Original Answer: In the reading passage, the university decided proposed (建议使用"proposed"，因为这是一个提议，而不是已经决定的事情) to keep the music building open late. That means, in the previous, students always have difficulty to reserve the music building. Opening more hours can help the music building accommodate more students. In the conversation, the woman agreed with this plan. She said, as a musician student, they always need to make some practice. However, they have no place to practice, so they need to practice at their dorm room. However, that's a kind of ban because it will cause noise to the students who live nearby them. And second, opening more hours, that means it can have more time slots. In the previous, like the summer vacation or winter vacation, it's always every slot is being reserved by the students. For these two reasons, the woman agreed with this plan.

Revised Answer (140 words): In the reading passage, the university proposed to keep the music building open later than its current closing time of 9 p.m., as it would accommodate more students who want to reserve practice rooms. In the listening passage, the woman supports this proposal for two main reasons. First, she mentions that due to a lack of available practice spaces on campus, many music students are forced to practice in their dorm rooms, which can disturb other students who are trying to sleep or study. Second, she points out that extending the building's operating hours would provide more time slots for reservations, especially during busy periods such as before major concerts when demand for practice rooms is high. Therefore, she believes that keeping the music building open later would greatly benefit music students.

Revised Answer (140 words): In the proposal, it stated that students need to keep the practice rooms in the music building open until midnight. This would allow music students to practice late at night and accommodate more students who currently cannot reserve a practice room. During the conversation in the listening passage, the girl agreed with this proposal. She believed that having extended hours for practice rooms would provide music students with a suitable place to practice, rather than disturbing others in their dormitories while trying to keep their volume down. Additionally, she mentioned that having more available time slots would be especially beneficial before concerts when everyone needs extra practice time. By extending the music building's hours, students would no longer struggle with reserving practice rooms during these crucial periods.
