LISTENING TEXT
Leslie Clark, a Canadian from Vancouver, arrives in China to do some business in Luoyang, Henan Province.Her company sells buses.During her one-month stay she meets many Chinese people: officials, engineers, businessmen, store-owners, shop assistants, students, teachers, road workers and bus drivers.Most of these people try to make friends with her.A few of them invite her to dinners with delicious food and drink.They take her to visit interesting places and to a mountain in the countryside.She is given a comfortable room in the best hotel in town.Some people invite her to be their guest in their homes.Leslie is asked whether she thinks Chinese people are friendly.\"Yes,\" she says without a moment\'s thought,”I think Chinese are very friendly.?Everyone who asks her says that they are glad to hear it.However, when she got on the plane to fly home, another Canadian asks her,”S o, did you make any friends in China??Leslie replies, \"Yes, I made some very good friends.But I\'m really not sure about a few of the others, I think some of them just tried to be my friends for their own reasons.\"

Sample dialogue:
A: I agree with Leslie.What she said is true.In China, people are very friendly.
B: I\'m afraid I can\'t agree with you.Some people are, but sometimes they make friends to get a job or to get to know important people.I want to have friends to share my thoughts and feelings with.I want us to care for each other.Whenever you are in trouble, you don\'t feel worried if you have your friends.And your friends can get help from you too if they need it.Isn\'t that being a good friend?
C: Exactly.A friend in need is a friend indeed.You can not just think of yourself, you must think about your friend\'s needs, interests and feelings.
A: That\'s correct.But some people do try to use a friend- ship to help them make a lot of money.You need friends in business and Leslie is in business.So she has to expect that some people are being nice to her to get some advantage for themselves.
B: Yes, of course.But a true friend will last and stay friends for many years.Leslie will just have to see if the Chinese friends she made will stay friends for a long time.Then she will know true Chinese friendship.
