13).Making a Telephone Call 打电话(1)

            The telephone system in the United States, as in many other
            countries, has a special number for each region of the country. It
            is called as "area code". If you know the area code and the phone
            number, it's usually cheaper to dial the number yourself. Of course,
            you must go through an operator to make person-to-person or cllect
            calls. You can dial direct to many countries
            overseas or you can ask for the overseas operator.
