The telephone box, with two broken panes of glass in the side, stands at the junction of two main roads with buses, lorries and cars roaring past. It is pouring with rain as George joins a queue of four depressedlooking people. Time passes slowly and seems to e to a standstill while the person immediately before George carries on an endless conversation, pausing only to insert another coin every minute or so.Eventually the receiver is replaced and the caller leaves the box. George enters and picks up one of the directories inside, only to discover that someone unknown has torn out the very page he needs. Nothing for it but to dial Directory Enquiries, wait patiently for a reply (while someone outside bangs repeatedly on the door) and finally note down the number given.At last George can go ahead with his call. Just as he is starting to dial, however, the door opens and an unpleasantlooking face peers in with the demand, ‘Can’t you hurry up?’. Ignoring such barbarity, George continues to dial and his unwanted panion withdraws. At last he hears the burrburr of the ringing tone, immediately followed by rapid pips demanding his money, but he is now so upset that he knocks down the coins he has placed ready on the top of the box. Having at last located them, he dials again: the pips are repeated and he hastily inserts the coins. A cold voice informs him, ‘Grand Hotel, Chalfont Wells.’ ‘I’ve an urgent message for a Mr Smith who is a guest in your hotel. Could you put me through to him? I’m afraid I don’t know his room number,’The response appears less than enthusiastic and a long long silence follows. George inserts more coins. Then the voice informs him, ‘I’ve been trying to locate Mr Smith but the hall porter reports having seen him leave about a minute ago.’Breathing heavily, George replaces the receiver, just as the knocking on the door starts again. main intention of the passage is to provide（　　　）A. instructions about how to use a public call boxB. advice about how to deal with public telephone problemsC. criticism of the efficiency of the telephone systemD. an account of possible annoyances in using a public telephone of the following calls are you unlikely to make at the ‘cheap rate’ referred to?（　　　）A. to discuss your account in a bank in ScotlandB. to have a chat with an elderly relationC. to ask about a friend in hospital who has just had an operationD. to express Christmas greetings to cousins in Australia can at least be thankful that（　　　）A. the call box is in a convenient positionB. the telephone itself is workingC. he can use the directory in the box to find the number
