問題詳情:
Working in Detroit…rain,rain,and more rain.
I rushed to the airport only to find out from an airline ticket representative (機場地勤人員) that my return flight was one hour late.
As I cleared security,the progress of my flight went from departing (起程) one hour late to two hours,then three hours,then four hours late.I learned about these delays from the announcements given by an annoying airline gate agent.It became clear that I was going to miss my connecting flight home.
After minute﹣by﹣minute travel rearrangements,and knowing that I had to give Web﹣based training (網上培訓) the next morning back home,my husband Jim decided to drive to the airport,pick me up,and drive me back.
Jim and I arrived home at 4:30am.I napped for a couple of hours,made coffee,logged on to the Internet conference site for my training,and waited and waited and waited….It is lonely giving Web﹣based live meeting training when no one logs in.Do you know why they didn't log in?Because I had actually scheduled the training for the next day,not the day that we had raced home to await.
I worried about telling Jim that he had held off sleep,driven through a huge storm and gotten through road construction to get me home 24hours early for training.But the phone eventually rang as he called from work and it was time to own up (坦白).What do you think he said?What would you have said?Would you have scolded (責罵)?Yelled?Teased?Would you have called all of your friends and let them know?
Well,Jim's response to finding out that he had driven an almost 400﹣mile round trip in the rain for nothing was a slight chuckle (輕聲地笑) and this comment:"The important thing is you are home."
The important thing is you are home…
Today,remind someone how important it is that they are at home with you.If they live far away,tell them how important it is that they have a home in your heart.

B.Her plane was delayed and she had to rearrange her connecting flight home.
C.She failed to give the web﹣based training as no one was informed to log in on time.

B.The writer took it for granted that Jim would pick her up from the airport.
C.Jim drove the writer all the way home from the airport to get her there in time for her
training.
D.The writer caught her connecting flight and was back home in time for her training.
10.The writer felt worried about owning up to Jim because .
A.she knew he would get really upset and yell at her
B.she was afraid he might tell her friends
C.she was sorry that it had taken him so long to get home
D.she had mistaken the date for the training and he needn't have picked her up
11.What do we know about Jim from the text?
