James wrote a play for television about a family who came to England from Pakistan. The play was surprisingly successful, and it was bought by an American TV company.
James was invited to go to New York to help with the production. He lived in Dulwich, which is an hour’s journey away from Heathrow Airport. The flight was due to leave at 9:30 a.m., so he had to be at the airport at about 7:30 in the morning. He set his alarm for 5:45 a.m. and went to sleep.
Unfortunately he forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped shortly after midnight. As James woke up and turned on the radio he was surprised to discover that it was 9:55 already.
He was so upset but could do nothing now. He was just pouring himself a cup of tea when the clock struck ten. The announcer began to read the news: "Reports are coming in of a crash near Heathrow Airport. A Boeing 707 to New York crashed shortly after taking off this morning. Flight number 2234." James turned pale.
"My flight," he said out loud. "If I hadn’t overslept, I’d have been on that plane."
选项
A、Because the person who had invited him died in an air crash.
B、Because the American film producer was on the plane that crashed.
C、Because he would have been killed if he had taken the plane as planned.
D、Because all the planes to New York had been cancelled due to an air crash.
答案
C
解析
新闻里说一架飞往纽约的飞机刚起飞就坠毁了,而这架飞机正是James错过的那趟航班飞机。如果他赶上那趟航班的话,很可能在空难中丧生了。他感到后怕,所以脸都吓白了。
