Technically, it was not a
27、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 an attractive set of coaster. And technically, I didnt completely freeze my fish. Rather, I absent-mindedly tossed them into the refrigerator with a
28、 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
29、 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 wouldnt cut it. What I needed was some kind of memory pill. The big bat in the memory-pill lineu
30、p 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
31、 to put this? not kidding. Its 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 didnt mean I was hop
32、eless 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 wont meet an Alex at a
33、party and find myself calling him Man or Alvin or Evelyn.（分数：10.00）(1).The writer became aware of her memory problem when she realized that she had _.A. forgotten to feed her fish B. forgotten to freeze her fishC. misplaced a bag of dinner fish D. misplaced a bag of tropical fish（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2)
