不要担心迟到

 　　Don't Worry about Being 1 Late

　　Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their children were going 2 to begin their vacation 3 one day, and they had 4 to be at the airport at eleven-forty AM. "It'll take us half an hour to get there in the taxi," Mr. Wilson said 5, "so we all have to be ready by eleven o'clock. Nobody 6 should be late."
　　At ten minutes to eleven they were still all running 7 around doing things, except 8 Mrs. Wilson, who was 9 sitting quietly 10 on a chair in the garden enjoying the sun.
　　Her husband 11 and children were very surprised 12 that she wasn't in a hurry too, until 13 the taxi arrived and Mrs. Wilson said to them, "Well, I knew that this was going to be happen, so before I went to bed last night, I moved all our clocks and watches ahead 14 twenty minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worring about being late."
