中考英语阅读训练(08)
Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised(答应)her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.
"If there were an accident. " He says, „they‟d know soon enough. Bad news travels fast. " But Linda has promised that she would ring. "However," she says, "‘it doesn’t cost much when you just think that it‘s the other side of the world. It’s only six pence per second (每秒六便士)。"
"If you‘re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat,‘ David says, "And one minute’s nearly four pounds(英镑). "
"That„s no more than you‟d pay for a new hat," „‟Linda answers.
She has asked the man at the hotel (旅馆) desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.
"Hello, Mum. Is that you ?" She says.
"Six pence per second," David reminds(提醒) her.

Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye.
"Yes, all right,"says Mrs Lee," But you will write, won„t you, as you did when you were at work …"
Once again, Mrs Lee talks about the pass. and there is no stopping her. "Four pounds fifty, ‟says David.
