C Mrs Black was a famous musician several years ago. She taught music at a school and her students did well in their lessons. They liked her very much. 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. And she is very happy. But Mrs Black has a problem. She finds that her memory is failing (减弱). Sometimes she forgets what she did or she will do. It often gets her in trouble. Her husband asked her to see a famous doctor 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 got to the airport just on time to catch the plane, Mrs Black said, “I wish we’d brought the piano with us.” “Don’t be a fool, dear!” said Mr Black. “We’re not going to hold a concert, but to see a doctor.” “I know,” she said, “but I’ve left the tickets on it!” 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 ( ) 66.
