Dialogue A
Betty：Hello，Taxi！
Driver：Hello. What can I do for you？
Betty：We'd like to go to Tiantan Park.
Driver：Get in，please.
Betty：One of my friends told me it's very difficult to get a cab in Beijing.
Driver：That was several years ago. Now you see taxis every-where in Beijing.
Betty：And the price is rather cheap. What is the rate？
Driver：Mine is 2 yuan a kilometer. Some others，like those yellow ones，are much cheaper，only 1 yuan per kilo-meter.
Betty：Do you use the meter？
Driver：Here it is. That's the regulation.
Betty：Do you receive tips？
Driver：No，never.
Allen：How nice you people are.
Betty：Do you make cars in China or import them from abroad？
Driver：We used to buy a lot from Germany and Japan，but now we've begun to produce them ourselves. We have several good jointventure car plants in China.
You see this red one，that black one and the blue one here are all made in China.
Betty：How nice！Does this car belong to you？Do you have a good business being a taxi driver？
Driver：I've rented the car since last year. It's too much for me to buy this luxurious one. Look at those yellow minis，the drivers are almost all the owners.
Betty：I see.
Driver：Here we are.
Betty：That's 30 yuan. Keey the change.
Driver：Just a minute. Here's your change.
