Mobile homes, pulled by specially designed trucks have been increasing in numbers allover the United States. Often, driving along, you can see some mobile homes high on a hill. Some stand under trees along a river or a lake. They're wonderfully built homes. Sometimes they're as much as 40 feet long, with two to five rooms, and you can find many things you need in them. When you park your mobile home, water, electricity power and telephones are connected, and you can enjoy yourself there. The fact that these homes can be moved doesn't mean that they do move all the time. Sometimes their owners stay for years in one place, plant gardens, build walls and so on. These homes are often quite expensive. Some even cost $ 20,000. Why does a family choose to live in such a home? Well, it's comfortable, easy to keep clean, easy to keep warm, no need to paint. What's more, the fast increase of mobile homes in numbers has something to do with the job uncertainty (不稳定性). Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. If a factory closes down, you may be trapped with the house you can't sell. However, if you have a mobile home, you can move on easily. The greatest selling attraction of these mobile homes is that they can be improved every year. If you're doing well, you may change a new model just as you do with a car. There is a ready market for used ones, so the price of the mobile homes is higher than that of automobiles (汽车).

Questions 23-28

•Read the newspaper article below about business telecard.

•For each question (23-28), choose the correct answer.

•Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.

BUSINESS TELECARD INTERNATIONAL

You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the UK. Here is some information about making international phone calls.

You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make direct dialling calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else; in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person” call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays.

If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call; explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.

You can save money by calling outside office hours, e.g. early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time); London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem; change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the Summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in Spring and put back in Autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the Summer. If you are unsure about the time, the operator-will help you.

You can use your Business Telecard International for domestic calls as well, but there will be an additional charge over the standard rate.

What is the most expensive type of call?

A．Reverse charge call.

B．Through the operator.

C．Direct dial.
