📖 Reading Passage
Campus Dining Services is excited to announce the expansion of our meal plan options for the upcoming semester. Starting in August, students will have the choice to add a 'Green Plate' option to their existing meal plan, which guarantees a daily plant-based meal at any dining hall. Additionally, the university will introduce a new late-night dining service at the Student Center, open from 10 PM to 2 AM on weeknights. These changes aim to promote sustainability and accommodate students' busy schedules.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the new meal plan options? I think it's a great move, especially the Green Plate thing. I'm trying to eat less meat, but sometimes it's hard to find good vegetarian options. This would make it so much easier. And it's good for the environment, too.
Man: I see your point, but I'm not so sure. The late-night dining is the real problem for me. I often study late at the library, and it's true that the current options are limited. But adding a new service at the Student Center is going to be super expensive. I bet they'll have to raise meal plan fees for everyone, even those who don't use it. That's not fair.
Woman: Hmm, I hadn't thought about the cost. But I still think the plant-based option is worth it. And maybe the late-night service can be funded by the extra sales, not by raising fees.
