A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory,which made him famous.He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence.His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings,his classes-even his meals!Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice,at home and at school.His wife liked to remind her neighbors, "If John didn't have his head tied on,he would forget that too!" Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university,his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him.It wasn't that he was not clever,as some critical people tended to say,but just very,very absentminded.
One hot summer day,professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three hour train ride away.To make the trip more interesting for his young children,he kept the name of the town a secret.However,by the time they arrived at the station,Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit.Luckily,a friend of his happened to be in the station.He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.
The professor's wife was surprised to see him again so soon.
"Oh,my dear,I forgot the name of the town."
"What?You forgot the name?Maybe one day you will forget my name!Now I'll write the name of that town on a piece of paper,and you put it in your pocket and please,please don't forget where you put it."
Satisfied that she had solved the problem,she sent her husband off again.Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.

【答案】What is the matter now?asked his wife. "I just can't remember why I come back and where I am supposed to be going on such a hot summer day",replied the professor.However,the real reason was that he forgot where he had left his children.Sensing something wrong,Mrs.Smith didn't believe his words,because whenever he told a lie,he would blink his eyes usually quickly. "Tell me the truth," ordered his wife. "As you told me,I didn't forget the name of that town,but I forget the station where I left our children!" whispered the professor,his voice trembling. "What a bad memory!" shouted the wife.
Hearing the cry,out rushed their neighbors,trying to find out what had happened.A fight between the couple was about to start when the professor's cell-phone began to ring.His friend,whose patience had worn thin,phoned to complain.The professor apologized,got into his car and drove away,leaving behind a bunch of people outside the house.Being afraid that he would make matters worse again,Mrs.Smith decided to follow his husband,who then called a taxi.By the time she caught up with her husband,the children were already back home safe and sound.
