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.

W: Actually, it is the Alumni Association that's organizing this event. So, it's strictly a student to student event.
M: I hope we won't have to sit through a lot of boring speeches. I mean aren't these students just "brains" anyway. What can they actually do to help a guy like me？
W: No, these people are not "brains" at all. The Alumni are simply a group of normal, but grateful students who hope that, by sharing their experiences with new students, they can help more students to successfully graduate.
