Dear Sir,

Mr. Smith wrote to your newspaper to complain that his telephone was out of order for more than a week.

We received a complaint from Mr. Smith at 2:30 p.m. on May 6. The next day we sent workmen to Mr. Smith’s house to repair his telephone. The men discovered that there was something wrong with the underground cable. They dug up 15 feet of the cable and saw many white ants. These ants had attacked the cable and damaged it badly.

On May 8~10, our workmen dug up another 30 feet of the cable and found that it was also damaged. On May 11~13 the men took out the useless cable and replaced it with a new one. To do this they had to connect more than 4 000 wires and the work was not easy.

On May 14, the cable was completely repaired and Mr. Smith’s telephone was working properly. He did not have to pay for the work.

Yours faithfully,

B.Jones

Manager of Telephone Company

阅读下面故事:

  Chemists are usually the best people to read doctor's notes. But sometimes the doctors write so badly that even chemists can't make out what was written.

  One day Mrs Smith wrote to her friend, who was a doctor, inviting him to have dinner with her family. A few days later she got a reply, but he wrote so carelessly that she couldn't read it. Her husband couldn't read the letter, either.

  “What shall I do? ” she said to her husband, “How can we know if he is coming? And it's not polite to call the doctor and tell him that I cannot read his writing. ”

  Her husband thought hard and then he got a good idea.

  “Take it to a chemist, ” he said, “and he will be able to read it easily. ”

  “That's great, ” shouted the lady.

  So she went to the chemist's. The chemist looked at the note carefully.

  “Wait a moment, please, ” he said politely, and went to the back of the shop. After ten minutes he returned with a large bottle in his hand. He gave the bottle to the lady and said, “ Take one spoonful before every meal. ”
