An 11?month?old baby helped raise the alarm that her mother had fallen down unconscious by using a mobile phone.
Amelia Boyle，known as Millie，picked up the ringing mobile and answered the call when her mother Elizabeth,20，fainted in the hall of their home.
Linda Wright，Millie's grandmother，was on the other end of the line and heard the baby say “Who's that？”and “Mama”．

“She was moving around playing with some toys when I suddenly fainted between the passage and the living room blocking the stairs.”
“My mum phoned me back on the home phone and when she didn't get through，she tried on the mobile，then the home phone again.”
She added，“I am so lucky to have Millie.”
“Millie does not seem to be disturbed by it.She must have watched me open the phone—she is not usually allowed to play with it because she tends to stick it in her mouth.”
“She is a very clever little girl.I was proud of her anyway but now she is even more special.”
Mrs.Wright said，“If Millie hadn't answered the phone，I wouldn't have known what had happened.”

It’s hard not to feel cheated and over-charged when you receive unexpected roaming (漫游) charges while traveling abroad—whether they come from making phone calls or checking e-mails.
Jeff Gardner received an $ 11,000 bill from Verizon after spending four days in Jamaica. Before the trip, Mr. Gardner, who runs a fly-fishing business in Grayling, Michigan, said he called Verizon to find out what it would cost to use his cellphone for calls and his wireless card to check e-mails while in Jamaica. He said he was told that calls would be about $ 2 a minute and that there would be no extra charges for data as he was on an unlimited plan. The latter part turned out to be wrong.
“I don’t mind paying a fair amount for fair service, but $11,000 for four days is ridiculous,” said Mr. Gardner, who used his phone carefully and economically on the trip. He also tried to check and send e-mails using his wireless card, but quickly gave up after the e-mails didn’t go through. Still, his Verizon bill said more than 500,000 kilobytes (千字节) of data was delivered while he was in Jamaica, an amount Mr. Gardner said is 100 times what he normally uses in a month.
As travelers increasingly use smart phones abroad in the same way they do at home—to check e-mails, update Facebook and Twitter and pull up online maps—many are facing costly roaming fees, which providers charge when customers use their phones outside their service area. In fact, roaming charges have gotten so out of hand that the Federal Communications Commission has proposed a plan that would require wireless companies to send their customers a voice or text message when they are approaching their plan’s limit, when they have reached that limit and when they are starting to result in roaming fees.
1. Why did Jeff Gardner call Verizon before his trip to Jamaica?
A. To hand over his business.
B. To check his cellphone bill
C. To find out information about Jamaica.
D. To find out information about roaming charges.
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Extra charges were made for Jeff Gardner’s data delivery.
B. Jeff Gardner’s calls were charged over $2 per minute.
C. Jeff Gardner’s plan turned out to be limited.
D. Jeff Gardner had difficulty delivering data abroad.
3.During the trip, Jeff Gardner______.
A. was careless with phone use
B. delivered no more data than at home
C. received quite poor e-mail services
D. frequently used his wireless card to send e-mails
4.What should wireless companies do according to the Federal Communications Commission?
A. Make customers know when they’re outside their service area.
B. Get customers informed when they’re near the limit of their plan.
C. Stop serving customers when they’ve reached their plan’s limit.
D. Limit some services to reduce the amount of roaming charges abroad.
