听力原文: I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jorden. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick and couldn ' t meet with him. I had to call our appointment off. Then when I felt better, I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to telephone him during office hours but he was busy. The receptionist said that Mr. Jarden would call me back. But he didn't. I gave up trying to make a new appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jorden and I called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a massage which said that Mr. Jarden had gone out of town for some sudden unexpected business. I was sorry I had missed seeing him. But I really enjoyed my sightseeing in San Francisco.

It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, shining against the green of a pine.
"Where did it come from?" I asked.
"I asked the gate boy to cut it," my mother said, "I wouldn't have one just for myself, but when called—oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon." Krysal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little disorderly at the side, 1 thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
"It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on, "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the gate boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be critical."
"Don't worry," I told him, "It's perfect."
It wasn't of course, but at the moment I realized for the first time: all Christmas tree are perfect.
