(答案→)B
解析：如果忘事怎么办呢？第一，放松身心。第二，避免消极。你要积极应对，尽可能要把你想记住的和你已经知道的事情联系起来。
【小题1】考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前一句的意思是Mark开始向观众介绍嘉宾，但是他在恐怖中停顿了一下。后面应该是害怕的原因，所以选B （他忘记了她的名字。）。
【小题2】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据空前介绍的另一个人也是忘了藏起来的珠宝。，后面又说大多数人有过类似的经历。所以选C（也许你有过这样的经历。）。
【小题3】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据空前的意思：第一，放松身心。如果你着急想起什么，你会忘记它。空后提到深呼吸，告诉自己你有的是时间来记住。与G（放松将帮助改善您的认识和集中精力的能力。）所表达的意思前后连贯。
【小题4】考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前的意思是：像你的身体，你的记忆可以通过锻炼加强。空后面是举例说明：如果你正在学习一种语言，努力记住不规则动词。所以选D（寻找机会来锻炼你的记忆。）。
【小题5】考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前的意思是：联想飞机有两个翅膀和两点结合起来，与F（现在你比以前更容易十倍地记住起飞时间。）前后意思连贯。
