Have you ever been embrassed because of forgetting something important. Most people have. And, what is worse, most people have resigned themselves to a life of forgetfulness.

【翻译】你是否因为忘记了一些重要的事情而烦恼过？大多数人都是如此。更糟糕的是，大部分人已经习惯了健忘的生活。

【分析】本题应该选择forgetfulness。

forgetfulness 和 forgetting 的区别是：

虽然都可以用作名词，但前者表示抽象意义（“健忘”是一种生理障碍），而后者虽然具有名词意义，但强调“遗忘”这种动作行为，带有偶然性、一次性。相比而言，前者含有习惯意义。
