If David hadn't wasted his money gambling in Las Vegas, be() go to Canada with us next week.

听力原文：M: Hurry up, Kate. We'll be late.

W: I am hurrying. I can't move any faster.

M: It's always the same. We can never get anywhere on time.

W: Right! I'm ready. Really, David, if you gave me some help around the house, we'd never have to hurry like this. I can't do everything, you know.

M: Well, we'd better be off. We're late already.

W: Oh, no! It's absolutely pouring. We can't go out in that. We'll be soaked.

M: Nonsense! Come on. It's only a shower. It won't last long.

W: A shower？ That! It's set in for the night. I'm not going out in that.

M: Well, you've got your umbrella, haven't you？ Use that. And anyway, it's only five minutes to the Johnsons' house.

W: It might just as well be five miles in that rain. And I haven't got my umbrella. I left it in the office.

M: That wasn't very clever of you, was it？

W: Well, we could use your umbrella, I suppose.

M: We can't. I left it on the train six weeks ago.

W: Oh, David. Really, you are impossible.

M: Well, we can't stand here all night. We're late as it is. Let's go.

W: I'm not going out in that. And that's final.

M: I'd better ring for a taxi then.

W: Yes. You'd better, hadn't you？

David and Xiaoyan arrived at the airport in good time. After checking in at the BA (British Airways) desk, they had their boarding passes checked, put their bags through the X-ray machine and went through the passport control on their way to the departure lounge. They didn抰 have anything to eat because they would eat on the plane, but they had a coffee and then they looked round the shops. Xiaoyan bought something for Mary, but David didn抰 buy anything. Then they went to the gate. They had about 20 minutes to wait before embarking. Suddenly David realized that he hadn抰 got his camera with him. They went back and looked everywhere to see where he could have lost it --- in the shops, in the cafe, at the X-ray machine, at the passport control and at the checking-in desk, but nobody had seen it. 揑 must have left it in the cafe,？said David, 揑 should have put it in my bag. I suppose someone must have walked off with it!？
