【答案解析】[听力原文]26-28
I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan. 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. Jordan 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. Jordan, and I called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message, which said that Mr. Jordan had gone out of town on some sudden unexpected business. I was sorry I really missed seeing him, but I really enjoyed my sightseeing in San Francisco.
26. Why couldn't the speaker meet Mr. Jordan when he got to San Francisco?
