[单项选择]William Shakespeare described old age as "second childishness" — sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste. In the case of taste he may, musically speaking, have been even more perceptive than he realized. A paper in Neurology by Giovanni Frisoni and his colleagues at the National Centre for Research and Care of Alzheimer’s Disease in Brescia, Italy, shows that one form of senile dementia can affect musical desires in ways that suggest a regression, if not to infancy, then at least to a patient’s teens.
Frontotemporal dementia is caused, as its name suggests, by damage to the front and sides of the brain. These regions are concerned with speech, and with such "higher" functions as abstract thinking and judgment.

[单项选择]Mr. Handforth in his old age, in his second childhood—advanced by his stroke—had kept his wits about him, and they, as old people’s wits sometimes will, inclined him to be critical of those who were nearest and dearest to him.
Undoubtedly, it was Judith who was—or who had been—nearest and dearest to him. Throughout the many years of his widowerhood—how many! —she had been at his beck and call, neglecting, as she herself had said and as he had had ample opportunities of confirming, her own family and he had gratefully though guiltily agreed to her suggestion, that her family would have been larger than it was, that Charlotte might have had brothers and sisters, as Seymour hoped she would have, if she had not felt that her father was her first priority.
This combined feeling of guilt and gratitude he had tried to acknowledge to her from time to time, by presents smaller and greater; and he had made and re-made his will many times, with the object of leaving the residue of his e
