25、 when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more th
26、an state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy.

27、hness,“Yes, hundreds of times. “And you have nothing to declare?“Nothing. “How long have you been out of this country?“About three months. “And during that time you have acquired nothing?“Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. “He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The at
28、tack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.“Where did you get that watch?“I could have kicked myself. Two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twe
29、lve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.“It is n
30、ot a question of confiscation,“ he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?“It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.（分数：10.00）(1).When did the writer arrive

35、rst and your partner doesnt love you back? Or if they do say it but you dont feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张) ,and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weak
36、ness? Doesnt it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,“ says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal. “ All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if
37、a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of Ive always loved you moremay be subverted(颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often e merges in squabbling(大声争吵). “ In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “Th
38、e strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,“ says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who s
39、ays I love youfirst may also be the one who says Im bored with youfirst. “ Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you“ is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when theyre drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is Please d
40、ont be unfaithful to me? By saying I love you, they really sayDo you love me?If so, wouldnt it just be more honest to say that?“ Collins agrees that intention is everything. “Its not what is said, but how its said.

44、ls, they have a joke about the work interpreters do“Languages“, they say, “have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. “Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere
45、 linguistic ability.To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpretersassociations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting organizations ow
46、n school, or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job At Londons University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreters course if they can show that they have “lived a bit“, in the words of one lecture. Young p
47、eople who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life.The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs.
48、 This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament (裁军) on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday, multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry, on Thursday.Interpreters also rely on adrenaline(肾上
49、腺素)-which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job-to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and its known that their heart rates speed up while they are working.Its also a job with its own risks and excitement.
