Telephone books in the United States have white, blue and yellow pages. The white pages list people with phones by last names. The blue pages contain(包含) numbers of city services, government agencies and public schools. Business and professional services are listed in a special part, the yellow pages. To make a long-distance call, you need an area code(區(qū)號(hào)). Each area in the United States has an area code. The area covered by an area code may be small or large. For example, New York City has an area code. So does the whole State of Oregon(俄勒岡州). If you want to know the area code of a place, you can look it up in the area code map printed in the front of the white pages. There are a lot of public telephones in the United States. They have their own numbers. If you are making a long-distance call on a public telephone and run out of money, give the number on your phone to the person you’re speaking to. Then hang up the receiver and he will give you a call. If you make a long-distance call and get a wrong number, call the persons who operate calls and explain what has happened. This means that you can make the call again to the right number without having to pay more money.
