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.
