On week nights, they don't close until 11: 30.

I bet she'd be willing to help you !

听力原文：W: I' m going over to the recycling center this afternoon. Would you like me to take your old newspaper and paper bags a long？
M: I do have a lot of papers and magazines down on the basement. Volunteers used to come by these apartments regularly to collect waste paper. I still save it but people seldom ask for it nowadays and I' ve never gone over to the recycling center myself.
W: That’s typical. A few years ago people were really enthusiastic about musing waste paper. Unfortunately, interest has been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use waste paper for things, like paper bags, towels, napkins and boxes. But the demand is down. I think they need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper.
M: I suppose things like greeting cards, calendars and writing paper could be made from it too. But recycled paper usually has a dingy color, doesn't it？
W: Well, it wouldn’t be suitable for art books or high-quality magazine paper. But who cares about the drab color if waste paper can take place of virgin wood pulp and so help to preserve forests. M: You are right. I'll bring my waste paper over to your apartment in a little while. Thanks for offering to take it.
According to the speakers, what products are now made from recycled paper？
A．Paper towels, napkins, bags and boxes.
B．Insulation for basements.

听力原文：W: Welcome to our program. Today Prof. Johnson is going to talking about solar power.
M: Thank you. As you can see, little by little, Americans are turning to solar power, tapping the strength of the sun for energy.
W: Yeah, that's true. Sunlight has already been used for heating or cooling homes and office buildings in the sunny south.
M: Experts say all signs point to the birth of the solar energy industry. Right now, an increasing number of companies are selling solar collector panels to heat and cool homes or to heat water. The glass and metal panels each cost from ＄100 to more than ＄500, and the three or four-bedroom home usually requires a dozen or more. They look like sandwiches. They are usually placed in rooftops. Nobody knows how many have been sold, and in addition, many people have built their own units. It has been estimated that solar power equipment will be a $1.3 billion industry by 1995, and more than a million homes will use sunlight for heat, air conditioning or to generate electricity, both in the cities and in countryside.
