听力题 M: Hey, good to see you back. How was your trip? Everything smooth sailing? W: Not bad, though I had a little trouble before boarding. M: What was wrong? W: I was caught in a traffic jam and almost missed the flight. But I managed to get to the airport in time. M: Congratulations! Which flight did you take? W: British Airways, Flight BA 554. M: Was it easy for you to find the right counter? W: Yes, the information was displayed on the monitor. M: Since there was not much time left for you, I hope there wasn''t a terrible line-up at the counter. W: Luckily, no. The queue was quite short. But I had another problem. M: What was that? W: When I handed in my passport, the airline agent looked at it for a long time. M: Why? Did the agent think your passport was a fake? W: No, she didn''t, but she told me that my passport was going to expire in a week. So you see, I had to fly back quickly. M: I hope that was the end of your troubles. W: Not completely. I still had trouble with my baggage. M: What was the problem? W: It was overweight. It took me a while to go through the procedure. M: Any good news before you boarded the plane? W: Yes, when I asked for a window seat, I got one. You know, I wouldn''t like to take an aisle or middle seat where I couldn''t enjoy the view. M: I prefer an aisle seat, though. So that I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up. W: Finally the agent gave me the boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 24 in just minutes. So I had to run! M: But you made it! Good for you.
