James wrote1 a play for television2 about a family who came4 to England from India5, and the play was6 very interesting. It was bought by an American TV company7(公司).
James was then invited8 to go to New York to help them. He lived in Washington9, which is an hour away from New York by air. The plane was going10 to take off11 at 8:30 in the morning. So he had12 to be at the airport at bout3 7:30. He ordered13 a taxi for 6:30 and went to sleep. He forgot14 to wind the clock, and it stopped after midnight16. Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and he got15 up very late the next morning.
James woke17 with the feeling18 that something was wrong. He looked at his clock. It stood19 there silently20 with the hands pointing to ten past twelve. He turned on the radio and knew it was ten. He was late for the plane.
He was just preparing21 his coffee when the radio sent out another news22, “Reports are coming in of a plane crash(飞机坠落)near Washington airport. A Boeing 707 fly to New York crashed23 shortly24 after taking off this morning. Plane number 2234…” James suddenly25 turned pale26(苍白).
“My plane,” he said27 aloud28. “If I haven’t been late, “I’d have been on the plane!”
