21、nts each) Passage 4 How to Use London Telephones 1 Telephone calls in Britain are in two classes： local calls, and trunk calls. Short distance calls of up to about twenty miles are classed as local calls，and all calls over longer distances are classed as trunk calls. 2 In London, telephones now

22、have all-figure numbers which do not include an exchange name： for example, 071-222-2870. If you make a local telephone call in London to a subscriber in London, you leave out the 071 and dial only the last seven figures of the number of the person whom you are calling. To make a trunk call to or fr

23、om London, you dial all the figures of the subscriber's number, 3 The names, addresses and telephone numbers of subscribers in inner London are at present printed in four directories. There are separate directories for people whose names begin with the letters A to D, E to K, L to R and S to Z. Whe

24、n you look up a person's number in the telephone directory, you will find his name on the left side of the column and his telephone number on the right side. 4 All call-boxes in London are on the STD system, which has now been extended to all parts of Britain. The letters STD stand for Subscriber T

25、runk Dialing, and on this type of telephone you can dial many long-distance numbers direct as well as local numbers. An STD telephone is usually free, and the coin-box has slots for coins. To make a call, you pick up the receiver and dial the number before putting any money into the coin-box. When t

26、he person whose number you are ringing answers, there will be a special rapid tone called the paytone. As soon as you hear this, you put your money in the box. The paytone then stops, and you can start to speak. To make a trunk call by STD, you dial first the STD code number for the town that you ar

27、e calling and then the number o￡ the subscriber. For example, the STD code number for trunk calls from London to Bristol is 0272； if you telephone a person living in Bristol whose number is Bristol 294020, you would dial 0272- 294020. When your time is up the paytone is repeated； if you wish to cont

28、inue your talk, you must then put more money into the slot. The length of time allowed is doubled between 6 p. m. and 8 a. m. Now pay phones work slightly differently, however. 5 Besides the STD system, there is also an International Subscriber Dialing service for making telephone calls to most of

29、the countries of Europe, but some calls can only be made from telephones without a coin-box. You can dial direct to many places in France, Belgium, Germanyt Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. 6 A special recorded telephone information service is provided every day for visitors to London.

30、 This service gives visitors details of the main events of the day in and around London. The information is recorded in four languages： English, French, German and Spanish. When you wake up in the morning and you want to know what the weather will be like in London, dial 246-8901 ； and, if you want

31、to know time, dial 123. Questions 21 — 30 are based on Passage 4. 21. Telephone calls in Britain can be classified into two types： local calls and international calls. 22. If you call from London to a subscriber in London, you need to dial 071 first. 23. If you want to know the telephone number

33、 to put money into the coin-box first and then dial the number after hearing the paytone, 27. To make a trunk call by STD, you need to dial STD code number first. 28. All calls can be made from telephones with a coin-box. 29. If you go to London, you can even get information over telephone in Chi

35、e forbidden from naming their baby son 4ReaL Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. They decided to call him Superman instead. In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, es

36、pecially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children wacky names. In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like — the only restrictions on parents relate to offensive words such as swear words. Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. For example,

37、 there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and films. Equally, names related to sport are fairly common 一 since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team. Other parents like to make up names, or combine names to make their ow

39、tries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose. In China, there are some rules about what you may call a child — no foreign letters or symbols are allowed.

Vn Britain, some names which were previously thought of as old-fashioned have become more popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy.
