广东省深圳市耀华实验学校2018-2019学年高一下学期英语入学考试试卷（实验部）
I'm a reporter. Last month I was in Stockholm, Sweden. Now I'm in Frankfurt, Germany. Next month, who knows?
You certainly won't believe that I can call you from my laptop, which is what I'm often doing these days using something called Skype.
Skype lets me call any phone number anywhere in the world for about 2 cents a minute, a little more to some places, such as the Middle East and Asia. My computer does the dialing, and the processing of incoming and outgoing voices. All you need is a broadband connection (宽带接头). With the basic version of Skype, all anyone needs to make or receive a call is to install the program on his or her computer (and that includes personal digital assistants). All calls from PC to PC are free.
You don't even need a pair of headphones, though headphones can be a good idea if you wish to be discreet. I use my laptop's built-in microphone.
The paid service for calling regular telephones is called SkypeOut. The quality is completely clear, provided that there's not too much traffic on the Internet. If there's an echo, hang up and try again, and it usually gets better. There is one warning: on some computers, especially those running older versions of Windows, it doesn't always work, or can sound like a confusing conversation. You can't hear a thing.
Skype was invented chiefly by a Swede named Niklas Zennstrom along with a group of programmers in Estonia.
