  Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their children were going to begin their holiday one day. As they had decided to spend it in another country, they had to be at the airport at 11∶40 a. m. “It'll take us half an hour to get there in the taxi,” Mr. Wilson said, “So we all have to be ready by 11 o'clock. Nobody should be late.”

  At 10∶50 they were still all running around doing things, except Mrs. Wilson, who was sitting quietly on a chair in the garden enjoying the sun.

  Her husband and children were very surprised that she was not in a hurry too. Until the taxi arrived and Mrs. Wilson said to them, “Well, I knew that this was going to happen, so before I went to bed last night, I moved all clocks and watches ahead 20 minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worrying about being late.”

The Wilsons decided to go overseas for vacation. They had a family meeting to plan the vacation. "First," Mr. Wilson said, "we should decide where we are going."

"I don't agree," Mrs. Wilson said, "I think we should decide when we are going first. We don't want to go to places when they are cold." [来源:Zxxk.Com]

Mr. Wilson agreed, so the family's first decision was when to go on vacation. They decided to go in July. "Now we can decide where to go," said Mr. Wilson. "But, Dad," Ben said, "don't you think that where we go depends on(依赖,取决于)how we go? If we plan to fly, we can go a long way. If we plan to drive, we can't go far."

Again, Mr. Wilson agreed, and they discussed this. At last they agreed to travel by plane. And so the planning meeting went on. The next day, one of Mr. Wilson's friends at work asked, "Where are you going for vacation?"
