Dale | Can you come to my party this Sunday? Let's meet at 6:00 p. m. in my house. I bought some colored paper. I can make paper hats for us. We can all wear beautiful colored clothes. I'll order some potato chips and popcorn. |
Jack | Yes, I'm free on that day. I can bring some meat and barbecue skewers(烧烤棒). I'll grill(烤)food like I did last time. I will also bring some drinks. |
Alice | Good idea! Barbecues make people feel hot, and eating too much meat is not good for our health. So I'll bring a fruit salad. |
Sam | I can come to the party this Sunday. I'll bring card games. It will take us a long time to grill food. We can spend time by playing card games. And whoever loses the game washes the dishes after the party. |
EMERGENCY? WHAT EMERGENCY?
An emergency service (紧急服务) should be like that: a service that you phone in an emergency. You might need to call the police if you're in a car accident. But some people phone the emergency services for some unimportant reasons (原因). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Here are some examples we heard about from emergencycentres all over the world.
1 'I ordered food from a Chinese takeaway and it didn't come. I'm so hungry! Can you tell them to hurry up, please?'
2 'My children are making such a loud noise and I can't think about things. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
3 There's a black cat in my garden. Black cats are such unlucky animals. Can someone please come and take it away?'
These calls are funny to read about, but they can have very serious consequences (后果) . 'Every call takes about a minute,' said one man who works in emergency services. 'Maybe that doesn't sound a very long time, but in that one minute, other people are calling who really have an emergency. And for them, a minute might be really important.'
So let's get really serious: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} And of course, remember that you should never phone them with information that's untrue!
A. And it's hard to believe these calls are real! B. THINK before you call the emergency services. C. Can you give me his telephone number? D. Can you come and take them away, please? |
第二节请结合第一节内容,回答下面的问题。
When can we call the emergency services? {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
