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(车库)with his bag. His wife tried to say something, but he called back, “l 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】短文讲述了 Jackson先生照顾妹妹的女儿后回家睡觉，被叫醒后看了闹钟以为自己快迟到了，而实际上那天是周六，不需要工作。
（1）最后一句说今天是周六，Betty的丈夫回来了，打电话的时候说是明早回，说明打电话是周五，故填on Friday。
（2）从But where's your husband James?' “He's gone to London. He'll be back at tomorrow morning.'可知James不能送儿子去医院的原因是Because he had gone to London. He would be back at tomorrow morning.
（3）从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）因为他以为今天要上班，而自己快要迟到了，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共六个人，所以答案是Six。
