Ⅱ.阅读理解(2015 .山东德州)
Emergencies (紧急情况) don't happen very often. But when they do you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.
In 1968 the Untied States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16 1968 in Alabama. Today 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.
Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain it's 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area check your phone book.
When to call
Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt in danger right now!So call when there is a fire a car accident or sudden sickness etc.
When in an emergency call
When you dial the 911 operator (接线员) ,it's always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and dearly when you explain what's happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?
Don’t hang up (挂断) !
If you have to call 911 do not hang up until the operator tells you it's OK to do so. That way you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.
A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial (快速拨号) function.
