directory (电话薄) , where you will see that the cost of your call will depend not only on the duration and distance but aim on what time of day the call is made and some-times on whether or not it is made at the weekend or during the week. Between most places in Britain it is now possible to dial direct by STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialing) (用户直通电话). Charge rates are higher for calls made from coin-box phones and call offices than for those made from ordinary lines, and calls connected by the operator are normally more expensive than calls you dial direct.

Functions of Telephone C. Telephone Development D. Advantages of a Telephone Directory Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage. Motorways are, no doubt, the safest roads in the country. Mile for mile, vehicle for vehicle, you are much less likely to be killed or seriously injured than on an ordinary road. On the other hand, if you do have a serious accident on a motorway, deaths are much more likely to occur than in a comparable accident elsewhere on the roads. Motorways have no sharp bends, no roundabouts (道路交叉口的圆环) or traffic lights and thus speeds are much greater than on other roads. Though the 70 m.p.h. limit is still in force, it is often treated with the contempt （轻视）that most drivers have for the 30 m.p.h. limit applying in built-up areas in Britain. Added to this is the fact that motorway drivers seem to like traveling in groups with perhaps barely ten meters between each vehicle. The resulting terrible pileups (involving maybe a hundred vehicles) when one vehicle stops for some reason——have become all too familiar through pictures in newspapers or on television. How many of these drivers realize that it takes a car about one hundred metres to brake to a stop from 70 m.p.h.? Drivers also seem to think that sudden changes of the weather never trouble them when they drive on motorways. However wet the road, whatever the visibility in mist of fog, they drive at foolish speeds ignorant of police warnings or speed restrictions until their journey brings forth an accident. Perhaps one remedy for this motorway madness would be better driver education. At present, learner drivers are barred (禁止) from motorways and are thus unprepared as far as this kind of driving is concerned. However, much more efficient policing is required, for it is the duty of the police not only to enforce the law but also to protect the general public from its own foolishness. 6.

Some people give up trying to learn a foreign language. It can seem too much like hard work. But the problem comes when they go abroad on holidays and find they cannot communicate. How do they ask the way, order a cup of coffee, or ask the price of something? Keith Chiwick thinks he has the answer to this problem. "I have got a machine which talks in different languages. I feel that I could go to any country in the world and converse with any foreigner," he says. Keith is an inventor. His invention is an electronic machine which produces phrases in four different languages, French, German, Italian and English. Unlike the phrase books, this machine has a voice. It looks like a cassette recorder. Imagine you want to say, "What time is the next train for Munich?" in German. First, you find the right card for that question. Each card has four strips of tape on it, one for each language. The cards are small, seven by nine centimeters, and each one can store up to two hundred and forty words. You run a pickup head along the tape and -- hey presto!-- a voice comes out of the amplifier, asking the question. The person at the information desk may get a surprise, but you will get your answer! Keith hopes that an electronics company will buy his idea and develop it commercially to sell it to tourists. Meanwhile, he's working on more new ideas. “It's just a hobby for me. Some people like playing golf or bingo, but I like making new things.” he said. 11. Why do some people give up trying to learn a foreign language? A. Because they can use Keith's machine now. B.
