听力原文：M: Hi. Lisa. Have you registered for the courses yet? W: yes, I have, Max. M: Oh, sorry, but...can you tell me...what is your major again? W: Sure. I major in computer science. M: Why did you choose it? As far as I know, most gifts do not like that. W: That's true, but not in my case. I am crazy about computers. Besides, computers are very popular and it will be easier td find a job after graduation and also computer-related jobs are well paid. M: Yes, I agree. Information technology does have a very big effect on our lives. It allows us to store very large amounts of information, transmit a lot of information quickly and process a lot of information as soon as we receive it. But, don't you think the Arts are quite interesting and creative? W: Yeah, I have nothing against the Arts. I just don't have talent in that area. Well, actually, many arts can be played, produced, and enjoyed through computers and the internet, for example, you can watch movies online and even receive TV programs from another country. Isn't that fantastic? M: It sure is. It seems that fewer people nowadays can appreciate traditional and fine art. W: I don't see anything wrong about that. Time is changing. Everything is developing. Why can't we have arts in a new way? M: Reasonable. But I still prefer the good, old things. W: Come on, Max. Don't you think it is much too expensive to study fine arts? And it is much less likely to be financially secure after graduation? M: Yeah...but many people choose arts to study in spite of that. (23)
