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.

听力原文：M: Good morning everyone. Well I think we can start straightaway by getting Rosie to do her presentation. Would you like to start, Rosie？
W: Yes, well, um, we've done a survey on local entertainment. Basically, we tried to find out how students feel about the entertainment in the town and how much they use it. So we've called our project "Out and About"...
M: Yes, that's a good title!
W: We wanted to find out how well students use the entertainment facilities in town... whether they get to see the latest plays, films... that kind of thing. Actually there were a lot of areas to choose from but in the end we limited ourselves to looking at two general categories: cinema and theatre.
M: Right.
W: OK. Well, first of all the cinema. In the town, there are three main places where you can see films. There's the new multi-screen cinema complex, the old park cinema, and a late-night odeon. In terms of audience size, the multi-screen complex accounts for 75% of all cinema seats, the park cinema accounts for 20% of seats and the late-night odeon has just 5% of seats.
M: Yes, as is shown in your chart.
W: As you probably know, the complex and the park show all the latest films, while the late-night cinema tends to show cult films. So, when we interviewed the students, we thought the complex would be the most popular choice of cinema... but surprisingly it was the late-night odeon. Most students said that if they wanted to see a film, they waited for it to show at the park because the complex is more expensive and further out of town so you have to pay more to get there as well.
M: Yes, and that adds to the cost, of course, and distracts from the popularity, evidently.
W: Well, next, we looked at theatres. There's the Stage Theatre in town, which is very old and architecturally quite beautiful. And there's also the large, modem theatre, the Ashtop, that has recently been built. But the thing about the theatres is that there's a whole variety of seat prices. Also, the types of performance vary... so students tend to buy seats at both and like using both for different reasons and if they want cheap seats at the Ashtop, they can just sit further from the front.
M: And anything else？
W: Yes. What we did find that was very interesting is that there are periods during the year when students seem to go to the theatre and periods when they go to the cinema and we really think that's to do with the budget. There's a peak around November and December when they go to the theatre more and then a period in April and May when neither is particularly popular and then theatre viewing seems to tail off virtually while the cinema becomes quite popular in June and July.
M: Mmm. I think you're probably right about your conclusions...
(23)
A．The entertainment on campus.
B．The entertainment facilities students use in town.
C．The kinds of films and plays students enjoy.
D．The cinemas and theatres students like to go to.

听力原文：W: Mr. Atkins, Would you please tell the court what you were doing when the accident happened and what you saw？
M: Yes, I was driving home from work. It was about 5:15, and there was a blue car in front of me. We were both driving along Harbor Road when a small white Ford suddenly shot out of a side road. It shot right in front of the blue car. The driver tried to stop, but it was impossible. He ran into the white Ford.
W: I see. Now, how fast was the car in front of you going when the accident happened？
M: The blue car？ 30 miles an hour. Certainly no more than that.
W: And the white Ford shot out without any warning？
M: Yes, that's right.
W: Then, how can you be sure the blue car was only doing 30？
M: Because I was only doing 30, and the blue car wasn't going any faster than I was.
W: Are you sure of that？
M: Yes, I am. I'm positive.
W: How can you be so positive, Mr. Atkins？ Were you looking at your speedometer when the accident happened？
M: Of course not. I was looking at the road ahead. That's how I managed to see the accident!
W: Well, if you weren't looking at your speedometer, how can you possibly be sure how fast you were going？
M: Because I never go faster than 30 on that road.

听力原文：W: Good evening! Welcome to our Talk Show program. Our guest today is Mr. David Smith, who had the experiences of studying abroad for seven years and then returning back home. Well, Mr. Smith, do you think going abroad was the hard part？
M: I don't think so, but returning back home was really hard.
W: Why？
M: Well, for many students, returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience.
W: Re-entry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it？
M: For example, many students who come to the United States experience freedoms they have never enjoyed in their country.
W: Sure, such as freedom from family, freedom from cultural norms they didn't like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job.
M: However, too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes, stay out late, and engage in activities that their families and cultures might not approve of, but students want to enjoy "freedom" while it lasts.
W: So when students return back to their countries, they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectations of the past.
M: Yes. Naturally, depression is possible and a loss of self can result.
W: Then what can students do to minimize this Re-entry Shock？
M: First of all, keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return.
W: What else？
M: Second, have a clear plan what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Re-entry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return.
(23)
A．How to go abroad for study.
B．How to enjoy the freedom abroad.
C．How to look for a job after returning back from abroad.
