  Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia.Linda has promised her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely.This is something she has 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.

  But Linda has promised that she would ring.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.”

  “If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, I'll eat my hat.”David says, “And one minute is nearly four pounds.”

  “That's no more titan you'd pay for a new hat.”Linda answers.

  She has asked the man at the hotel 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 her.

  “Hello, love.”It is Mrs Lee, Linda's mother, speaking from London.“I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room.It's a better line than when you called me from your office.Do you remember?I shouted at that time, and still you couldn't hear me sometimes.”

  “Yes, Mum.”Linda puts in, “I just wanted to ring to….”

  “I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to eat, when you were a little girl.And then when you…”.Mrs Lee is a great talker.

  “Nearly four pounds.”says David.

  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…”.

  “Four pounds fifty,”says David.

  At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.

  “There!That wasn't long, was it?”

  “Four pounds, ninety pence.”David answers.“And you didn't even say that we've arrived.”

Do you have a pet? Have you seen a hamster? Do you like to keep a pet hamster?

  I have a very cute hamster named Barter. Barter has a dark cream-colored body (米色的身体), and a short tail. He has four tiny feet with sharp claws (尖尖的指甲)and tiny long teeth. He also has a pocketon each side of his mouth, for storing food.

  Barter loves food. His favorite is corn (玉米). If I give him a bowl of corn, he will eat every bit in a few hours.

  Barter is quite lovely. He's just over six months old and loves to play. He plays in the hamster wheel every night. When he plays around, he runs here and there, his body looking like a ball of fur(绒毛)rolling about (滚动). He gets very upset if someone bothers (打搅)him.

  I like my little pet Barter very much. He's brought me so many laughs and joys.
