听力原文：W: What is the most popular comic presently in Japan？ Why do you think it is popular？
M: Nana is the most popular comic series because Japanese people can sympathize with this love story. Why Japanese people love comics is probably because riley do not show much of what they think or feel. So, they project their thoughts and feelings in comics.
W: Which part of Japan is the most famous？ And why？
M: The most famous part in Japan is Tokyo, the center of modern culture in Japan and all Japanese trends are born there.
W: What is the most important festival in Japan and why does it become so significant for the Japanese？
M: In Japan, the most important festival is the New Year's Holidays. Japanese people visit a shrine on New Year's day to pray for health and good future. Also, family gets together and many children receive money. Also, people clean the house before the New Year and eat toshikoshi soba for long life. And on New Year's day people eat osechi ryori, which is very special and delicious. I like New Year very much.
W: If I want to skiing, where should I go？
M: I think Nagano(长野) is the best place to ski in Japan. The reason is because the Winter Olympics were held in Nagano in 1998. The snow there is very soft and beautiful.
W: What kind of food do you like besides Japanese food？ Like American food, Chinese food？
M: Recently, young Japanese people eat with their friends at fast food restaurants like McDonalds or Yoshinoya. There are not many university students eating meals at home. I think that I am the same as those students. Also, Japanese like Italian, Chinese, and Korean food. But I like Japanese food the best because foreign food is too strong for me.
W: What do you think about Junlehiro Koizumi？ Is he handsome or look old？
M: I think Prime Minister Koizumi is a progressive person rather than a traditional one. He is active and has made good diplomacy, but his idea of tax increase is not good. I think capitalism is going to do big damage to poor people. Koizmni's capitalism is just like that of President George Bush. Is Koizumi handsome？ Well, I think he looks not all that bad.

If you want stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most our brains are not getting enough exercises—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
With a team a colleague (同事) at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.
" Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise (精确的) measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. " The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional facilities.
Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain, " he says, "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't rely on pocket calculators.

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back!

Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want.Every year many millions of people start learning one.

where it is spoken.However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary.They need the language in order to do their work better.For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language.Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work.Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him.
