听力原文： There is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster than others and its popularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.
That product is foreign words. Gairaigo — words that come from outside — have been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers.
But in the last few years the trickle of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional Japanese.
"The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new," says university lecturer and writer Takashi Saito. "By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media to pick up."
"Experts often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers," said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute. "Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Japanese."
Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saito's Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of the many language books that are now flying off booksellers' shelves.
"We are expecting to sell the books to young people," said the writer, "but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of the Japanese."
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

189 international students, mostly from India, decided to attend Southern University.
Following his father’s footstep, Rajeshekhar Chimmalgi, a freshman of physics major from India, came to Baton Rouge in 1998 and attended Southern University. He has good things to say to hopeful attendees.
“At Southern, the physics department staff and students helped me get through the registration process and advised me how to study and what classed to take,” Cimmalgi said.

One of the easiest ways for them to feel comfortable is to be around people from their own culture. “I have some friends from Jamaica and Trinidad, so I don’t feel so out of place.” said one student named Boogle.
Farhana Lubna, a third semester graduate student from Bangladesh, feels that Southern could do more to make them feel comfortable.

Foreign students can usually get used to these differences easily. However, two examples of American casualness are very difficult for some foreign students to understand. First, students sometimes call their teachers by their first names. Instead of calling a teacher Mr. Smith or Professor Adams, they call them Tom or John. In some countries, it is not possible for students to" first name" their teachers. Second, American students sometimes criticize the ideas of their teachers.

Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
The most important thing when honoring guests from foreign countries is to accept and understand the differences. Here are some of the differences that people have in their different cultures.
In the United States, Britain and most Western countries, men should remove their hats (including baseball caps) when attending church services, at funerals and during the singing of the national anthem. A gentleman never wears a hat inside a building, and a guest who walks into someone's home wearing a hat is considered a buffoon whose parents did a bad job of educating their offspring——for it rarely rains inside a house!
The French are not rude, but they do not like smiles. They just believe that anyone who smiles a lot is an idiot. If you want to relate to the French, smile with your eyes, do not grin with your mouth.
Do not bring wine to dinner at the home of a French person; such an act is thought to show a lack of confidence in the host's wine choice. Flowers are more appreciated.
In Germany a gentleman stands behind a lady on an escalator going up, and in front of her on an escalator going down just in case she falls down.
The gesture that many Americans think to be universal to indicate "OK" or "I agree", or "Great" which is a hand sign that employs the fingers spread with the tips of thumb and index finger forming a circle, is an obscene gesture in many countries, notably Brazil and Southern Europe.
