Australia has very strict laws relating to the importation and possession of certain goods. Food, plant material and animal products from overseas--including many common souvenirs -could introduce some of the world’s most serious pests and diseases into Australia. Failing to declare quarantine items (需要检疫的物品) on arrival could destroy our agriculture, tourism industries and special environment. 

       Every piece of luggage will be screened or x-rayed on arrival in Australia. So you must declare for inspection of all food, plant material and animal products to check that they are free of pests and diseases.

       You must tick YES on the Incoming Passenger Card(IPC) to declare if you are carrying any food, plant material or animal products. In signing the IPC, passengers are making a legal declaration and failure to answer all questions truthfully can have serious consequences. 

       If you fail to declare or dispose of any quarantine items, or make a false declaration:

       * you will get caught;

       * you could be fined over a $ 200 on-the-spot; or

       * you could be prosecuted and fined more than a $ 60,000 fine and risk up to 10 years

imprisonment;

       If you are not sure about the items you are carrying, ask a quarantine officer who will determine whether they are allowed into Australia.

1.The reason why you are asked to declare quarantine items on arrival is that _________.

Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain’s most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe(群体) —— the business tribe.

    You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used his brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn’t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.

    This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.

    “Ties offer a point of different," says John Milne, head of the British Guild of Tie Makers. “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”

    So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.

Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread of entrepreneurs(创业者) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people——but not the people wearing ties.

Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat——in fact his nickname was "hatless Jack". Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps "tieless Tony" (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as "hatless Jack".
