四、閱讀測驗
If someone has amnesia, they can’t remember things that happened before. Amnesia can happen when
people have an accident and hit their head, or when people get a brain sickness. People with amnesia forget
what happened to them and may even forget their names, where they live, or who their friends and family
are. Amnesia usually goes away after twenty-four hours or so. After the shock wears off or the sickness
passes, people’s memories come back to them.
Yet, Clive Wearing’s story is a most unusual one. In 1985, Wearing got a serious brain sickness that
wreaked havoc on the part of his brain that holds memories. Because of his sickness, Wearing can’t hold on
to new memories for more than a few minutes. He forgets everything as soon as it happens. He spends each
day “waking up” every few minutes, because he has already forgotten everything he’s done that day---even
waking up.
Wearing remembers little of his life before 1985. He knows he has children, but he can’t remember their
names. He loves his wife, Deborah. Each time he meets her, he believes he’s seeing her for the first time in
many years. He does this even though Deborah may have left the room just minutes before.
Having such a bad memory is hard to imagine. Of course, it hasn’t been easy for the Wearings, and
Deborah has written a book about her husband’s amnesia called Forever Today, and Clive’s story has been
told in a TV show. Because of his memory problem, Wearing can’t work anymore and now lives in a special
home for people with brain injuries.
