There are many anecdotes about Jackson. Among them there is a humorous one:
After his wife died, Jackson lived alone and felt very lonely. He also began to worry greatly about his health. Several members of his family had died after suffering paralytic strokes, and Jackson was sure that he was going to die in the same way. He therefore lived in constant fear of having such a stroke.
One day at the home of some friends, he was playing chess with a young girl. Suddenly Jackson's hand dropped to his side and he seemed to become very weak. His face became pale. Several friends rushed to his side.
"At last it has come," said Jackson weakly. "I have had a stroke. My whole right side is paralyzed."
"How do you know?" someone asked.
"Because," Jackson answered, "in the past few minutes I have pinched my right leg several times, and there is absolutely no sensation in it."
"Oh! I beg your pardon, Sir," said the young woman with whom he had been playing. "But that was my leg you were pinching!"

W: Have you ever been on the radio before?
M: No, not really. I mean I've never found so much money before.
W: Tell me what happened that morning.
M: Well, I collected my newspapers at about 8 o'clock and started my pa- per around. I went past the phone box and I saw this black bag in one comer. I got off my bike to have a better look. It was just an ordinary case. So I decided to find out who it belonged to.
W: When did you realize it was money?
M: As soon as I opened it.
W: What did you do next?
M: I rushed out of the box, went to the nearest house, and phoned the police.
W: what did the police do with the bag?

M: Oh, I'm afraid it's too expensive.
W: What about the blue one over there? It looks nice, too. And it's cheaper.

听力原文:W: Hello, Mary Smith here. Could I speak to Mr. Brown, please?
M: Speaking.
W: Oh, it's you, Andrew, is it? I didn't recognize your voice. Sounds as if you're miles away.
M: Oh, hello, Mary. Yes, the line isn't very good. I'll speak a bit louder. Is that any better?
W: Yes, that's much better now. Andrew, it looks as if I won't be able to keep the appointment we made.
M: That was to be Friday, wasn't it?
W: Yes, I'm so sorry. This visitor I was actually expecting last week had some kind of change in his schedule, and now he's rung me up to say the only day he can come is next Friday.
M: I see.
W: And the trouble is, as he's over from Argentina, I can't very well put him off. Hope you understand.
M: Well, I suppose so.
W: But could we meet on Saturday? Or would you prefer the beginning of next week?
M: Afraid I'm tied up at the weekend. And...let me just check. Tuesday would be all right, I think.
W: Tuesday is O.K. for me too. Could you come here at 11:30 as we'd arranged? I'll show you round our place, we could lunch together and work out the terms of our contract in the afternoon. How does that sound to you?
M: Yes, fine. I'll write it down in my diary. That's Tuesday, 12th December. Right, I'll be at your place at 11:30 then.
W: Thanks, Andrew. Hope I haven't messed up your arrangements too much.
M: Oh no, these things happen, don't they? See you next Tuesday. And have a nice weekend.
W: Thanks. You too.
