不要担心迟到

　　Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their children were going² to begin their vacation³ one day, and they had⁴ to be at the airport at eleven-forty AM. "It'll take us half an hour to get there in the taxi," Mr. Wilson said⁵, "so we all have to be ready by eleven o'clock. Nobody⁶ should be late."

　　At ten minutes to eleven they were still all running⁷ around doing things, except⁸ Mrs. Wilson, who was⁹ sitting quietly¹⁰ on a chair in the garden enjoying the sun.

　　Her husband¹¹ and children were very surprised¹² that she wasn't in a hurry too, until¹³ 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 ahead¹⁴ twenty minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worring about being late."
