We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.
Using your NatWest Service Card
     As a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, whenever you see the Switch logo. The money comes straight out of your account, so you can spend as much as you like as long as you have enough money (or an agreed overdraft (透支) to cover it). It is also a cheque guarantee card for up to the amount shown on the card. And it gives you free access to your money from over 31,000 cash machines across the UK.
Using your NatWest Cash Card
     You can use your Cash Card as a Solo card to pay for goods and services wherever you see the Solo logo.  It can also give you access to your account and your cash from over 31,000 cash machines nationwide. You can spend or withdraw what you have in your account, or as much as your agreed overdraft limit.
Using your cards abroad
     You can also use your Service Card and Cash Card when you’re abroad. You can withdraw cash at cash machines and pay for goods and services wherever you see the Cirrus or Maestro logo displayed.
    We take a commission charge (手续费) of 2.25% of each cash withdrawal you make (up to￡4) and a commission charge of 75 pence every time you use Maestro to pay for goods or services. We also apply a foreign-exchange transaction fee of 2.65%.

名师把脉

本次A篇阅读的话题是有关Nerwast银行所提供各类人们生活便利的银行卡、信用卡，介绍了使用的方便性及相关费用。

步步为赢

第66题为信息推测题，可根据文章首句“We have designed all our bank cards to make your
life easier”及后面的“ You can withdraw cash at cash machines and pay for goods and services wherever you see the Cirrus or Maestro logo displayed. ”说明用Natwest的银行卡取现金是很方便的。

第67题为细节题，关键词是(up to￡4) ，定位在We take a commission charge (手续费) of 2.25% of each cash withdrawal you make (up to￡4)，注意括号里的内容，最多收费￡4.所以答案选A.
