我有时对自己丢三落四的毛病简直到了痛心疾首的地步。大冬天为了多睡一会儿，上班踩着点出门时，忽然找不到眼镜的惊慌；上课前十分钟，忽然找不到已经备好课的课本讲义时的抓狂；下班后拖着沉重的双腿走到家门口，却找不到钥匙的崩溃；再想想，......
所以当在为周练试卷搜题时看到这篇文章，毫不犹豫就采用了。
我应该不是注意缺陷多动障碍ADHD的患者，但是文中提到的干预方法应该也适用于健忘症的我。
原文如下：
Can't find your keys again? Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) makes people tend to put things places and not remember where they put them. This problem is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day or who can't find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun. It's a common occurrence and certainly annoying. _36_
又找不到你的钥匙了吗？注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）使人们倾向于把东西放在某地方，而不记得放在何处。这个问题对于那些手机每天丢失十几次，或者在一个最喜欢的节目开始后十分钟才找到电视遥控器的人来说，可能都很熟悉的。这很常见，当然也很烦人。
36 选F Here is some advice about how to cope with the situation caused by misplacing things.（引出下文，主旨句）
这里有一些关于如何处理由随意搁置物品所造成的情况的一些建议。
When you put something down, say its location. _37_ You'd say, "I'm setting my mouse to the right of my computer." And saying that, either in your mind or out loud, focuses your attention on where you put it, upping the odds that you'll remember its location later.
当你放下某样东西时，说出它的位置。_37_ 你就说，“我把鼠标设置在电脑的右边。” 这样说，无论是在你的脑海中还是大声说，把你的注意力集中在你放在哪里，增加你以后记住它的位置的可能性。
37 选 G 注意你的东西所在的位置的一种方法是用语言表达你的意思。（根据前一句说出它的位置和后面say可知。）
Invest in technology. There are many tools designed to keep track of items. _38_ There are also objects you can put in your wallet or purse that will ring when you press a button on either another object or a phone app.
投入技术。有许多工具被设计用来跟踪物品。_38_还有一些东西你可以放在钱包里，当你按下另一个物体或手机应用程序上的按钮时，它们就会响起来。
38 选 C 把一个跟踪器连接到你经常乱放物品的地方，它会引导你到它的位置。
Set up a routine. That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home or distributing one drawer as the scissors drawer. Then, at the end of the day scan the areas where you've been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots. _39_
设置例程。这可能意味着在前门放一个篮子，你一回家就立即把钥匙和钱包放下来，或者专门分配一个抽屉作为剪刀抽屉。然后，在一天结束时，扫视一下你曾经去过的地方，找到那些需要被带回家的东西，并把它们送回它们所在的地方。
39 选 A 同样的建议也适用于你的办公室和汽车等地方。
Take a breath. If you’ve misplaced something, give your brain a minute or two. _40_ But if you keep beating yourself up about it, you're less likely to be able to focus and keep track of your possessions. So, remember to be kind to yourself.
一次（深）呼吸。如果你把东西放错了地方，给你的大脑一两分钟。_40_ 但是如果你一直为此而自责不已，你就不太可能集中注意力并跟踪你的财物。所以，记住要善待自己。
40 选 E 如果你对自己乱搁置物品的倾向感到沮丧，这当然是可以理解的。
A. The same advice applies to places like your office and car.
B. Turn keeping track of your items into an opportunity to be creative.
C. Attach a tracker to what you often misplace, and it will guide you to its location.
D. Here are some measures that can make you put something back where it belongs.
E. It's certainly understandable if you're frustrated with your tendency to misplace things.
F. Here is some advice about how to cope with the situation caused by misplacing things.
G.One way to be mindful of where your things are is to express where you put them in words.
答案 36-40 FGCAE
最后总结
1.当你放下某样东西时，说出它的位置，加深印象。
2.买个跟踪器，连接到你手机APP，或经常乱放物品的地方，它会引导你到它的位置。
3. 不同物品的放置位置固定化，如钥匙放到进门的篮子里，剪刀放在一固定抽屉里。
4. 善待自己，一时找不到物品不要急躁，不要自责，深吸一口气，慢慢去想，总会找到的，也许可能说不定三五天或一个月后。
好吧，按照建议，试一试！希望一切有所改观。只是对于第二点，我有个疑惑，万一手机，钥匙和跟踪器一起丢了，那咋办呢？
