英文短篇故事(纽约)41 Drive to the LA Airport (1)(在线收听

   She was moving to New York City. She asked her brother to drive her to the airport in her car. "Okay, but I've never driven this heap before," he said. "It drives like any other car," she said. "And it's a 1993 Cadillac; it's not a 'heap.' Remember, when you sell it, keep 25 percent for yourself." "Okay," he said. "I'll keep $25, and I'll send you $75." She put her bags in the trunk.

Let me check the manual."
