问题    "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.
Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important?
选项 A、It expands our memory capacity considerably.
B、It helps us understand our memory system better.
C、It slows down the process of losing our memory.
D、It enables us to recall something from our memory.
答案D
解析 事实细节题。解题的依据是第二段的开头两句话“‘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(斯彻克特解释说，‘编码是一种把注意力放在一件事情上的特殊方式，它对稍后的回想起着主要的作用。’无法做到恰当的编码的话，会导致令人恼火的情况出现) ”。根据第一句话，我们可以看出，编码之所以重要是由于它对回想所起的作用。四个选项中，与这一点的叙述相一致的显然是D) 。
