Task IV Read the text and do the task after it.

The train pulled out of the station noiselessly and without a jerk. I was on my way. I started a conversation with my fellow-passenger opposite me (people take to each other quickly when travelling). He seemed to be bright and good-tempered.

I was somewhat surprised when the man said he didn't smoke and that he couldn't give me a light. I had been admiring the fine lighter which he had on the table by the window and of course I expected it would work. But I did not give the matter a second thought for we were rapidly approaching the frontier.

I was just trying to get some sleep when an official came into our compartment and asked for passports. He collected them, stamped them mechanically, and handed them back to us. As soon as he left the customs officers entered. They were extremely polite and much to our surprise didn't seem to J concerned about the goods we had with us. They asked each of us how much money we had with us and requested to see it. (I learned afterwards that large sums of money were being smuggled out of the country.)

The officers were quite satisfied that all was in order and were going to leave when one of them picked up the lighter to' light his pipe. The man opposite me made an involuntary movement and checked himself, saying that the lighter was broken. He was so embarrassed that it was clear he was trying^ to hide something. The customs officer noticed that, too, and offered to repair the man's lighter. He unscrewed the bottom of it and, to our amazement, began to draw out a thick roll of dollar bills of high value. "A lighter like this is too valuable to be left around," the officer said, and he asked the man to follow him out of the compartment.

2  The fact that the man couldn't give the narrator a light

b)  was rather unexpected.

c)  surprised him because his fellow-traveller used to be so helpful all the way to the frontier.

d)  was at the back of his mind as they were rapidly reaching the frontier.

3  When an official came into the compartment,

a)  he found the narrator fast asleep.

b)  he did his duty habitually, without fixing his mind on it.

c)  he went through the motions of the procedure mechanically pretending nothing was wrong.

d)  he warned the passengers that a lot of money was smuggled out of the country.

4  After a very quick survey of passengers' things the customs officers

a)  seemed dissatisfied with its results.

b)  were suspiciously polite with the passengers and quickly left the compartment.

c)  wanted to light a cigarette.

d)  liked to smoke a pipe.

6  One of the customs officers suspected that something was wrong

a)  after they were through with the thorough examination of the things.

b)  after one of them made a motion to take the light and tried to make use of it.

c)  because the man looked very embarrassed.

d)  after the officer unscrewed the bottom of the lighter.

7  The customs officers asked the owner of the lighter to come along with them because

a)  the man was a smuggler.

b)  they couldn't leave such a valuable thing as the lighter lying around.

c)  he was too nervous and it was clear he was trying to hide something.
