　 Lisa greets a visiting businessman at the airport
　　 Lisa: The company has sent me to be your guide for the day. My name is Lisa.
　　 Terry: Call me Terry, Lisa. Glad to meet you.
　　 Lisa: Was your flight OK? Was airport security very strict?
　　 Terry: Of course. Since “Nine-eleven” security has been high everywhere. They even searched my shoes!
　　 Lisa: But they look like they were shined just five minutes ago.
　　 Terry: You're very kind. Tell me, Lisa－has Taiwan had any problems with terrorism?
　　 Lisa: No, but some people are worried about it, especially since Taiwan is a U.S. ally.
