　　At eight o'clock this morning the telephone rang. I picked up the receiver（听筒）in a hurry. I knew at once the lady had dialed （拨号）the wrong number. But it took her a long time to find out. She said her name was Mrs Mills and asked if I was Mr Copper's secretary（秘书）. I told her she had dialed the wrong number, but  I didn't think she listened to me.

　　At last she heard what I said. She wanted to know why I did  not tell her sooner. I tried to explain it wasn't my fault（错误） ,but she would not listen. Before I could say a word, she hung up.
