The woman was very frightened. What could she do? She dialed 999. The emergency call operator Robert Naylor answered the call immediately.
"Please help me! It's in my bathroom! It's moving!" the woman cried. "What is it that's moving?" Robert answered calmly.
"A spider!" the woman shouted back at him.
Robert believes that a significant number of the calls are not emergencies. The actual number across the country is close to 75%.
Firstly, there are "silent calls". The emergency number is dialed, but when an operator answers, no one speaks. Often it's a small child or even a pet who has been playing with her phone and has accidentally rung the emergency number.
Then there are "joke calls", often from teenagers. An operator answers the phone and the caller immediately hangs up. Robert believes these are declining, as there are far fewer public payphones these days. "People are less interested to make a call when they are doing it from their own mobile phone and they know we have their number!"
The police always follow up both types of calls. It's a huge waste of money, the average (平均的) cost of responding to a silent or joke call is around £250.
The great numbers of the none-emergency calls are like those from the woman above. A situation like this isn't an emergency. But this example is far from the worst. What do you think of the following?
● A teenager girl in America called the police because her parents had decorated her room and she didn't like the color.
● A mother in Italy rang the emergency services when her 16-year-old son refused to get out of the bed.
● A Brazilian teenage boy rang and asked the police to remove a video of him from YouTube. In the video, the boy was falling off his bike.
There are many other examples, and most of these are from adults. These calls waste more than time and money. "If someone makes a joke call and the police manage to find them, then they can expect a fine of up to £5,000, and even a prison sentence (監(jiān)禁)," warns Robert. "But for people whose emergency aren't really serious, we simply try to deal with their calls as quickly as possible," he continues. "The person often quickly realizes their situation isn't really an emergency and ends up apologizing (道歉) for calling us. But if someone refuses to listen, then we have to hang up. Someone with a real emergency is probably waiting to speak to us."
1.How did Robert think of the woman's call?
A.It was an emergency call. B.It was a joke call.
C.It was a none-emergency call. D.It was a silent call.
2.What does the underlined word "declining" probably mean?
A.Getting serious. B.Turning worse.
C.Getting useless. D.Becoming less.
3.Why are there so many none-emergency calls?
A.Operators give excellent service. B.Callers do not take any responsibilities.
C.Dealing with none-emergency costs little. D.Many don't consider it an improper behavior.
4.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A.Emergency services. B.Is it an emergency?
C.Different kinds of emergency calls. D.Who is to be responsible?

So, have you ever stepped back and wondered what your voice sounds like to other people? Your friends and family can probably tell who you are just by the sound of your voice. And it turns out that it says a lot about us.
• Your voice tells how social you are
1.. Outgoing people prefer to talk loudly, quickly, and excitedly. Introverts (內(nèi)向的人) prefer to speak quietly and more slowly. So, if you’re that loud person at a party, you’ll probably find that all eyes are on you. However, introverts won’t possibly be at that party at all.
• Your voice says something about your height
This may sound strange, but if people close their eyes and hear you speak, they can probably tell if you’re tall or short. 2., while shorter people are considered to have a higher voice. This is true for both men and women.
• 3.
If you’ve noticed a lot of changes in a person’s voice—the speed at which they talk, the tone and pitch of their (語氣和音調(diào)) voice, or whether their voice has become quieter-they may have Parkinson’s disease. These changes can happen in die voice because of the tremors (震顫) that a patient would be experiencing.
• Your voice can tell how successful you are
Successful people’s voices tend to be of a lower, warmer tone. Their words come out calmly without showing too many emotions, and their vocal cords (聲帶) won’t be tight. 4., but not so loudly that they’re unpleasant to listen to.
A.Taller people usually have a deeper voice
B.Your voice can tell others about your health
C.They’ll speak loudly enough to make themselves heard
D.A confident person will have a smooth and steady (穩(wěn)定的) tone
E.People can tell whether you’re outgoing or introverted

Using iPads to Make Learning Fun
Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school.But recently, you can add another one to the l1.: an iPad.Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for s2. the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.
