Now, here's a dialogue reviewing the material on this tape. 

Tom, a graduate student from Georgetown University, and Li Ping, a student from Hong Kong, are now on their China Airlines flight to Hong Kong.

在飞机上坐了这么一天,感觉怎么样?
真不舒服,每次坐飞机都像生病一样,特别是在飞机上换了时间,白天变成了黑夜,黑夜变成了白天,太难受了。
对了,不舒服的时候,应该喝点冰水,我去给你弄点冰水来,好不好?
好是好,可是我实在喝不下去了,算了吧,我们聊聊天,也许会好一点。
再过几个钟头,你就到家了,想家吗?
想,在美国两年了,一天忙到晚,没有想过家,可是现在想起家来了,你说奇怪不奇怪?
那没有什么奇怪,人嘛,总要有点家庭观念,特别是中国人,中国人是讲孝顺的。
我觉得做父母是很不容易的,孩子应该孝顺父母。
这个想法是你父母教你的吗?
不是,是社会教我的,我母亲从来不和我谈孝顺。
真的?真的?
我第一次赚钱的时候,才十五岁,回到家里,就把口袋里所有的钱都给我母亲了。还说我以后要孝顺妈妈。
你妈妈怎么说?
她哭了,她说我能独立,能在社会上做个有用的人,就是最好的孝顺。我给她的钱,她都给我买成书,以后我就更用功了。
真是一位好妈妈。
是,我写信给她,告诉她我要和一位美国朋友一起回来过暑假。她很高兴,她很欢迎你来。
对不起,两位先生,你们要喝点什么?
我不大舒服,不要什么。
不大舒服,一杯热茶好不好?
好的,谢谢你。
我来一瓶啤酒,你们有没有Hannick?
有。
谢谢。
不客气,这位先生,您还要什么?请告诉我。
好的,谢谢你。
我们说到哪儿了?
对了,你家里除了你父母和祖母以外,还有什么人吗?
你忘了,我还有一个妹妹在银行做事的。
对了,你跟我说过,我怎么又忘了呢?
说到我妹妹,就想到我母亲。你知道,在中国重男轻女的观念还是有的。可是我妹妹是离开大学以后,又在英国念了两年书才做事的。这也要感谢我母亲。
你妹妹现在只做事还是也念著书?
她只做事。不过她很热心研究大陆的情形,常看很多关于大陆的书。她常说,我是中国人,大陆上有十亿中国人。我怎么可以不知道他们的生活、工作和学习的情况呢?
她的话很有道理。
她有很多大陆来的朋友,你和她谈谈也会觉得很有意思。
她对大陆的情形这么热心,你母亲有什么看法吗?
她常说,孩子长大了,他们要走什么路,应该自己考虑。
真好,实在是太好了。
等到你见到她的时候,一定会喜欢她,也会喜欢我们家的。
一定。
