A: Very well, we have settled everything about this transaction, except the terms of payment.
B: As you know, we prefer the L/C 20 days in advance which expires 15 days after receiving the paking list.
A: I suppose you have known our financial standing and credit well now after our long-term cooperation.We know an irrevocable L/C can ensure that the seller gets payment duly.But, on the other hand, it would increase the buying cost.Therefore, could you consider giving us D/P this time?
B: I am sorry.But our rules only allow us to accept other terms of payment by L/C, although the buyer has had two or three transactions with us before.
A: But why not if you have known the buyer's credit after several deals?
B: We hope you can understand.We have got some serious lessons from the credulity.One of them was through D/P documentary collection.When the shipment worth US $50000 was effected, the buyer refused to make the payment.But we can do nothing with it.And that buyer had had one or two deals before this one.
A: I see.But the flexible terms of payment will definitely bring you more orders as well as facilitate the buyers' purchasing.
B: Sure.We don't mean we won't accept other terms of payment forever.As a matter of fact, we will do so when we have known well about the buyer's credit after a real long-term cooperation.

听力原文: Most people know at least some of the old ways of predicting weather. Most of these older ways depended on careful observation of the behavior. of animals and insects and of the appearance of clouds, the sun. the moon and growing plants. But we are mostly city-living people and have forgotten the origin of many of these ways of foretelling weather. We should not laugh at these examples of weather wisdom, however. Since they are based on what people have seen year after year they are often quite accurate.
Animals are commonly thought to be more sensitive to changes in the weather than we human beings. Our senses have become dull: we are not so close to nature and our lives do not depend so much on warnings given by the senses as animals do.
Every country has its own particular weather wisdom connected with animals. In northern countries, where winters are hard, the behavior. of animals which hibernate or migrate is taken to indicate what sort of winter is coming. The squirrels may be seen gathering their food supply of nuts earlier than usual; the dormouse may dig more deeply than usual, the migrating birds may gather for their flight south earlier than usual. All these signs would be seen by the countryman as predictions of an especially severe winter to come. According to so many examples we could see animals are so sensitive, and their senses are more accurate than our human beings. If we'll find the extraordinary of their behaviors, so pay attention to it.
