I don’t understand what she said （).

听力原文：M: Say, Lisa, what are you watching？

W: An old Japanese film. I'm going to spend next year there, so I'd better start familiarizing myself with the culture (23) .

M: You mean you are accepted into the program？

W: Sure was.

M: That's wonderful. You must be very-excited.

W: Excited and nervous. You know I owe a lot to Professor Whitehead. He wrote a letter of recommendation for me and he bought me some tapes and books so I can work on my basic conversation skills (24) .

M: How much Japanese can you understand？

W: Not a lot right now. But I signed up for Intensive Japanese this semester.

M: I wish I were as talented as you are in foreign languages. I'd love to study abroad.

W: Then why don't you？ The university has lots of overseas programs that don't require mastery of a foreign language. The tuition is about the same. You just have to be the kind of person who is willing to accept new culture and who can also adapt to a different kind of life style. (25) .

M: Really？ I might check into this.

W: You won't regret it.

听力原文：W: What do you do for a living, Frank？

M: I am an aerospace engineer. I have been working for NASA for over fifteen years.

W: Wow, that sounds fascinating. What projects have you been involved in？

M: Well, until recently, I was heavily involved in the Cassini mission. I don't know if you're familiar with it or not. It's one of NASA's most expensive and ambitious projects. We are sending a probe to explore Saturn and its moons.

W: That sounds really interesting. Are you in any way involved in the construction of the international space station？

M: Actually, that's what I'm working on now. I'm currently a technical liaison between NASA and several European space agencies. It's an interesting job, but it can be a bit too much at times. The international space station is probably the largest international venture ever attempted, and I am constantly dealing with technical difficulties, budget problems, and delays. It's not easy coordinating the efforts of all those countries. I have been to Europe three times in the last month, and I have to go to Kazakhstan next week.

W: And I understand there's some controversy surrounding the space station. Don't some people worry that NASA is spending too much money on the project？

M: Many experts have complained that the project has grown out of control and become far too expensive. But I look at it as more than a space station; I believe it's helping to foster international scientific cooperation. It's nice to see the scientists of the world working together to create a stepping-stone to the future.
