Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note语篇专练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Some people will do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family’s last vacation.It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school，and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip.The flight was overbooked，and Delta，the airline，offered us 400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York，so I had to get back.But that didn’t mean my husband and my son couldn’t stay.I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
