Unit Eight TextA Outline & Summary I)Summary: In theory those who get to the airport early will get reward and those who get there late will get punishment. But this theory is not true in my case. There were persons who took casual drinks before boarding and even left timeliness to the mercy of God There were persons who paid off their taxi only just in time for boarding, but still get their luggage first when landing. To my great embarrassment, however early I am, I somehow cannot manage to get the seat I want. The worst of it was that when had to board an earlier plane than planned after arriving earlier, I got into such a hurry that I stumbled over a woman's leg and was dressed down for being late Back By Zhu ruina
