Question

【題目】根據短文內容回答下列問題。
After supper, Mr Jackson turned on the television. He tried to find a football game on it. At that time the telephone rang and he went to answer it. “Hello,” he said, “746-2135” “It's Betty speaking,” said a woman. “Henry is ill. And I have to take him to hospital. But Lucy is to young……” “Don't worry. I'll go and look after her. But where's your husband James?' “He's gone to London. He'll be back at tomorrow morning.'
Mrs Jackson was on duty in the hospital that night and Mr Jackson had to go to help his sister. Lucy was only four. She began to cry when her mother left. Mr Jackson told her some stories, taught her a song and showed her some nice pictures. He didn't stop until the little girl went to sleep. Mr Jackson went home after James came back. He was asleep soon after he went to bed. His wife came into the bedroom and it woke him up. He had a look at the clock on the wall and found it was half past eight. He jumped off the bed and ran to the garage(車庫)with his bag. His wife tried to say something, but he called back, “l(fā) was never late for work, you know. But I'm late this morning.' “No, you aren't,” said Mrs Jackson. “It's Saturday.'

【解析】短文講述了 Jackson先生照顧妹妹的女兒后回家睡覺，被叫醒后看了鬧鐘以為自己快遲到了，而實際上那天是周六，不需要工作。
（1）最后一句說今天是周六，Betty的丈夫回來了，打電話的時候說是明早回，說明打電話是周五，故填on Friday。
（2）從But where's your husband James?' “He's gone to London. He'll be back at tomorrow morning.'可知James不能送兒子去醫(yī)院的原因是Because he had gone to London. He would be back at tomorrow morning.
（3）從Mr Jackson told her some stories, taught her a song and showed her some nice pictures. He didn't stop until the little girl went to sleep.可知答案是He told her some stories, taught her a song and showed her some nice pictures.
（4）因為他以為今天要上班，而自己快要遲到了，所以答案是Because he thought he was late for work.
（5）文中提到的人物有Mr Jackson，Betty，Henry，James，Lucy， Mrs Jackson共六個人，所以答案是Six。
