The Beauty of Norway Before traveling to Norway, all I had heard about this high-latitude1 country was its abundanceu of natural resources2, how extremely3 difficult it was to travel there on a budget4, and, of course, Viking folklore5. It wasn’t until I broadened6 my horizons by visiting Norway that I realized there’s much more to tell about this country. One thing that isn’t to be missed is the popular sightseeing7 trip “Norway in a Nutshellu.” This tour, which can be arranged online, lets travelers8 take in9 magnificent10 sights. Ferrying11 inland12 along the fjordsu, visitors will be amazed by the steep13, awe-inspiring14 cliffs15 cut out by glaciers16. Green trees grow on the sides of mountains capped with white snow, where flowing waterfalls can sometimes be spotted. The boats pass by several small, rural17 villages and farms located on the banks, showing what civilization18 is like in this isolated19, heavenly20 world. In a nutshell, the tour will make you see why visiting Norway is worth the expense21.

Protecting Africa’s Beauty Kruger National Park, in operation1 since 1927, is South Africa’s oldest national park. Almost two-thirds the size of Taiwan, it is estimated2 that 300,000 animals, predators3 and prey4 alike, occupy5 the park. Some one million tourists access6 the park every year to take an intimate7 look at nature in its original8 condition. Kruger Park is a safe and wonderful place to hike9 and get a little taste of wild Africa—as long as you don’t go wandering10 off alone. There are many large animals hiding in the bushes11. There is the possibility of seeing a crocodile12 floating in the water, a herd13 of hippos lying in the shade14, porcupine gnawing15 on bones, or one of the Big Five mammals16—elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard. The park acts as a reserve17 to protect these beautiful animals from mankind18. Hunting on the grounds is strictly forbidden19. More than hunting, the spread of agriculture20 has destroyed their natural homes. Only by carefully protecting these animals will we keep them from vanishing21 completely.
閱讀理解 請在下列選項中，選出最適合的答案。 q Why was Kruger National Park established? (A) To protect the Big Five from other animals (B) So zoo animals could live in the wild (C) Because the animals needed protection from humans (D) So people had a better place to hunt wild animals w What best summarizes the article? (A) South Africa protects its wild animals from humans. (B) Kruger National Park is South Africa’s oldest park. (C) Many animals live in Kruger National Park. (D) Thanks to Kruger National Park, animals will not vanish completely.

Art lovers in particular will be fascinated11 by Museum Ludwig. Its galleries12 host some of the world’s finest contemporary13 art, not limited to its enviableu American Pop Art collection and an impressive Picasso collection. Overlooking14 the city is Cologne Cathedral15, a massive16 Gothic masterpiece17 and UNESCO World Heritageu Site. This beautiful building was designed and ornamented18 to house the Shrine19 of the Three Kings, said to contain the bones of the biblicalu Wise Men. Understandably, the cathedral is the most visited landmark in Germany. For the adventurous a 533-step climb up the tower affords20 marvelous21 views of the city. After sightseeing, make sure to try some traditional cuisine 22. A popular meal in Cologne consists of Kölsch beer and Halve Hahn— rye bread served with cheese, butter, and mustard23. Other regional fare includes Mettbrötchen—raw24 chopped pork served on rolls with raw onion—and Himmel un Aad, translated25 as “Heaven and Earth”, which combines mashed26 potatoes and apple slices27 accompanied28 by German blood sausage.

5 Finding Happiness in Denmark
As evidenced by the country’s status4 as one of the most bicyclefriendly nations in the world, Denmark is a leader in green living. Over 12,000 kilometers5 of fairly6 flat bicycle tracks allow you to cycle across islands, over bridges, and onto ferries. With an organized bike tour, you can conveniently book a bike, choose your route7, and have your luggage transferred8 from place to place. Pedaling9 past a background10 of historic sites and rows of colorful houses will acquaint11 you with Copenhagen’s overall12 outline13, but several points of interestu deserve14 a closer look. New as well as oldfashioned rides create a charming atmosphere 15 at the 175-year-old amusement16 park Tivoli Gardens. You also shouldn’t overlook several castles around Copenhagen. Kronborg Castle, the inspiration17 for the setting of Shakespeare’s tragedy18 Hamlet, boasts stunning19 Renaissanceu interiors20, and Rosenborg Castle houses the Danish crown21 jewels. Why not conclude22 a tiring day of castle hopping with dinner in Nyhavn? Once a commercial23 port, today it’s where locals go for food and fun. The father of the modern fairy tale24, Hans Christian Andersen, lived in Nyhavn and wrote some of his most famous stories there. With cultural and natural attractions25, and where green living sits high on the agenda26, Danes have much to smile about. Visit Denmark and let some of that happiness rub offu!

Life in a Frozen Land At first glance1, the frozen Arcticu appears empty2 of life. The air is so cold that bare skin freezes 3 within five minutes. Despite these harsh4, dreadful5 conditions, this land sustains6 at least a dozen species of wildlife7. Arctic animals are often fat, fluffyu creatures. They depend on natural defenses8 to tolerate9 the winter environment. Their layers10 of fat and fluff keep them warm and protect them from icy winds. Many grow distinctive white fur11 that allows them to hide in the snow, and most animals move very slowly to preserve energy. In the spring, blades12 of grass will poke 13 up through the blanket 14 of snow, and colorful wildflowers will flourish15 as the snow melts. Spring warmth16 will cause white fur to change to colors that blend in with this new environment. Many animals are so well adapted17 that they never leave the confines18 of this geographical19 region.

The Benefits of Conserving Water It is important to protect our environment, and one of the best ways to do this is to conserve1 water. Water is one of the most valuable resources on our planet. Water is used for drinking, growing crops, and producing energy. Sadly, the world’s supply of water is under threat2. People have persisted3 in neglecting4 water conservation, and changes in the global5 climate mean that droughtsu and water-usage restrictions6 are becoming increasingly common. Hope is not lost. You can take simple steps that will make a big difference. Using less water when showering and brushing your teeth should be routine7, even if only to be financially8 sensible. To really make an impact environmentally, you can campaign9 for government water conservation projects. Campaigns may urge10 for a change to the framework11 of conservation laws so that greater penalties12 are set for violating13 minimum14 standards. The passage15 of such regulations16 would lead to changes in habits taking place at home and in industries more swiftly.17 Agricultural18 businesses put the greatest demands19 on fresh water worldwide. It’s vital20 that this industry use this resource responsibly. Many farmers schedule 21 daily, automatic irrigation u of their crops. However, paying attention to rainfall22 would make the watering of crops unnecessary occasionally. Farmers should also recover23 excess24 water before it absorbs chemicals from the ground and drains25 into public water systems. The water could be reused rather than being allowed to pollute26 streams and rivers. Manufacturers27 can also do their part by making farming machines that irrigate efficiently. Conserving water benefits everyone. Simply put28, it is a smart thing to do. By conserving water, you can help save energy, money, and our planet.

7 The Benefits of Conserving Water
Many global campaigns have been started recently to try to q our oceans. One of the biggest w our oceans face is from plastic pollution. If people persist in the e use of plastics, the problem will not be solved. There should be more regulation on the use of plastics from governments, and manufacturers must be urged to look for other materials for their products and packaging. As well as using less plastic, people should try to recycle what they do use, and r could be introduced for not recycling. It is essential that we act swiftly to demand change, because if we continue to t our oceans, we will all regret it later.

Nitrogen Footprint In quest1 of a greener environment, many people are concerned2 about their carbon3 footprint. However, people hardly think about their nitrogenu footprint—a measure of how much a person or corporation4 contributes5 to nitrogen pollution. Similar to carbon pollution in how it’s made and how it affects the world, nitrogen pollution is a relatively6 new and ongoing problem. Of course, nitrogen isn’t fundamentally7 bad. Nitrogen is the fourth most abundant8 element in the human body and is important in the function of muscle and tissue. It’s used to preserve packaged foods by preventing oxidation u. It has medical 9 uses, such as in anesthetics u and antibioticsu. In addition, nitrogen finds widespread10 application in the chemical and electronics industries, as well as in refrigeration equipment11 and steel manufacturing. Almost 80 percent of the air we breathe is composed of nitrogen as N2. Since the industrial revolution, however, humans have been burning fossil12 fuels13, which has released reactive nitrogen into the atmosphere. Furthermore, reactive nitrogen is being poured into the ground as fertilizer 14. In contrast 15 to N 2, reactive nitrogen negatively impacts environmental and human health and is partly16 blamed17 for air and water pollution, acid18 rain, and the destruction of ecosystems like the Great Barrier19 Reef. What can be done about it? Scientists suggest imposing20 a nitrogen tax 21, which would encourage factories to use greener methods of production 22. Also, products could be labeled with their nitrogen footprint as a reminder23 for people to make informed24 choices about their purchases25. As consumers26, we can reduce our nitrogen footprint by choosing foods produced on sustainable farms, reducing our food waste, and more.

Could the q use of fertilizers be harmful to humans? The need for abundant crops to feed an ever-growing human population has led to a rise in the use of chemical fertilizers. In their w to grow more food, farmers have turned to these methods to increase production of healthy crops. There is growing , however, that these crops are not as healthy as they appear. It is e believed that chemical fertilizers are r to blame for global warming, as using more chemicals than the plants can absorb leads to the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In addition, t professionals are worried that these chemicals can lead to cancer and other diseases. Finally, large-scale use of chemical fertilizers can actually do more harm than good, as it makes soil more over time. The fact that large u control most of our food y production means that it is relatively hard to prevent overuse of fertilizers. However, consumers do have the power to make i choices that will protect our crops, our planet, and our health in the long run.

The War against Food Waste Many of us get rid of food we can’t finish without much hesitation1. But when we discard2 food, we’re contributing to a serious global issue3: food waste. Roughly one-third of all food, 1.3 billion tons4 each year, is wasted. Restaurants, especially all-you-can-eat buffets, discard heaps5 of food daily. Supermarkets regularly exclude6 produce from shelves if it isn’t attractive enough. The consequences of wasting food are substantial7. Economically8, food waste results in financial losses. Socially, wasted food is food that could have been used to feed the poor. Environmentally, food loss represents a waste of the Earth’s resources. For example, the amount of land needed to grow all the world’s wasted food annually would be around the size of China. Moreover, wasted food produces a large amount of greenhouse9 gas emissions10. Unit
9 The War against Food Waste
Many countries intend11 to challenge food waste. French laws ban12 supermarkets from trashing13 unsold food. Instead, supermarkets give it away to charities. Germany has initiated 14 improvements to food packaging so that consumers can better inspect15 the product, since the sell-by date often doesn’t reflect16 the food’s actual state. In Taiwan, they’ve instituted17 a program18 that sends kitchen waste to feed livestock 19. There’s similar cooperation20 in Japan, where 35 percent of food waste goes to pig farms. Governments are leading the mission21 to reduce food waste, and you can help. To begin with, shop wisely—don’t be tempted22 to buy food in excess. Treat sell-by dates as guidelines23 rather than restrictions. Then, learn how to store food so it doesn’t go bad easily. Lastly, in restaurants, don’t leave leftoversu. Ask for a doggy bagu so you can gobble24 it down later.

The Empire of the Incas Around AD 1200, a tribal1 group of violent2, warlike people residing3 in Peru began invading4 and conquering5 neighboring clans6. They were remarkably successful. By the 16th century, these warriors7, called the Incas, ruled more than eleven million people, scattered8 over an area almost thirty times the size of Taiwan. The expansion 9 of this vast 10 empire 11 along the Pacific 12 coast consisted of one group—the Incas—ruling over many smaller ones. The Incas offered power and wealth to leaders that accepted their rule, while the powerful Inca army threatened13 to crush14 any that opposed15 them or refused to submit16. The social and religious practices of newly acquired followers were then absorbed into Inca customs. The Inca emperor ruled with an iron fistu, with all but a few people close to the emperor made to work. Inca subjectsu endured17 a lifestyle closely resembling18 slaveryu. But they helped the empire grow into the Western Hemisphere’su largest, wealthiest, and most powerful native nation.

11 The Railway in Taiwan
The Railway in Taiwan
Unit
The railway was the major means of transportation1 between cities in Taiwan, and its creation2, rise, and fall reflect the changing times. Construction of the first segments3 of railway in Taiwan started in the Qing dynasty4, and a basic network5 was functioning under Japanese colonial rule. The completion6 of the South-link line in 1993 enabled the possibility of full, round-island journeys7. This was a milestone8 in the history of transportation in Taiwan. In the early years, the railway not only allowed people to commute9 between cities, but also fulfilled 10 a role as an industrial lifeline, transporting commodities11 like sugar, coal, and timber12. Most industrial freight13 railways have been abandoned14 for transportation by motor15 vehicles16, but some of them still have regular departures17 and arrivals18 for tourists, such as the forest train on Mount Ali. Other lines, like the Pingxi and Neiwan lines, are blessed19 with lovely scenery20 and provide places for outingsu. More than just a structure21 of transportation networks, the railway is a monument22 to the industrial and cultural development of Taiwan.
閱讀理解 請在下列選項中，選出最適合的答案。 q Which of the following describes the train system during Japanese rule? (A) The trains went completely around Taiwan. (B) The first railways were being built. (C) Trains only ran between important locations. (D) The railway looked the same as it does now. w What could be understood from the article? (A) The railway was part of Taiwan’s development. (B) The railway slowed Taiwan’s development. (C) Taiwan developed without the railway. (D) There are no more industrial trains in Taiwan.

Japan’s National Flowers Flowers have had a great significance throughout the ages to people of all nationalities1. When deciding upon their national flower, most nations adopted flowers that are seen to possess2 historical or spiritual3 qualities. In Japan, the official flower of the imperial 4 family is the chrysanthemumu. Because the chrysanthemum blooms5 in autumn, the season when most flowers die, it is appreciated6 for its strength7. The Japanese imperial throne8 is often referred to9 as the Chrysanthemum Throne, and the flower’s image10 can be seen on Japanese currency11 today. However, many Japanese attach12 national pride to another flower— the cherry blossom 13, known in Japanese as the sakura. The cherry blossom, which blooms beautifully but briefly, has a reputation14 for reflecting the samurai spiritu: the value of life is not in its length, which is not eternal15, but in its weight of honor and glory16. In the hearts of the Japanese, no floral symbol is more esteemed17 than these two: chrysanthemums for their history and representation of authority, and cherry blossoms for conveying18 the delicate19 nature of life.
閱讀理解 請在下列選項中，選出最適合的答案。 q Why is the chrysanthemum the national flower of the imperial family? (A) It is a strong flower that blooms in the spring. (B) It was the first ruler’s favorite flower. (C) It blooms at a time when other flowers do not. (D) It was originally used as money in Japan. w Which topic could be added to paragraph two? (A) The official flower of South Korea (B) Details about kinds of chrysanthemums (C) How to make chrysanthemum tea (D) The location of Japan’s throne

Homestay Etiquette Staying with a family in a foreign country can leave you with priceless1 memories. Depending on how you conduct2 yourself on their property3, your hosts may find the feeling mutual4. A little bit of courtesy5 will reflect favorably6 on you. By practicing good etiquetteu, both you and your host family will be guaranteed7 an enjoyable8 experience. If you want to make a good first impression, you can’t go wrong by bearing gifts—especially something distinctive to your country. It’s a gesture that shows your generosity 9 and forms an immediate 10 connection11 between you and the family. When they show you where you can put your belongings12, you can ask if you need to negotiate13 certain things like the times to use the kitchen or bathroom. That way you’ll avoid any awkward14 situations during your stay. Once you understand the house rules, be sure to abide by15 them. Keep your bedroom tidy 16 . Offer to do the dishes, your own laundry17, or other household18 chores19. Tell your hosts when you’re going out. Some people might think it’s rude to use the telephone without asking, especially if you are making long-distance phone calls. Don’t fuss20 over small things, but if you do have a complaint21, let your hosts know before it becomes a bigger problem. They will appreciate having the chance to fix it while you’re there rather than afterward22. When it’s finally time to depart and return to your own dwelling23, leave a short thank-you note, and maybe send a postcard later on. By following these practical 24 rules, your hosts will be very grateful25—after all, you might be better behaved than their own kids!

To Tip, or Not to Tip? As anyone who’s visited the United States will tell you, tipping in America can be a real headache. In most countries, the rules for tipping in a restaurant are pretty straightforward1. If a service charge is expected, it is automatically2 included on your bill. In the US, however, it’s up to the customer to judge how much the server3 deserves. 4
14 To Tip, or Not to Tip?
While the precise origin of tipping is uncertain, it is commonly believed to have begun in seventeenth-century England. Overnight5 guests to private homes would give money to the host’s servants. Later, people began tipping at coffeehouses and other establishments6. In the 19th century, rich American tourists brought the custom back home. Gradually7, the custom became fixed in American culture. Tipping has died out in England, but leaving no tip in the US should occur only when the service is truly rotten.
Unit
A major reason for this tipping culture is that tipped employees earn less than minimum wage8. Employers only pay three dollars per hour in some states, meaning tips aren’t a bonus9—they’re a necessity10 for earning a sufficient11 income. Many people protest12 that paying serving staff13 a fair wage should be the employer’s responsibility14, not the customer’s. Danny Meyer is a New York restaurateuru and the architect15 of a policy he calls “hospitalityu included.” Ten of his restaurants have switched16 to a strict no-tipping policy. Customers can’t expect to be stingy17, though. The menu prices are raised to make up for waiters’ wages being bumped18 up; hence19 the final bill will be about the same. It remains to be seen what results Meyer’s voluntary20 management21 decision will yield22. America’s obsession23 with tipping could potentially24 become a thing of the past!

(A) Giving tips on ships (B) Giving tips in cafés (C) Giving tips to servants (D) Giving tips to hosts w What is true of Danny Meyer’s policy “hospitality included”? (A) Customers pay servers’ wages directly. (B) Customers decide if the servers deserve a tip or not. (C) Customers will end up spending about the same amount. (D) Customers will be able to afford more food than before.

A campaign for male and female actors to earn the same q for movies is gaining many followers. It seems that the Hollywood w has for many years been stingier with female actors. Over the past year, many wage differences have been publicized and actresses have started to r about it. The e amounts that female actresses are being underpaid by are not always clear. Nonetheless, what is apparent is that male actors seem to automatically get paid more to star in movies. In addition, they often earn higher bonuses for promoting movies and helping to sell products with the movie’s logo on them. Salaries for actresses are unlikely to be t overnight. However, many hope that the movie industry will gradually change its payment policies. The industry as a whole should take y for equal wages. It is hoped that this will be a voluntary move if there are u calls for change. Swift action on this issue could i make the movie industry a leader in equal pay and equal rights for women.

The Importance of Moderation You may have heard the following advice1 from a physician2: exercise, drink lots of water, take vitamins, and eat a healthy diet3. But did you know that many of the things that are supposed4 to be vital to your health can also badly5 harm6 your body? People who exercise a lot and drink water at every opportunity are at risk of serious problems. Too much water can lead to a shortage7 of essential salts in the body, causing the brain to swell8 and fluidu to leak9 into the lungs10, which would eventually be fatal11. Too many vitamins can also cause health problems. Too much vitamin A is associated12 with poor bone growth and liver damage. For some, too much vitamin C can lead to kidney stones. Vitamin D can leave calcium deposits13 in your tissue. Even fiber14 can be bad at high levels, causing your body to stop absorbing minerals15. If you are consuming too much of any of these things, you should lighten16 up on your diet. The message is clear: don’t overdo17 it!
閱讀理解 請在下列選項中，選出最適合的答案。

q
What could happen if a person drinks too much water? (A) Salt levels in the brain increase. (B) Water goes directly into the lungs. (C) Material leaks into the brain. (D) The brain becomes swollen.

Your body will become less stiff15 and more flexible16. The breathing exercises will sharpen 17 your mind and make it easier to concentrate. You’ll stand straighter and become less easily fatigued18. This will make you more comfortable with your body and give a boostu to your ego19. All things considered, you won’t be disappointed20 with the healthful21 effects of yoga.

Therapy Dogs The elderly1 folks2 in the nursing home have little to do but sit, read, and watch TV on a typical3 day. Many are lonely and most have health limitations4. But today, the residents are in for5 a special treat, for two dogs are coming to visit. The effect is noticeable 6 as soon as the dogs come in the door. There’s an immediate wave of smiles throughout the facility7, from the patients in wheelchairs8, to visiting relatives9, to senior10 staff members. The interaction11 magically12 transforms13 the atmosphere into one of relaxation14 and playfulness, almost like a playground. Dogs like these are in attendance15 at nursing homes, orphanages16, and other facilities. Their purpose is to improve the mental well-being of residents, and they can often be more helpful than doctors or medicine. Studies have proven that petting and touching the dogs can relieve17 stress, lower blood pressure18, and ease depression and anxiety19. Perhaps it’s true when they say, “laughter is the best medicine.”
閱讀理解 請在下列選項中，選出最適合的答案。 q What is the dogs’ purpose at the nursing home? (A) To teach the residents a new skill (B) To help the residents in their daily life (C) To play with residents and make them happy (D) To help residents improve their memory w Based on the article, what must residents do to receive benefits from the dogs? (A) Touch the dog (B) Look at the dog (C) Walk by the dog (D) Eat next to the dog

Is MSG Actually Bad for You? Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a substance1 that is most wellknown in North America for its use in Chinese food. It is used to heighten2 the savory flavor of food. Some North Americans claim that MSG induces3 an allergic4 reaction5, prompting many Chinese restaurants to notify6 customers with signage reading “No MSG.” But is MSG really bad for you? MSG is a combination of glutamate—a naturally occurring amino acid —and sodium, which is found in table salt. MSG has been regarded as unhealthy for years due to7 many vague8 reports of people reacting to it by getting ill. However, scientific9 research of MSG over the years has found no solid10 evidence to support these stories. u
One study did document11 that a small number of people responded12 badly to huge quantities of MSG consumed on an empty stomach, but seldom13 would that occur outside of a laboratory. A series14 of tests was conducted on people who made a declaration15 of being sensitive to MSG. The examiners16 found that almost all of their claims were hollow17 and were due to simply believing their food contained MSG. Participants18 told beforehand19 that they would be given MSG reported feeling unwell, consciously 20 unaware they were not actually given any. Feelings of sickness after eating are more likely due to high sodium levels, greasy21 foods, or overeating. Researchers seem to indicate that there’s no reason to be extra cautious 22 with MSG, and the United States Food and Drug Administrationu (FDA) classifies23 it as safe. Of course, whether or not you choose to indulge24 is still your callu.

閱讀理解 請在下列選項中，選出最適合的答案。 q Why is MSG put into food? (A) To charge more money for the food (B) To make food less greasy (C) To make people eat less (D) To make food taste better w Why couldn’t researchers prove that MSG causes illness? (A) The researchers couldn’t get enough participants in their study. (B) Several participants in the study never had Chinese food before. (C) The researchers found the sodium levels too high for their study. (D) Several participants in the study got sick without consuming MSG.

A Red Light for Coffee Everyone knows a red traffic light means you should stop moving forward, but are they ready for a red dot to tell them to stop consuming caffeineu for the day? Following an idea proposed by the Consumer Protection1 Commission2, many coffee shops around the country are now displaying the amount of caffeine in the drinks they offer. The system employs3 the same color signs used by traffic signals—green means that the amount of caffeine is lower than 100 milligrams, yellow between 100 to 200 milligrams, and red over 200. Some people drink coffee to stay awake 4, others are fond 5 of its fragrance 6. But for some, caffeinated u beverages induce insomnia 7, anxiety, restlessness, or an irregular heartbeat. If you are the victim8 of any of these miseries9, or if you are just trying to keep your money in your savings10 account, try putting the brakes11 on coffee. However, abruptly12 ceasing 13 caffeine consumption has a tendency 14 to cause headache, fatigue, and bad temper. These withdrawal15 symptoms are moderate16 and recovery from them takes a few days. A safer way to change your habit is to keep tabs onu what you drink by scanning17 labels on drinks as well as pain relievers. You can also make the withdrawal symptoms more tolerable18 by cutting back gradually. Some find it useful to substitute19 herbal tea or decafu coffee. Experts warn20 that a person’s daily intake of caffeine should be restricted to 300 milligrams—and even less for adolescents21. With the new visual22 system in place, customers will have no trouble monitoring23 their caffeine when grabbing24 a cup of joeu. Although it is not required by law to follow the commission’s proposal25, officials say that most coffee shops have committed26 to following the suggestion.

Psychologists are warning of a growing problem in today’s society: q . Not getting enough sleep is a particularly worrying trend amongst w . Increasingly, teenagers are staying e at night because they want to continuously monitor their electronic devices. Every little noise from a phone or computer makes them want to get up and r their device for new messages or social media posts. Teachers report that this t is leading to tiredness at school and problems with concentration. Adolescents need to know when to put the y on their electronics, and night time is one of those times. Ceasing the use of phones at night might be hard at first, but they will soon see the benefits of getting more sleep. Not only will their school work improve, but their overall health will be better too. Parents can help to protect their children by not allowing them to become u of this modern-day problem. Experts warn that unless teenagers commit to i phones with sleep, the problem will only get worse and lead to more misery in the future.

It was erected10 for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago and meant to rival11 the Eiffel Tower, which had been built for the 1889 Paris expositionu.

On the night it was unveiled, the Ferris wheel met with a warm reception16. Ladies wore ball gowns17, and gentlemen smoked cigars18. Since then, the fascination with the Ferris wheel has lessened19, but nonetheless20 the romance remains. It is a symbol of love from a time gone by.

Toy Collectors When you see adults in a toy store, they are not always buying stuff1 for their children. Some are shopping for themselves. They are toy collectors and are often just as enthusiastic2 when buying new toys as the kids around them. Toy collectors keep stocks3 of rare toys, antiques4, or toys that make them recall 5 their childhoods 6. They join clubs, read toy-collecting magazines, and put pictures of special toys on Internet sites7. If their value is especially great, their owners may take out an insurance8 policy on them. For some, toy collecting is a profitable 9 investment 10. They do research online and attend toy conventions11 around the world. It helps them learn to calculate12 which goods13 have a high profit margin14. In addition, they will often go to garage sales. Many families have boxes of old toys—toys they think are junk15, but may in fact be prized possessions16 that command17 thousands of dollars. These toys often get dumped18 or sold at garage sales, giving a smart collector the opportunity to seize19 some great bargains20.

E-book Library BiblioTech, opened in Texas in 2013, is a 100 percent digital1 public library. Apart from2 some private university3 libraries, BiblioTech is the first library to contain no physical books. This promising4 format5 has dramatically6 changed the way we borrow books. Its success has led to multiple7 branches in the San Antonio area and one satellite8 branch. BiblioTech members are able to check out an e-reader for two weeks. This grants9 everyone the privilege 10 of engaging11 in reading on an e-reader even if one isn’t affordable12. The e-reader can be loaded up with literature13 or educational14 materials. Although the facility that houses BiblioTech was old, designers made it appealing15 by making it resemble an Apple Store. This included having a large number of iMacs, tablets16, and other gadgetsu available for the public’s use. The library opened with about ten thousand titles in circulation17 and has received a steady18 100,000 visitors annually19. Evidently20 bookless libraries are a hit, and BiblioTech may be the most influential21 library of modern times.

Fingerboarding: Skating at Your Fingertips Have you ever wanted to skateboard but were too afraid of falling off and injuring1 yourself? With a fingerboard, you can ollieu, kickflipu, and grind2 to your heart’s content without ending up bruised3 and bloodied! People of all ages can do it, and because it’s safe, there’s no need to buy expensive protective gear, such as helmets4 or knee pads5. A fingerboard is simply a tiny skateboard that you ride with your fingers. They seemed to appear out of nowhere as key chain accessoriesu in the 1980s. They then became a pop culture phenomenon 6 after professional skateboarders were seen playing around with them in skate7 videos. Shortly8 after, fans were attempting9 their own fingerboard tricks at home and showing off their technique10 on sites like YouTube. Today, many fingerboard specialists11 have gained recognition12 on the Internet, and hundreds of people flock to annual fingerboarding conventions and competitive gatherings in places all over the world. Fingerboarding can be done almost anywhere. Weighing only a few ounces13, just tuck14 your portable15 board into your pocket and take it out whenever the urge strikes. Or, when you need a quick break from your work, shuttle16 it back and forth across your desk and make jumps over your stationeryu. Many distributors offer complete sets of fingerboards including all the tiny parts you need to get started. Some companies let you create distinct characteristics17 for your fingerboard: choose vivid18 colors, change the wheels, or add glitter19! After you get yours, all you need to rely20 on is your creativity21 to take part in this fun hobby. Go ahead and give it a try—don’t let the fun slip through your fingers.

Bored? Play a Tabletop Game A family is gathered together indoors1 after dinner, but they aren’t communicating. The parents watch TV, while the kids surf2 the Internet. Do these circumstances3 sound familiar? Fortunately4, there’s a simple way to break down this communication barrier: play a tabletop game. 5
24 Bored? Play a Tabletop Game
Tabletop games enable people to interact with one another through laughter and sharing. By virtue of6 playing them, we are forced to pay attention to others’ words and actions, which is the basis of communication. We also get to spend quality time together. Besides strengthening relationships, areas of our brains responsible for memory formation7 can benefit from these games. A stronger brain has a lower risk of disease. Consequently 8, another primary 9 benefit of playing tabletop games is a reduced chance of cognitive10 difficulties, such as those related11 to Alzheimer’s.
Unit
There are hundreds of tabletop games, but a few are particularly good for developing our imagination12 and communication. Dixit Odyssey comes with a set of cards that have colorful, fantastic images. In this game, the “storyteller” gives an oral13 clue regarding14 a selected card, and the other players must guess which card the storyteller used. If drawing is your preferred mode15 of communication, there’s Pictomania. Players furiously16 draw and guess what their opponents17 are drawing. Other exciting games test your wits through role play. In a game with a Wild West theme18 called Bang!, players take on various identities, and the winner is determined by which characters manage19 to stay alive. These and other tabletop games take entertainment to a whole new level. They not only have a high fun factor20 and let us feel connected21 to each other, but you might also start thinking like a genius22.

24 Bored? Play a Tabletop Game
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that kids love playing video games. The amount of time teens in particular are devoting to this activity is a worry for some. Parents are worried that their kids are spending too much time q and are not spending time with friends. Consequently, video games have received a lot of negative attention. Fortunately, studies have found that playing video games is not all bad, and there are actually many positive factors for teenagers. The goal of many video games is to use skill to beat an opponent. When w playing in multi-player e , teens can be seen furiously pressing buttons on their controllers. This behavior may seem extreme, but it actually enables teenagers to develop essential r skills. Many popular video games also require a great deal of t , as players build their own unique worlds and characters. Many parents don’t like the violent y in some video games and feel like their children’s oral and social skills are suffering. However, most kids would say that these games are social and allow them to stay u with friends even if they live miles away. Instead of stopping kids from playing video games, parents should the time spent gaming. As long as there is a balance between gaming i and other activities, there is probably no harm in it.

Idioms from Greek Mythology There are many expressions in English that can be traced1 back to Greek mythologyu. By looking into the stories behind these idioms2, we can better understand their meanings. According to legend, Achilles was Greece’s greatest warrior. However, he was eventually killed in the Trojan War by an arrow shot through his heel3. Nowadays4 we call someone’s weak spot their “Achilles’ heel.” The war ended when the Trojans found an enormous5 wooden horse at the outer6 city border7. Deceived8 into believing it a peace offering, they naively9 rolled it inside. That night, Trojan soldiers were awakened and killed by Greeks who had been hiding within. This is the origin of the idiom “beware10 of Greeks bearing gifts.” Moreover11, a “Trojan horse” describes a seemingly harmless program that actually compromises12 computer data, or generally anything that brings about defeat13 through deception. Greek mythology is full of tragic14 stories. To find more that impacted the English language, look up the myths15 “Pandora’s box” to see how curiosity16 brought evil17 into the world and the “Midas touch” to see how helping a god’s companion18 led to the power to make anything golden.

The Benefits of Speaking a Second Language To many people, the point of learning a second language may not be very obvious1. Recently, several studies have shown that learning a second language provides benefits that extend beyond being able to speak with different groups of people—it may actually make you smarter! Bilingual2 people tend to perform better on mental tasks such as problem-solving, planning, and recalling details3. Those fluent4 in two languages have also proven to excel5 at focusing on strictly useful information. In regard to social advantages, bilingualism improves a person’s ability to perceive6 emotions. Surprisingly, the ability to speak a second language may even aid in the prevention of mental disorders7. It has been demonstrated that as a person matures8, bilingualism delays the effects of cognitive loss and can even increase the likelihood9 of recovering from a stroke10. It was once believed that bilingual children could suffer major disadvantages11, such as developing learning difficulties or even split12 personalities 13. Thankfully 14, these beliefs have been proven false. Nevertheless, it’s true that bilingual people are more likely to have weaker verbal15 skills in both of the languages they speak since the knowledge of one language causes interference16 with the other. Moreover, bilingual people may have more trouble recalling a specific word. Most would agree that the pros outweigh the cons. Across the world, schools are adding more and more second-language programs to their curriculum17. Sometimes certain academic18 subjects are even instructed19 in a second language to maximize20 student learning. Though the path to bilingualism may be challenging, don’t despair21! With all its amazing benefits, any time devoted to learning a second language is undoubtedly22 time well spent.

In our ever-changing world, many parents are turning to more unusual education choices for their children. Traditional schools are q by some to disadvantage learners in the modern age. All parents want their children to at school, but what this means exactly can vary greatly from family to w family. The curriculum in most traditional schools focuses on e learning, getting good grades, and achieving a place at college or a good job upon graduation. Some parents feel, however, that this does not allow for differences in r and does not allow children to mature at their own pace. The pressure on children, especially teenagers, in today’s society is t leading to increased levels of stress and despair. This is one of the reasons why some parents are seeking something new. The Montessori teaching method instructs children in open, mixed-age classrooms and y free choice in their learning. Waldorf schools place a lot of emphasis on freedom, social skills, and u communication. Foreign languages are taught from an early age, allowing children to become i early on. While there are obvious advantages to these methods, many worry that students at these schools are disadvantaged in the college application process. Thankfully, more colleges are recognizing the value of other forms of education, meaning that parents have more choices now than ever before.

Watching Your Words: The Issue of Political Correctness Language is constantly changing, and a term that is morally 1 acceptable2 at one time and place might have a different interpretation3 at another. The effort to prevent offence4 by avoiding coarse5 language is known as political6 correctness. Take the adjective handicapped7 for instance. This word has become offensive because it focuses on the negative aspect8 of a disease or accident and defines a person in a nasty9 lightu. It is more proper10 to use personfirst terminologyu by saying a person with a handicap. Unit
27 Watching Your Words: The Issue of Political Correctness
While there are some clear types of offensive language, such as racial11 and sexist insults12, others are less obvious. For instance, words that contain the suffixu -man, like policeman and chairman13, have now largely been replaced by genderless14 expressions such as police officer or chairperson. Similarly, in some news publications15, the feminine16 suffix -ess may also be avoided, so both men and women are now called actors. The problem is that there is no general agreement in some of these cases. Even seemingly obvious examples of politically incorrect words are not always clear-cut. Generations17 prior18, the word negro was used before being replaced by colored. This word gave way to the word black and more recently African-American. However, black is the preferred term for the majority19 of British people and has become commonplace20 again in the United States. In South Africa, the term colored is used to refer to people of mixed-race origin, though elsewhere 21 it screams22 racismu. Political correctness began as a movement to change the way language influences our ideas. Although critics feel it sometimes goes too far, its intentions23 are noble24. Language is a powerful weapon, and we should be cautious not to discriminate25.

Tips for Remembering What You’ve Learned When it’s time to prepare for an exam, many students study by rereading their textbooks in earnest 1. However, drilling 2 the same chapters3 over and over may not be the most economic4 occupation5 of time. You get most of the useful information from a text during your initial6 reading. The second time around, your mind tells you that you know the information already. This makes you pay less attention to what you’re reading. A good strategy is to create questions about the material and then try to answer them. If you’re learning about a war, ask yourself where and when it took place and how it started. This way, your strengths and weaknesses regarding the text will become evident. Even if you don’t get all the answers right, the procedure7 of asking and answering will make you less forgetful8 of your material. There are other good approaches to retaining9 information. Drawing pictures to represent information works especially well for the sciences. For example, instead of reading over geography texts again, you can illustrate10 the continents11 and label them. Creating images helps you clarify12 how things are related. Flash cards are an active learning tool for learning vocabulary words. When we’re using these, we should review both what we’re not familiar with yet and what we already know. However, cramming13 right before the deadline14 is not an adequate15 method. This style of study is sure to leave you with shortages in your knowledge foundation16. Instead, grant yourself enough time to have gaps17 between study sessionsu. Like any part of the body, the brain needs to be trained with diligence18. Choose the right methods of exercise so you don’t waste time and energy while studying.

Old Metals Become New Medals Every two years, countries send out their best delegation1 of athletes2 to strive3 for thousands of gold, silver, and bronze4 medals in dozens of categories5 at the Olympic Games. For the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, the city’s Olympic organizing committee6 is using an unconventional7 source to harvest8 the metal needed to make these medals: mobile phones9. By the summer of 2020, Tokyo will need to manufacture 10 five thousand medals for its Olympic and Paralympicu Games. To meet this goal, Japan is encouraging its citizens to chip11 in by sacrificing12 their old phones. Mobile phones have small amounts of valuable metals in them which can be loosened13 through a chemical process. The committee says it is a recipe14 for reaching 100 percent recycled15 content for the Games. It predicts16 that in excess of eight tons of metal will be collected. While this campaign will provide relief17 to the environment and reduce the cost of financing18 the Games, these aren’t its only benefits. Japan is showing that giving out a medal can be just as much a triumph19 as receiving one.

Olympics Out of the Ordinary Baseball was withdrawn 1 in 2012. Golf gained admission 2 in 2016. Historically 3, the Olympics have shown a willingness to make adjustments4, which has allowed it to keep up with sports trends. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics will see the inclusion of surfing and climbing. Looking back, some events seem so outdated to us now that it’s hard to believe they were ever included at all! Take the 1900 Olympics in Paris for example. Besides “normal5” sports such as athletics and swimming, hot-air ballooning, kite-flying, and cannon6-shooting were also featured! That year also saw the first appearance of tug-of-waru as an Olympic sport. While tug-of-war is certainly a popular activity on school playgrounds, few now think of it as an Olympic-worthy7 sport. It remained a hotly contested8 event at the Olympics until 1920.
Unit
30 Olympics Out of the Ordinary
For a large part of the 20th century, the Olympics weren’t just about sports. When revived9 in 1896, the goal was to capture the original spirit of the ancient games. The ancient Olympics were also gathering places for artists and scholars10, and consisted of both artistic11 and physical competitions. From 1912 to 1948, Olympians could earn distinctions12 for excellence13 as poets, sculptors14, or even architects! The reason these events were eventually canceled was because the Olympics were supposed to be a competition for amateurs. The sportsmen15 who competed16 held downu other jobs between competitions, while many of the artists were artists full-time. We really shouldn’t laugh too loudly at these strange events of the past. Who knows—in a hundred years’ time, when long-distance hover17 boarding around moon craters18 has been added to the Olympic program, perhaps people will look back on established19 events like the 100-meter sprint20 and roll their eyesu.

Working Out the Truth about Exercise Myths
Unit
In today’s health-conscious1 society, many people have resolved2 to exercise regularly. But be careful: there are many fundamental misunderstandings about exercise that should be dismissed3. First, forget “no pain, no gain.” Even a small amount of exercise is good, and on the contrary4 it doesn’t need to hurt. Some muscle5 soreness6 is OK, but anything worse is an indication7 that you’ve overdone it. The tiny tears in your muscles caused by normal exercise require rest to heal8 and strengthen. Therefore, rest is just as important as physical activity. Exercise is about overall health, not just weight loss. So don’t jump on the scale9 every time you go to the gym10! With exercise, you’ll become more alert11 and you’ll reduce your risk for heart disease, diabetesu, and cancer. Always warm up before you start, but don’t confuse12 stretching with warming up. Stretching actually tightens13 the targeted muscles and can hurt performance. Also, if you’re a woman, don’t worry about bulking up 14. For the average woman, weight training develops muscle tone instead of building mass. Are you drinking protein shakes? Those are useful for advanced bodybuilders, but otherwise15 they just serve as an extra meal. Just eat naturally protein-rich food in your regular diet. But don’t reach for a sports drink. Those contain a lot of sugar and add unnecessary calories16. If you overeat, drink alcohol17 in excess, or regularly smoke cigarettes, don’t think that exercise will prevent future misery. Exercising every day won’t make up for bad lifestyle choices. A healthier you doesn’t have to be a fantasy18; it can be your reality. Don’t let false beliefs be obstacles19 to a good exercise routine, and you’ll be on your way to lifelong20 strength and fitness.

Ingestible Origami Robot Doctors frequently see cases of people accidentally swallowing foreign objects. In the United States, button batteries1 alone are swallowed by around 3,500 human beings every year. Though most small objects pass through and exit2 the digestive system, objects like batteries can cause permanent3 damage if left inside the stomach for too long. Researchers from multiple universities have invented an ingestibleu origamiu robot that can help. The robot consists of a small magnet 4 inserted5 into a sheet of dried pig intestinesu, which is folded like origami to make the robot as small as possible. For easy swallowing, the robot is put into an ice capsuleu. Once the capsule melts, the robot can receive course guidance6 in the stomach via7 magnetic fields external8 to the body. Besides fetching9 foreign objects, the robot has prospects10 of being an efficient 11 medicine-delivery 12 agent 13 inside a patient’s body or mending14 internal15 wounds without surgery16. There are also plans to add sensors17 to the robot so that it can control itself independently. With such potential18, these ingestible robots might be tiny miracles19 in the future of medicine.

The very existence2 of many bee species is at risk. Experts suggest global warming upsetting the normal blossoming cycle3 of flowers, pesticideu use, and bee habitatu loss are contributing to this negative phenomenon. Many scientists are trying to find ways to protect bees, but others have come up with an imaginative4 plan: mechanical5 bees. These beelike robots are equipped6 with a wrapping7 of horse hair and a specially designed gel to pollinateu crops. This combination secures8 pollenuenough to transport9 it from plant to plant, yet is loose10 enough for portions11 to spill12 onto new plants. These dependable13 pollen carriers14 could also be used to apply pesticides to plants very accurately15. This would protect bees by limiting their pesticide exposure.

Zipline is a company that uses drones to w medical supplies and deliver them to hard-toreach villages. The same could be done in disaster areas following hurricanes or earthquakes.

Drones can also help police officers and firefighters in an emergency by showing them y of a building they couldn’t otherwise see. Another major application is using drones above our oceans. Oil companies may be the first to take advantage of drones to assist in planning deep-water drilling operations. They would also be critical in search-and-u missions.

34 Smartphone Snoopers
A lot of people have had experiences that have made them cry foul3 on their smartphones. They tell someone they’re having tax problems; before long their Facebook ads are mostly4 about tax advisors. They innocently5 mention6 to their friends that they need a vacation; travel company ads aggressively7 start popping8 up all over their browsers. Could there be any truth to these suspicions or are they merely9 a form of digital age paranoiau? All an app10 needs is permission to use your phone’s microphone11. Once the data is imported12, customized13 ads can be sent to you. Cybersecurity14 experts have shown that a program coded15 to do just that would not drain the phone’s battery or show unusual amounts of data being used. You would have no idea that it was even happening. Companies like Google give assurances16 that they are intolerant17 of this behavior and state clearly that any app that secretly collects data from a user will be deleted18 from their app stores. Some researchers say that these experiences may all boil down tou a psychological19 exaggeration20. This theory essentially21 states that we notice things more when they’ve recently entered our consciousness22. Perhaps those ads for tax advisors were always there, but you didn’t notice them until you started thinking about tax problems. Despite this, we still have every right to be a little paranoid. When using apps, don’t be indifferent23; take precautions24 and read the privacy 25 policies carefully to make sure that nobody is snoopingu on us.

Driverless Cars: Steering Us in a New Direction The race to create driverless vehicles has shifted into high gearu. Google has both modified1 existing car models to be self-driving and designed its own prototype: a comfortable two-seater with no steering2 wheel or pedals—just a power button on the dash3. Google’s prototype employs what is basically a computer designed for driving which uses lasers4, radar, and cameras to navigate5 its surroundings6. The company’s tests have all had a human operator7 in the car in case of emergencies8, but they’ve achieved an exceptional9 safety record. To be sure, self-driving cars have had critics voice objections10 and reservations, and there are big challenges to overcome. First off, these cars are controlled by computers, so computer crashes11 would mean car crashes. Cyberterrorists could interfere12 with onboard computers, which creates a whole new set of worries. New federal13 regulations relating to safety standards, legal responsibility, and operating credentialsu will also need to be approved14 for driverless cars. These issues need to be dealt with before people can confidently use self-driving cars. Still, the potential benefits are overwhelming 15. We may see the prevention16 of human errors caused by drowsiness17, reckless18 driving, distractedu driving, and drunk driving. Aside from19 that, people walking and biking wouldn’t have to anxiously20 cross streets, and people too young or too old to drive would be more mobile21. What’s more, selfdriving cars will be able to communicate with other cars and drive smarter to increase efficiency, helping people get to places faster and reducing pollution caused by cars idling22 in traffic. Cars that aren’t self-driving are soon to be considered primitive23 technology. Though there are significant challenges on the horizon24, this ambitious25 enterprise shows no signs of slowing down.

Car drivers, get ready for a shock. A new wearable called Steer is here, and it may be just as important as your seat belt. As we all know, seat belts save the lives of people who get into a car q . What makes Steer w is that it stops the driver from making a mistake. You won’t run into a(n) e at all. Steer deals with a common problem for car r : getting sleepy behind the wheel. Driving while t leads to car accidents—some say it’s just as bad as drunk driving. Tired driving happens without us realizing it. One moment we’re y the road safely, and the next we’re holding the wheel with our eyes closed for a few seconds too long. This is where Steer comes in. Steer wraps around your arm like a bracelet. It measures heart rate and sweat production on your skin. When it senses that you are losing some focus on the road, Steer sends a vibration. If it senses that you are losing a lot of focus, it sends an electrical shock. It’s there to protect you before anything can go wrong. Steer is an amazing invention that will assist in the u accidents. The only thing Steer can’t do is save you from other i
of many drivers.
(A) crash
(B) operators

My day begins something like this: my alarm goes off, I jump in the shower, I eat breakfast, gather my books, and begin my classes. It is much like a typical morning for an average high school teenager. What might not be so typical, however, is that I frequently get to sleep in longer than most of my peers because I do not have a strict start to my school day. It is also not unusual for me to be in my pajamas during class. On the flip side, I never get snow days. My desk is in my living room, my classmates are my siblings, and my teacher is often instructing from the TV screen. I am a homeschooler. My entire elementary and secondary school years have been spent at home. Most of my high school classes have been on DVD, and my principal, who has no special training or teaching qualifications, is my mother—always available for one-on-one interaction if I have questions or concerns. Homeschoolers are often said to be lazy, lucky, or just plain weird. In just the last decade or so, the view of homeschooling began to change. It is not such a unique way to be educated after all. Homeschoolers are not rare. They are not undereducated or socially awkward. More and more people are seeing this as a normal and perfectly acceptable alternative to public school. There are around 80,000 homeschoolers across Canada this year. Around 20,000 to 30,000 of those are in Ontario, and the number is growing each year. For years, homeschooling was a movement largely unaccepted and unrecognized by the majority of society, especially most post-secondary institutions. Because they lacked a recognized diploma, homeschoolers found it difficult to continue their education after completing high-school courses. Today, though, this is finally changing. 45. According to the passage, how is the writer different from other kids of the same age? (A) The writer wears pajamas to school every day. (B) The writer received an education at home. (C) The writer is socially awkward. (D) The writer watches television all day long. 46. Why might homeschoolers have difficulty being accepted to university? (A) They do not have a high school diploma. (B) They are undereducated. (C) They are lazy. (D) They have illegal diplomas. 47. In the passage, which word means “equals”? (A) Siblings (B) Classmates (C) Peers (D) Homeschoolers
258
48. What message is being inferred by the passage? (A) Homeschoolers are very rare in Canada. (B) Homeschooling is rare but growing in popularity. (C) Universities in Canada do not accept homeschoolers. (D) Homeschooling diplomas are not valid. 第 49-52 題為題組
You may have heard the saying “if you cannot take the heat, get out of the kitchen.” But what if the kitchen is your classroom and basically your second home?

The school, which is blocks away from several fast-food outlets, passes on techniques for respecting food and the craft of food preparation. Ryan Clark is one of its devotees.

Clark, who was born in the Yukon but raised in British Columbia, says cooking is just something he grew up with and he could not see himself doing anything else.

Hepatitis C is an infectious virus that attacks the liver. It is carried in the infected person’s blood. More than five million Americans carry the virus, but only one third are aware that they have it. The Hep C sufferer does not normally show any symptoms of illness until advanced liver damage occurs. Currently there is no vaccine to prevent against the infection of Hep C, but there are treatments available. The key is getting early diagnosis and care before serious liver complications develop. The most common methods of Hep C infection are the following: the sharing of needles; blood transfusion or organ donation before testing began in 1992; exposure to infected blood through sports; the sharing of personal care equipment, such as razors or toothbrushes; and unprotected sex. Hep C has also been contracted through inadequately sterilized injections and medical equipment, tattoos or piercings with used needles, or manicures and pedicures with equipment that has been (unknowingly) used on a carrier. The only way to protect yourself from contracting Hep C is to avoid exposure to the blood of other people who may be carrying the disease. As mentioned above, this includes the equipment that might have come in contact with Hep C-infected blood. If you are diagnosed with Hepatitis C, it is important to build up your body’s strength and resistance naturally, in addition to the treatment that will be provided by your doctor. Avoid alcohol or recreational drug use, eat well, exercise regularly, and get plenty of rest.
53. Which of the following people might risk becoming infected with Hepatitis C? (A) Someone who had a blood transfusion in 1998 (B) Someone who donated blood (C) Someone who used the same toothbrush for over six months (D) Someone who shared a needle with another drug user 54. How can you protect yourself against getting Hepatitis C? (A) Get yourself vaccinated against the disease. (B) Never agree to a blood transfusion or an organ transplant. (C) Avoid exposure to the blood of other people. (D) Get regular manicures and pedicures.

55. What measures were taken against the spread of Hep C in the early ’90s? (A) An extensive immunization program began. (B) Extensive testing began on blood used in medical procedures. (C) Doctors began treating people for the disease. (D) Doctors began sterilizing needles and medical equipment. 56. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
學 測 模 擬 試 題
