　　　 My name is Betty Sanders. I’m a telephone operator, and I work for Universal Telephone Company(UTC). My job at UTC is an interesting one. I work five days a week, and my hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. I do a lot of things-I place long-distance

calls for people, I answer questions, and I help people when they are in trouble.

　　　 Today, for example, I had an interesting experience. At eleven o’clock this morning, I got a call from a man. I didn’t know who he was. He was in trouble and I could tell that he was worried about something. He gave me his 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. I still wanted to know what was wrong. 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 John was playing in the room, and they thought he swallowed(吞下) them. But before I could help him, he told me he wouldn’t need an ambulance any longer. His wife found the keys in her bag. They were there all the time.
