Read the following passage about London’s Heathrow Airport and write A, B, C or
D for questions 61 – 70.
A.PASSPORT CONTROL
If you are not transferring to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must
pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you
are not British or a citizen of a country in the European
Community, you must fill out a special form called a landing card before your passport is
examined. This card should be given to you during the flight. However, you can also
obtain one inside the terminal building.
When you enter the terminal building from your aircraft, follow the ARRIVALS signs.
Make sure that you are in the right channel when you reach PASSPORT CONTROL.
There is one channel for holders of European Community passports and a second channel
marked “Other Passports.”
B.GETTING YOUR LUGGAGE
If you have luggage which was carried in the aircraft hold, follow the BAGGAGE
RECLAIM signs after your passport has been examined. If you have onlv hand luggage,
pass through the baggage reclaim area and follow the CUSTOMS sign.
C.CUSTOMS
All passengers arriving from a country outside Britain and Northern Ireland are allowed
to bring with them a certain quality of duty free items. You can get information about
how much you can bring by reading the signs marked Duty Free Allowances in the
baggage reclaim area.
There are three Customs Channels: the Red Channel, the Green Channel and the Blue
Channel. If you have something to declare, or if you are not sure about your Duty Free
Allowance, you must go through the Red Channel. Passengers arriving from outside the
European Community with nothing to declare must go through the Green Channel.
Passengers arriving from the countries in the European Community with nothing to
declare must go through the Blue Channel.
Please note that Customs Officers may stop you at any time and examine your luggage as
you go through the Green or Blue Channel.
D.TRANSIT PASSENGERS
If you are immediately transferring to another flight at Heathrow that is not bound for a
destination in Britain or Northern Ireland, you are a transit passenger and do not have to
go through the procedures above.
All transit passengers should follow the black and yellow TRANSFERS signs Airport
staff at the Transfer Desk and at other places in the terminal will direct you to your
departure gate.

– something you must do if, for example, you have a US or Japanese passport?
– people who are going to change planes at Heathrow and go to another foreign country?
– tobacco, alcohol and other things with special tax on them?
– people of all nationalities who have just come from countries like Japan, the USA,
Argentina?
– people of all nationalities who have just come from countries like France, Italy,
Germany?
– the first thing you do after you get out of the plane at Heathrow?
– special signs for people who have not yet completed their journey?
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
Your mind’s ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory. There are
two kinds of remembering, recall and recognition. For instance, you may not be able to
recall the poem you read yesterday in class, but if you see it again, you will know it
instantly because you recognize it.
Some few people have “total recall”, often spoken of as photographic memory. A person
with total recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read only once, or play a
musical composition after hearing it once. This is very unusual, however, and most
people have difficulty in remembering even the names they heard the day before. This is
not because most people lack the ability to remember, but because they had not paid
much attention to what they heard. They felt no personal reasons to remember. Having a
personal reason for remembering is one of the most important factors in a good memory.
When you have a strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you read or listen, and
try to connect the new information to things you already know. A detail is easy to
remember when it fits into a whole that makes sense. If you understand the entire history
lesson before you try to remember any particular dates, your memory may surprise you.
