　　Mrs. Cousins was a famous musician several years ago. She taught music at a college and some of her students succeeded in their business. They can't forget the professor and praise her when they win prizes. Now the old woman stays at home with her husband. The old man looks after his wife well and she is never worried about anything. She often receives some presents on her birthday or at Christmas and she's satisfied with all.

　　In common with some old people, she finds her memory is failing. Sometimes she forgets what she did or will do. It often gets her in trouble. Her husband has noticed it and advised her to go to see a famous neurologist (神经病学家) who lives in the capital. He bought two tickets for London and told her to put them into her handbag while she was playing the piano.

　　The next morning when they reached the airport in the nick of time (刚来得及)to catch their plane, Mrs. Cousins said, “I wish we'd brought the piano with us.”

　　“Don't be stupid, dear!” said Mr. Cousins. “We're not going to hold a concert, but to see a doctor.”
