问题     Most episodes of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are 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 slighdy 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 or write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.
    Another common episode of absent-mindedness is 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’ll likely remember.
A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because______.
选项 A、it will easily get lost
B、it’s not clear enough for you to read
C、it’s out of your sight
D、it might get mixed up with other things
答案C
解析 细节题。本题是问把便条放在口袋中为什么很难起到提醒的作用?根据关键词a note in the pocket定位到第四段的最后一句，意为不要把药瓶子放在箱子里也不要写张便条放在口袋里。究其缘由，是因为视觉提示可以防止健忘(visual cuescan help prevent absent-mindedness)。言外之意，即看不见的东西容易忘记。所以题干中的a note in the pocket可以替换选项C中的out of sight。
