Yesterday, a salesman called me by phone, on behalf of a telecommunication company, to sell his phone plans. I was at work and while I usually don’t _______ to spend time with those conversations, I _______ myself that I couldn’t talk yet and proposed him to call me back one hour later, at 6 pm.

That’s what he did. So we _______ 15 minutes. He explained to me his different phone plans, which he stated to be better than my _______ one. While listening to him, sometimes I was lost in my thoughts. I gave several “hmm hmm”, as a _______ of approbation (赞同) and to _______ to him that I was still there. Sometimes, I felt a bit _______, especially as he had a bit of difficulty in correctly talking in French. But I stayed calm and _______ until the end of the discussion.

At the end of the conversation, he _______ the following to me: “Thank you, Olivier. You are the first person in a long time, with whom I had a(n) ________ conversation. Usually, people ________ at us, insult us, and treat us as thieves. Today, since 10 am, I hadn’t had a(n) ________ without an offense. I know you had a long day at work and you could have ________ in front of your TV or done something else. Instead, you listened carefully to me. I am ________ and I sincerely thank you. I wanted to tell it to you.”

I thanked him for this revelation. I realized how much he could have been the subject of verbal ________, all through his working days. Yet, he was only doing his job. I hope he will have a good weekend.

Gorillas(大猩猩) are on the edge of extinction. They are calling on YOU to donate your phone today!

You can now help save gorillas in Africa simply by donating your mobile phone! Coltan is a metallic ore(金属矿石) that is mined both in and out of Africa and can be found within many electronic devices such as mobile phones. The mining of coltan within the Congo River Basin is contributing to forest loss there, and is speeding up the loss of mountain gorillas at a shockingly fast rate. While efforts are being made to deal with this issue, the mining of coltan within gorilla habitat continues. It is very difficult to know which phones contain coltan mined from Africa; however, every phone can help save gorillas when donated to They’re Calling on You.

By donating your phone through the They’re Calling You mobile phone recycling program you are:

●Preventing your phone from going to the landfill.

●Helping Melbourne Zoo raise money to support the Jane Good all Institutes monkey conservation work in Africa through the sale of refurbished(翻新)phones.

●Lessening the demand for coltan mining.

To support the They’re Calling You mobile phone recycling program you can:

1.Visit Melbourne Zoo to collect a postage paid recycling bag, and post your mobile phone to the Aussie Recycling Program. Your phone will be resold to poor community groups.

2.Register your support simply by emailing the registration form to zvfoundation@zoo.org.au or fax it to (03)9285-9377.

Schools can get involved too! Please contact Kate McCabe at Melbourne Zoo by email or phone(03)9285-9471 Discuss adding this program to your course while inspiring students to take action for wildlife.

For further information please contact: Rachel Lowry

Ph:(03)9285-9377

Mob: 0488-504-490

Fax:(03)9285-9340

Next time your mobile rings, let that be a reminder that “they’re calling on you”!

1.Why do you save gorillas by donating your phones?

A. Gorillas won’t be troubled by the ringing of cell phones.

B. Africans will protect gorillas easily by using phones.
