Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised(答应)her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.
"If there were an accident. " He says, "they'd know soon enough. Bad news travels fast. "
But Linda has promised that she would ring. "However," she says, "it doesn't cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world. It's only six pence per second (每秒六便士). ,,
“If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, I'll eat my hat,” David says, "And one minute's nearly four pounds(英镑). "
"That's no more than you'd pay for a new hat," Linda answers.
She has asked the man at the hotel (旅馆) desk to get her the number . The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.
"Hello, Mum. Is that you?" She says.
"Six pence per second," David reminds(提醒) her.
"Hello, love. " It is Mrs. Lee, Linda's mother, speaking from London. "I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room. It's a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn't hear me sometimes. "
"Yes, Mum. " Linda puts in…" "I just wanted to ring to..."
"I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then when you …" Mrs. Lee is a great talker.
"Nearly four pounds. " says David.
Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye.
"Yes, all right," says Mrs. Lee, "But you will write, won't you, as you did when you were at work ..."
Once again, Mrs. Lee talks about the pass, and there is no stopping her.
"Four pounds fifty," says David.
At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
"There! That wasn't long, was it?"
"Four pounds, ninety pence. " David answers. "And you didn't even say that we've arrived. "

请根据下面短文回答第66—70题.
I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall overand they don't like it leans over the city.
I do not think it's a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down, it is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.
And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let's take the tower in Pisa. Wily is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.
66. This passage is about______.
A. Italian pizza
B. the Leaning Tower of Pisa
C. Why the writer likes Pisa
67. The writer used to think Pisa______.
A. the same as pizza
B. not very famous
C. not the same as pizza

A. doesn't like what the tower looks like
