By the look of surprise I have received from fellow passengers, I had feared they might be strict. The most amusing thing was that everyone officially concerned, at he airports and in the air, had referred to Bijou as “a live dog”, for I could not imagine a dog other than a live one travelling anywhere. But regulations are meant to be obeyed, so “live” he was. I had been given a box for him to travel in if he needed it, called a “Courtesty Kennel”; and it was this box that had brought the sleepy light of suspicion to the eyes of the Customs Officer when I had stood before him. He had thought, as his question made clear, that I was trying to bring ina colour TV set or something similar, subject to a high rate of duty. When he found the box contained only a dog – “Ah, a live dog!” he exclaimed with some disappointment – he waved me away with the rest of the passengers going through unchecked. Outside the Arrival hall we joined the queue for a taxi. Being a party of only one, human at any rate, I was not too popular with the drivers, who probably made more out of groups, unless it was Bijou thay did not like, and we had to wait until everyone else had departed. At last I was courted for my trade, and I selected from the queue now lacing me a large blue car, whose drivers offered to take me to a “hotel comfortable”, and Bijou and I got in. We had driven less than a hundred meters when a policeman on a motor – cycle stopped us. The driver and he began a furious argument through a taxi window. Now if there is anything that annpys Bijou, it is the sound of human voices raised in anger, and he tries to drown the voices with barking. He did that now. The policeman orfered us out. The driver turned to me, “The dog must get out, sir” he said. “In our country it’s illegal to carry them in taxi. Never mind, we’ll put him in the back with your cases. I’m sorry about this, but we”ll son…” 4
So Bijou, with much loss of dignity, was banished to the back. The policeman , red in the face, drove of. So we did, but only until the motor – cyclist was out o sight. The we stopped again, and Bijou rejoined me. Soon we reached the hotel. 76. What does the passage tell us about importing a dog to that country? A. The regulatión made it dificult to impỏt a dog. B. If the dog was hidden in a box, no one worried about it. C. There seemed to bo no control on the arrival of a dog. D. The officials were araid of dogs, so they refused to let them in. 77. Regarding Bijou, the writer wondered A. what other kinds of dog travelled by car. B. why so many officials were worried about the dog. C. whether other people minded travelling with a dog. D. why it was necessary to say he was alive. 78. Why was the Customs Officer suspicious? A. he believed the writer wanted to avoid paying duty. B. He had doubts about the health o the dog. C. Because the dog’s ower preferred not to open the box. D. He asked a quesyion which the passenger could not answer. 79. In the end the writer had a choice of taxis because A. other people reused to ride with him. B. he was the only traveller left. C. he threatened to report the drivers. D. the others in a queue went by bus. 80. When the taxi pulled up the second time A. the dog was tired o running. B. the policeman pretened not to see what was happening. C.
