C.Why do you think so?
听力原文： Something strange happens every year from August 6 to 15 on the West Faronia Island in Greece: thousands of snakes crawl out of the cliffs and caves to gather under the picture of the Virgin in local church. Several days later, these snakes leave the picture one by one.
This has lasted for several hundreds of years. Stranger still, these snakes had cross-shaped patterns on their heads. They crawl here and there under the picture of the Virgin, never hurting anyone. They even let people touch them.
There is a beautiful legend to these snakes. Several hundred years ago, there lived 24 nuns in the Virgin convent on Faronia Island. One day. a group of pirates came invading the land. They tied the nuns with ropes and did insult to them. Unable to tolerate the humiliation, the nuns all committed suicide. They turned into 24 snakes, "Sacred snakes".
The yearly visit of these snakes to the Virgin happens to be associated with the local religious festivals held during these days on this island. That is why these snakes are related to religion. But why these snakes come out on these days instead of any other days, and why they gather under the picture of the Virgin, has remained a mystery.

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.

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.
