Once there lived an old man in a town. He always forgot a lot of things. So his wife always had to say to him，“Don't forget this.”

    One day he went on a long way alone. Before he left home，his wife said，“Now you have all these things. You need them on your way. Take care of your things on the way.” He went to the station. He bought a ticket and got on the train with it.

   About an hour later，the conductor began to see the tickets. He came to the old man and said，“Will you please show me your ticket?” The old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets but he could not find it. He was very worried.“I can't find my ticket. I really bought a ticket before I got on the train ” said the old man.

   “I think you are right. I believe you bought a ticket. All right，you don't have to buy another ticket ” said the conductor kindly. But the old man still(仍然) looked worried and said sadly，“You don't know why I'm worried. If I don't find my ticket，I can't remember my station. Where am I going? ”

A jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the form to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you are not living.
