Текст аудирования:
Interviewer: Today in the studio we are talking to Max Cooper, who works at one of the biggest airports of Europe — Heathrow Airport. Welcome, Max.
Max: Thank you.
Interviewer: Well, you know, Max, people sometimes compare Heathrow with a town.
Max: I believe they have all the reasons to do it. You see, about 54,000 people are working at Heathrow, and it is quite possible to compare it with the population of a country town. Every year about 500,000 international flights are made by 70 million passengers.
Interviewer: What are some of the problems you have to solve?
Max: They are very different. You see, for example, birds can cause real problems if they get pulled into the engines. That’s why our people work day and night to keep them away from the airport. The airport trucks have loudspeakers and send bird alarm calls that frighten the birds and they fly away.
Interviewer: Is there a police station in the airport?
Max: Certainly. It is situated near the centre of the airport. It has a huge board with pictures of known world terrorists. 300 police officers work at the station and they have dogs that can smell drugs.
Interviewer: Do accidents happen at Heathrow?
Max: Naturally, they do. But we have specialist and airport service that help people if such things happen.
Interviewer: Sometimes passengers may have health problems. Can they get any help in such cases?
Max: They certainly can. The Medical Centre at Heathrow has nurses and doctors who can offer passengers adequate and professional help. The most common illness is heart attack. Sometimes people die in this way while travelling to and from Heathrow.
Interviewer: When planes land and take off, there is usually much noise. What about night flights? Are there any?
Max: Because of the noise only few flights are allowed between midnight and six in the morning. So during the night Heathrow Airport has its most welcome visitor of all — silence.
