三、阅读理解
My name is Betty Sanders. I'm a telephone operator（话务员）,and work for a company. My job is very interesting. I love it very much. I work five days a week, and my hours are from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock. I do a lot of things—I place long-distance（长途）calls for people; I answer questions, and I help people when they are in trouble.
Today, for example, I had an interesting experience. At 11 o'clock this morning, I got a call from a man. I don't know who he was. He was in trouble and I could tell that he was worried about something. He gave me an address and asked me to send an ambulance（救护车）right away. I asked him if somebody was hurt, but he didn't answer my question. He told me he needed a doctor at once, so I said I'd call an ambulance for him but I still wanted to know what happened. Then he said, “Our keys are gone!” I didn't understand that! Why would he need an ambulance just because he couldn't find his keys? Then I found out what the trouble was. The man and his wife left the car keys on a coffee table, and later they couldn't find them. Their little boy Johnny was playing in the room, and they thought he swallowed（吞下）them.
But before I could help him, he told me he won't need an ambulance anymore. His wife found the keys in her bag. They were there all the time.
