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:Reports say Japan and US have reached an agreement on a dispute over air-cargo tr
听力原文: Reports say Japan and US have reached an agreement on a dispute over air-cargo transport rights in Asia. The agreement means Washington and Tokyo will re-negotiate 1952 Aviation Treaty which allowed American airlines to fly on from Tokyo to other places of Asia but didn't allow Japanese airlines the same way to fly on from America to other destinations. Tokyo has always said that the treaty was unfair and Japan has always wanted it changed. According to the agreement, Japan will allow American airlines carrier Federal Express to fly on through Tokyo to seven other destinations in Asia. Now Japan has always said it was happy to allow that if the treaty was re-negotiated. It does seem very clear that Japan will come out of this one on top. This is certainly not the first dispute and certainly won't be the last dispute, either. There are several outstanding areas of friction between Japan and US. At the moment, they are negotiating about photographic film and photographic paper. It could take a year to resolve. But even where the two countries do reach an agreement, there is still room for argument. They reach the famous car agreement about a month ago. They are still bickering about it.
Japan and the United States are now
A.negotiating about photographic material.
B.negotiating an automobile agreement.
C.facing serious problems in trade.
D.on the verge of a large-scale trade war.

听力原文: The US president's helicopter flew over the path of the deadly storm in the state of Alabama, where eight teenagers were killed Thursday in the collapse of a high school in the town of Enterprise.
The storm killed two other people in Alabama, nine in the neighboring state of Georgia, and a young girl in Missouri. Fourteen teams of experts from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are evaluating the damage to assess what federal assistance might be needed in situations that overwhelm state and local capabilities.
That agency and President Bush were widely criticized for their poor response to Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005, which killed more than 1,800 people along the Gulf Coast. Asked if the president's decision to visit the tornado-stricken areas Saturday was influenced by the political fall-out from Hurricane Katrina, White House Spokeswoman Dana Perino said that was never part of the discussion.
Traveling with the president, FEMA Director David Paulson stressed how much the response system has changed since Hurricane Katrina, telling reporters that federal officials no longer wait for state and local governments to be overwhelmed before stepping in.
Why are 14 teams of experts from the Federal Emergency Management Agency evaluating the damage?
A.To find out the lost people and animals.
B.To criticize the authority's poor response.
C.To assess the federal assistance needed.
D.To make clear the investment in agriculture.
