The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970's was the enthusiasm for refurbishing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in 1960s, but it was in the 1970's, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation. As well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene.
One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston's eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thomson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking. Butler Square, in Minneapois, exemplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights.
San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio's leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which menders through the business district.
What is the main idea of the passage？
听力原文：W: I've got to make a phone call. There is a phone-box over there.
M: Now it is 5:30 already. Why don't you make a call later. It is cheaper after 6 p.m.
W: Is it？ Oh, good. I thought it cost the same. I'll wait till I get home then. Where can you find out how much phone calls cost？
M: You can find it at the front of any telephone directory.
W: Ah, I must have a good look. Does it give any other information？
M: Yes, you will get any information you need, such as the weather forecast, gardening information, etc.
W: Good. I'll have a look. How can I arrange an alarm call？ My brother's arriving from Paris early tomorrow and I must get to the airport very early in the morning.
M: Well. You'd better book before 10:30 p.m. the previous evening.
W: That seems simple enough. Actually I think I'll phone my brother this afternoon. I've got the phone number of his hotel, but what if he isn't in when I phone？ It could be expensive and I can't afford to keep phoning all afternoon.
M: Well. You could make a personal call. You can tell the operator your brother's name, then your message can be left for your brother and you would not pay any money until you talk to him.
W: Perfect. I'll do that. Thank you, Alan.

听力原文： Mass media are tools of communication. Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered audience. They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space. There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us. First, they inform. and help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to obtain on our own. Second, mass media help us to arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media. When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV. Because we are exposed to differing points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate all sides of a certain issue. Third, the media are used to persuade people. A good example is advertisements through the media. Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them. Fourth, the media also entertain. All of the media make some effort to try to entertain their audience. For instance, even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information, it also contains entertainment features. Television, motion pictures, fiction hooks and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment. It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.
