It’s important to be polite and friendly when answering the phone, especially if you’re speaking to a stranger. When answering the phone, it’s important to know how to answer properly so that you can have a pleasant conversation.
Answer in a quiet environment. If you’re in a loud environment, move somewhere quieter before answering the phone, or turn down the music or television before answering. You want to be in a place that’s quiet enough so that you can hear the person talking to you, and that he or she can hear you.
Stop your other tasks before answering the phone. Take a short moment to collect your thoughts before answering. Don’t be distracted, as this could lead to miscommunication(误传)between you and the person you’re speaking to. If you’re free from distractions, the person you’re speaking to will feel that he or she has your full attention. For example, if you are working on your computer or reading a book when the phone rings, stop these tasks and then pick up the call.
Say “Hello” and tell your name in a pleasant voice. If you don’t know who is calling, you can add “This is Sam.” For a more formal answer, you can say, for example, “This is the Smiths’ house.” If you see on Caller ID that a friend or family member is calling, feel free to say “Hi Tom! How are you today ”
Take down the caller’s information if the family member he or she is trying to reach is unavailable. If the caller is trying to reach someone who is not at home or is unavailable, say “I’m sorry, Mrs Simpson. My father is not available right now. May I take a message ” Be sure to record the person’s name, phone number, and reason for calling clearly. If you don’t have a notepad (便条簿) nearby, ask the person on the line to wait when you quickly go to get one.

三、阅读短文,根据其内容完成文后的表格(每空不超过3个词)
It is said that the eyes are the windows of our soul. Thus, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention.
Firstly, you have to pay more attention to your diet. Have more fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk. It’s good for your eyes. Besides, a regular amount of Vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.
Secondly, you must have a regular sleep. It relaxes the eye muscles(肌肉)and gives them the rest required. Sleep can help the body to repair its tired tissues(组织).Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day.
Next, it’s necessary for you to exercise eyes every day. Blink(眨眼)your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs watery, and gives them a good wash.
Lastly, you should use your eyes in right ways. For example, if a small thing goes into your eye and you start rubbing it,it is wrong. Rubbing is harmful to your eyes. Don’t rub eyes when you read or write. You need to use sunglasses to stop the sunshine from shining directly into your eyes.
