During the last fifteen years of my mother's life she suffered with Alzheimer's

题文

During the last fifteen years of my mother's life she suffered with Alzheimer's dia (老年痴呆). Until then she had been a bright, cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask, “Who are you?”  I would answer, “I'm your son.”  “Where do you live?”  She would ask. “In California”, I would tell her. “Isn't that interesting,” she would say, “I have a son in California.” She emed simply forgetful and confud at the beginning of the dia, but later on she would go through periods of inten anxiety. She would pace through the hou she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time.   Hoping to plea her and put her mind at ea I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a child. In the yard of the hillside hou in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn. I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some respon. She shook her head and said, “I want to go home.” Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.Watching my mother's suffering t me wondering where I would have gone in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave the notes for your guidance.   小题1:What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A．The author’s mother suffered with rious Alzheimer's dia.
