L11(1)：Not guilty
Customs Officers are quite tolerant these days, but they can still stop you when you are going through the Green Channel and have nothing to declare. Even really honest people are often made to feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. When I returned from abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.

'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye.'No', I answered confidently.
hæv ju ˈɛniˌθɪŋ tu dɪˈklɛr?' hi æskt, ˈlʊkɪŋ mi ɪn ði aɪ.noʊ, aɪ ˈænsərd ˈkɑnfədəntli.
'Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please?' 'Not at all,' I answered.
wʊd ju maɪnd ənˈlɑkɪŋ ðɪs ˈsutˌkeɪs pliz?' nɑt æt ɔl,' Ianswered.
The Officer went through the case with great care. All the thing I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up. He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.
