阅读下面的短文，判断正（T）误（F）。

I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles．By the time we took off，there had been a 45-minute delay and everybody on board was unhappy．Unexpectedly，we stopped in Sacramento on the way．The flight attendant explained that there would be another 45-minute delay，and if we wanted to get off the aircraft，we would get on the plane again in 30 minutes．

Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind．I noticed him as I walked by and could tell he had flown before because his seeing eye dog lay quietly under the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight．I could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot went near and，calling him by name，said，“Keith，we're in Sacramento for almost an hour．Would you like to get off and stretch your legs？”Keith replied，“No，thanks，but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs.”

Imagine this：All the people in the gate area stopped quietly when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with the seeing eye dog！The pilot was even wearing sunglasses．People scattered．They not only tried to change planes but were also trying to change airlines！

参考译文

我将乘飞机从旧金山飞往洛杉矶。起飞时间到了，但飞机推迟45分钟起飞，每个坐在飞机上的人都很不高兴。没有想到的是，我们中途又在萨克拉门托停了下来。空乘人员解释说，还得再停留45分钟，如果我们想下飞机，我们应当在30分钟后上来。

除了一位失明的绅士，所有人都下了飞机。当我从他身旁走过时，我注意到了他。而且我能看出他以前坐过飞机，因为他的导盲犬在整个飞行过程中都安静地趴在他前面的坐椅下面。我还能看出他以前坐的恰好就是这趟航班，因为飞行员走到他身边，喊了他的名字：“基思，我们要在萨克拉门托停留近一个小时。你想下飞机活动活动腿脚吗？”基思回答道：“不了，谢谢，不过我的狗也许想活动活动。”

想象一下这幅情景：当所有站在舱门附近的人抬头看见飞行员牵着导盲犬走下飞机时，他们全都安静地停了下来。而且飞行员竟然戴着太阳镜。人们赶紧散开了。他们不仅想换飞机，而且连航班也想换了。
