听力原文：W: Hello, Tom. How was the trip？
M: It was a terrible experience.
W: Can you tell me what happened？
M: I intended to fly to New York to attend a meeting, but I got on the wrong plane and it took me to Washington.
W: Oh, Tom, that's awful. Then you should have taken a taxi to go to New York.
M: Yes, I wanted to, but I couldn't. The taxi drivers were on strike.
W: Poor old you! So you didn't make it to the meeting in time.
M: As luck would have it, I met a friend who was driving to New York.
W: So you attended the meeting at last. That's amazing!
