People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You've made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend：

Always be honest

Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. He or she may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares about you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never makes time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can't always listen immediately to your problems.

Always be respectful （尊敬的）

A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.

Always be understanding

It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving （体谅的）and understanding, even if it isn't his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn't want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.

Welcome to Burton Safari Park. Burton is one of Europe's oldest wildlife parks. Here you can see wild animals from all over the world - and they're not in cages. Before we start, we have some information for the animal's safety and for your own. First, please stay in your car at all times. If there is an emergency （紧急情况）or your car breaks down, please use your horn （喇叭） and lights and a person will come and help you. If you would like to stop, please do so on the left side of the road, so the traffic will pass on the right. Please don't feed the animals. Our animals are fed on special diets and your food could make them ill or even kill them.

We're starting our tour with some of Burton's most interesting animals, our four white rhinos （犀牛）from South Africa. The white rhino doesn't get its name from its colour; the African word white means wild. The white rhino has a wide mouth and it helps the animal to eat grass. Sadly, there are very few white rhinos left because humans hunt them for their valuable horns （角）. They can be made into things like handles（柄，把手）for knives.

1.Who is the speaker?

A.A chairperson. B.A tourist. C.A climber. D.A guide.

2.If you are in trouble, you can ______________.
