding
答案B
解析 词汇题(词义选择)。根据上文和本空格所在的句子“In fact，the 70-year-old may have been 26 things for decades．”来看，句中的In fact(事实上)是对上一句内容的否定。即问题不在于年龄，而在于她多年来一直……东西。由此可以推断本空格需要“乱放”等类似含义。A项disorganize意为“打乱计划”，不符合题意：B项misplace意为“忘记把……放在什么地方，把……放错位置”，符合题意，为本题答案；C项put意为“放置”，不符合题意；D项find意为“找到”，不符合题意。
