　　Richard Rude was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to always remind him about his appointments, his classes-even his meals! Since Rudd was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness often caused him a lot of trouble. It wasn't that he was unintelligent. He was just very, very absent-minded.

　　One hot summer day, Professor Rudd decided to take his children to the beach. The seaside town he planned to visit was 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. Unfortunately, by the time Rudd had arrived at the train station, the poor forgetful man had forgotten the name of the town. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Rudd went back home to find out where he was going.

　　The professor's wife was surprised to see him again so soon, but she was amused when she heard what was the matter. She distrusted his memory, so she wrote the name of the town on a piece of paper. 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 again. What was the matter now? The professor had forgotten where he had left his children.

A four-year study made by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. While a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar(不熟悉的) infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.

The above findings might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the good way to care for babies under three. Dr Benjamin Spock, well-known doctor and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says the family day care is sounder in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter (照看婴孩者).
