第1题
M: I do have a lot of papers and magazines down in 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 have never gone to the recycling center myself.
W: That's typical. A few years ago people were really enthusiastic about reusing waste paper. Unfortunately, interest has been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use waste paper for things like paper bags, towels, 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 color which is not bright, doesn't it?
W: Well, it would not be suitable for art books or high quality magazine paper. But who cares about the dull color if waste paper can take the 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.
Why does the woman want to take old newspapers and paper bags with her?
A.Because she wants to read old newspapers.
B.Because she wants to help the man to throw them away.
C.Because she will go to the recycling center.
D.Because she wants to sell them for some money.

M: Of course not. I'm just going over to the recycling center this afternoon. Sometimes volunteers come by these apartments and collect waste paper. Sometimes I take the old bottles and papers there myself.
W: How do people deal with these old things?
M: Manufacturers use waste paper for things like paper bags, towels, napkins and boxes.
W: My god! Am I wiping my mouth on the towels from the dustbin?
M: You can't say so. Used material must be treated carefully and scientifically before reusing. For instance, an old newspaper can be recycled by de-inking and pulping.
W: Does the recycled paper look the same as the paper made from virgin wood pulp?
M: Well, inevitably, owing to its dingy color, art books and high quality magazine paper wouldn't use recycled paper. However, I suppose it's suitable for things like greeting cards, calendars and writing paper. After all, who cares about the drab color if waste paper can help to preserve forests?
W: Yes, forests may be one of the most valuable natural resources in the world. Regretfully, some people in my country haven't realized the importance of the environment protection.
M: In America, a few years ago people were really enthusiastic about reusing waste paper. But with the decreasing demand recently, interest has been waning. I think the government should do something to make people resume their enthusiasm in recycled paper.
W: Absolutely right. In addition, manufacturers need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper. Perhaps we can read comic books made from it just like in Japan.
