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!"
Who was Andrew Jackson?
A.He was the commander of the American Army during the War of 1812.
B.He was President of the United States.
C.He was one of the most colorful political figures.
D.All of the above.
听力原文: I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: "Carol, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."
AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words were drowned as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless. I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.

听力原文: Andrew Jackson, who was President of the United States from 1829 to 1837, was one of the most colorful political figures in American history. He first won national attention during the War of 1812 when, as commander of 5,000 backwoods farmers and soldiers, he completely defeated a well-trained British army of 10,000 men at the famous Battle of New Orleans.

I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that I pronounced badly.
I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street but he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes, as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the house was getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.

In America Mother' s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother' s Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother' s Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor.their mothers.
I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began. It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.
Anna was born on May 1, 1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a "minister", which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, and she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.
After she became an adult, Anna worked for a life insurance company in Philadelphia, Penn-sylvania--a city about halfway between New York City and Washington, D. C.. Then, in 1906,just two weeks after Anna' s 42nd birthday, her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.
In the months that followed, Anna began to change. (78)No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other mothers honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.
After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother' s Day church service, on May 10, 1908, in Grafton, West Virginia. (79)The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of Mayas an official Mother' s Day--the first city to do so. After three more years, the state of West Vir-ginia, where Anna' s mother had lived, made Mother' s Dayr.a statewide observance--not a holi-day in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.
