In fact，you can make a ten-minute call anywhere in the continental United States for just $2.60.For even greater saving，always dial direct，that is，without an operator’s help. Rates (资;费) on direct calls are lower after five o’clock in the evening and lowest after eleven o’clock at night. Collect，person-to-person，and pay phone calls require the services of an operator，and they cost more than direct calls.Need to call out of the country?Now calls to many overseas places may be dialed direct.

Even if you are a good high-jumper，you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity. You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself，you will know how much gravity is pulling you.Since there is gravity，water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air，it falls back down. Because of gravity，you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.Then，can we get away from the earth and go far out into space?Now you can do it，because spaceships have been invented.
