Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia．Linda has promid（答应)her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely．This is something she had done ever since she was a child。 David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little．
"If there were an accident．" He says, " aThey’d know soon enough．Bad news travels fast．”
But Linda has promid that she would ring．"However，” she says， ”it doesn't cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world． It’s only six pence per cond (每秒六便士).”
”If you’re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat，" David says， "And one minute’s nearly four pounds(英镑）．”
”That’s no more than you’d pay for a new hat," Linda answers．

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa。 But when I read the word Pisa， I was thinking of pizza 。I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza 。It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world， I thought。
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower。 I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me 。The tower got its name becau it really did lean to one side。 Some people want to try to fix it。 They are afraid it may fall over and they don't like it leans over the city。
I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it。 The tower probably will not fall down。 It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now？ And， if you ask me, I like what it looks like。 To me it is a very human kind of leaning。 Nothing is perfect。 It ems to say.
And who cares？ Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous？ There are many other older， more beautiful towers in Italy。 But Pisa tower is the most famous。 People come from all over the world to e it.幼兽
