Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

It is not good manners to stop a person on the street or in a shop, or in

the performance of any duty and to talk to him for ten, fifteen or twenty minutes just to

pass the time of day. We can tell that a person is in a hurry to get somewhere or he is

doing something and we know enough not to interrupt him for any length of time. Yetsome of us think nothing of calling someone on the telephone, interrupting him without

a thought about what he may be doing and chattering away, forgetting about time or

anything else. Perhaps we don't consider our telephone conversation an interruption

because we don't see what we have interrupted. Naturally we must observe the common

courtesies over the telephone. But we must remember that one of the courtesies

of telephoning is to be brief.

Never ask anybody to guess who you are. The person you are telephoning may notbe in a guessing mood. If you know him, you may want to ask after the state of his health

and that of his family, but as soon as you possibly can, do get on with your business. He

certainly wants to know why you are telephoning him. When you are finished with your

business, you might take a moment to observe the natural courtesies of conversation,

expressing your thanks before ending your call.

From the way the telephone is used in your home, you would hardly suspect that

this is an instrument on which very important business transactions are conducted. Thereare times when even you are called upon to be business like, brief and effective on the

telephone.
