IIII. Read the passage and answer the questions below it.

You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make a direct dialing call, you can ask the international operator to help you. This more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else. In this case you should ask for a ‘person to person’ call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the international line is busy, you can reverse a call: explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free. You can save money by calling outside office hours, e.g. early in the morning, late at night, and no Sundays.

1. What is the most expensive type of call?

2. What do you do if the international line is engaged?

3. When is it cheaper to make an international call?

4. What is the closest meaning to ‘major cities’?

5. What do you do when you cannot phone directly the person you want?

EDINBURGH AIRPORT

(Passengers: 267,808 international; 1,584,390 domestic)

When we recently visited all the airports in Britain to look at them from the passengers' point of view, we judged Edinburgh to be an extremely well-planned airport which met most of the standards we were expecting. Getting in and about: good signposting to the airport starts in the city itself, although there is a confusing stretch along the route where directions disappear for a while. The L-shaped terminal is wrapped' around the carpark and getting from the car to the terminal is consequently inside the terminal and a moving stairway makes it easy to reach the upper levels. Food and drink: the large bar and café on the ground floor are well furnished with proper chair and tables and there is a wide range of appetizing food. Upstairs there is another bar-clean and uncrowded-and a bright, cheerful restaurant (test meal 2.27) with newspapers to read. Flight notices were easily seen. Waiting (landside): there are not many seats outside the refreshment areas, although some are,provided opposite the 'arrivals' door. There is an excellent area for watching planes arriving and departing - decorated with masses of plants-a large shop and bank, plenty of payphones and telephone directories. The terminal is long and pleasant with much to interest a visitor with time to spare. Countless little touches add up to an enjoyable building. (airside): not surprisingly for an airport in which about 85% of the traffic is domestic, passengers on intermal flights are put first for comfort and convenience. Moving staircases take them speedily up to first-floor holding lounges; airbridges make boarding the planes easy. International passengers wait in a large and naturally-lit departure lounge, but must then walk along a corridor, down some stairs to the gates and across the concrete to the planes. Only one gate had an airbridge. Intermational arrivals walk back up these stairs, though passport control and then downstairs to collect their baggage.
