听力原文:M: Hi, Mary. How's everything?
W: Fine. You know, John, I'm planning to go to Las Vegas for a holiday and would like to stay in a large hotel. Anything to recommend?
M: Er? the Hilton Hotel there is quite a large one. It has some 3, 174 bedrooms. It also has 12 restaurants and about 125, 000 square feet of convention space. There're a 10-acre recreation deck and a stage show dining hall. Over 3, 600 people now work for it.
W: Oh, great] Is it the largest hotel in the U. S. ?
M: Yes,it is. But it may not be the largest in the world. As far as I know, the Hotel Rossiya in Moscow is larger than Hilton. It is a 12-story building that has 3, 200 rooms. It can provide accommodation for 6, 000 guests. It takes nearly 8 years and a half to spend one night in each room. Besides, there's a 21-story"Presidential tower" in the central courtyard. It has 15 restaurants and 93 elevators. And it employs about 3, 000 people. The ballroom is known as the world's largest. Russians are not allowed to live in that hotel. And foreigners are charged 16 times more than the very low rate charged Russian officials.
W: It's unbelievable ? [ fade out ]

M: I'm not wasting the holidays as you say. The computer is a good thing. On the Internet you can go to any part of the world; I can see everything in the world. It's more real than reality.
W: But... but you can't spend your entire summer watching that screen. You'll get a big bottom.
M: I'm not just watching the screen. I'm doing a lot of things—I'm sending e-mails, I'm learning things, I'm chatting in chat rooms...
W: Right! But I'll bet you're spending most of your time playing computer games—a time-wasting, mindless activity that'll turn your brain into Chinese doufoo.
M: No, it isn't a single mindless pastime. It's many activities: role-playing games, arcade games, adventure games, strategy games...
W: I understand the computer is a wonderful thing, but you have to be careful not to get too much of a good thing. Every life needs some variety in it. It would be a lot healthier if you played a chess game outdoors, in the park.
M: It wouldn't be the same. In those games in the park I can't play against the grandmaster of Moscow, can I? And there are creative games in the computer, where I can learn city planning and psychology.
W: Well, what about me? Don't you think I'd like a little attention?
M: Now, Baby, that's no way to talk. After all this time together, you know I love you.
W: I'm not so sure any more. It's time you made a choice. Is it going to be me or the computer?
M: Well...

You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing 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(留下) 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, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country that 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.
What is the most expensive type of call?
A.Direct dial.
B.Through the operator.
C.Reverse charge call.
D.Calling outside office hours.
