How you speak on the telephone is very important．If you use good telephone（1） ，the caller will be happy．If not，they may not want to deal with（打交道）you or your company（2） ．
First，make sure you answer the call formally（正式地），giving your name and the name of your company．（3） will let the caller know that you are professional．
You should also remember（4） as you speak，and use a friendly tone（语调）．If you sound bored or too busy，the caller will think you are impolite．
Your choice of words can make a big difference，too．For example，if you have not heard what a caller（5） ，it is much more polite to say "I'm sorry．Could you say that again，please？"（6） to simply say "What？"．
Similarly，if a caller asks to speak to someone，don't just say "yes" or "no"．If the person is（7） ，say that you will put the caller through to them．If they are unavailable，（8） where they are，and then take a message．
In either situation，you will also need to get some（9） about the caller，such as their name or company．Make sure you get all that you need ，and most importantly，ask for it（10） !

Many young people feel pressure to（7） these "perfect" people．But for most，this is just not possible．In the USA，the average（平均的）woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos，（8） the average model is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos．
When people don't look the way many（9） people look，they may become less confident．Some stop eating（10） in order to lose weight．Students can lose so much confidence that they start to（11） taking part in classroom activities at school．
Body image problems don't（12） as we get older，either．In the UK，for example，women over 50 spend more money on cosmetics（化妆品）than any other（13） group．Older men spend a lot of money trying to（14） hair loss（损失）．
Is there a solution to the problem？A 2016 study in the UK suggested that body image lessons should be provided in（15） ．Others believe it's a problem that all of society needs to deal with．As Meaghan Ramsey says，"We need to judge（批判）people by what they do，not what they look like．"

In American history， Benjamin Franklin was a scientist， inventor and writer as well as a leader of the American Revolution． （1） ．
Franklin wrote a book called "Poor Richard's Almanac"． （2） Some of them are still used today， like this one： "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy， wealthy and wise．"

（4） In other words， when you are in love with someone， you may refuse to see anything bad about that person．
Here is another popular saying about love： "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach．" Some people believe that a woman can win a man's love if she prepares his favorite foods．
"（5） " This proverb is true in love and war or other situations． It means that what you do is more important than what you say．
We have to stop here， so we must say， "All good things must come to an end．"
