It has long been assumed that creativity is some unusual trait enjoyed by the few. However,

according to a wide array of scientific and sociological research, creativity is a sign of rare

genius than a natural human potential. Thus, it can be nurtured and encouraged.

It is believed that taking breaks from a problem can help a moment of insight or stimulate

new ideas. Unconventional solutions can also be explored. That is why some of the most successful

companies in the world, such as 3M and Google, encourage their employees to all sorts of

relaxing activities, such as playing pinball and wandering about the campus. During such breaks, the

mind turns inward, it can subconsciously puzzle over subtle meanings and connections.

Another way to increase creativity is to take risks. This is because many breakthroughs come up

when people venture their usual routines or areas of expertise. This can be done by, for

example, learning new skills or traveling to new countries.

You must have had this kind of experience: While in the middle of a normal dream, you suddenly

realize that you are dreaming. This kind of dream is called a “lucid dream.” The term “lucid” means

clear; lucid dreamers know that they are dreaming and they are dreaming of. It is different

from daydreaming. When a person is having a lucid dream, the person’s body is ; when a

person daydreams, his / her body is awake. Thus, daydreams are really just waking thoughts. In lucid

dreams, however, we are completely immersed in the dream world.

Yet, lucid dreaming is just having a clear dream. It is your chance to play around with

the extraordinary abilities buried in unused parts of your brain. , it is a way for you to put the

deepest areas of your brain to good use while you’re sleeping. You can be an everyday Jane Doe or

John Smith while awake but a superhero while sleeping, who you are in real life. All the

obstacles of reality can be set aside and you are able to accomplish tasks that you could never manage in

waking reality.

Fortune cookies, commonly served after meals at Chinese restaurants in the U.S., are characterized

by a fortune, which is written on a small piece of paper tucked inside the cookie. There are several

Page 9: < C · 2018-04-25 · The term lucid means clear; lucid dreamers know t hat they are dreaming and they are dreaming of . It is different from daydreaming. When a person is having

8

stories about the origin of the fortune cookie. None of them, however, has been proven to be

entirely true.

One of these stories the cookie’s origin back to 13th

- and 14th

- century China, which was

then occupied by the Mongols. According to the legend, notes of plans for a revolution to

overthrow the Mongols were hidden in mooncakes that would ordinarily have been stuffed with sweet

bean paste. The revolution turned out to be and eventually led to the formation of the Ming

Dynasty. This story may sound highly credible, but there seems to be no solid evidence that it inspired

the creation of the we know of today as fortune cookies.

Another claims that David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in Los Angeles, created the

fortune cookie in 1918. Concerned about the poor people he saw wandering near his shop, he made

cookies and passed them out free on the streets. Each cookie a strip of paper inside with an

inspirational Bible quotation on it.

However, the more generally accepted story is that the fortune cookie first in either 1907

or 1914 in San Francisco, created by a Japanese immigrant, Makoto Hagiwara. The fortune cookie

was based on a Japanese snack, but Hagiwara sweetened the recipe to appeal to American .

He enclosed thank-you notes in the cookies and served them to his guests with tea. Within a few years,

Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe and the thank-you notes with

fortune notes. Such fortune cookies became common in Chinese restaurants in the U.S. after World

War II.

For more than two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the United States

Presidency, the U.S. government, and the American people. In 1790, President George Washington

declared that the federal government would reside in a district “not exceeding ten miles square … on the

river Potomac.” As preparations began, a competition was held to find a builder of the “President’s

House.” Nine proposals were submitted, and the Irish-born architect James Hoban won the gold medal

for his practical and handsome design. Construction began when the first cornerstone was laid in

October of 1792. Although President Washington oversaw the construction of the house, he never lived

in it. It was not until 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that its first residents,

President John Adams and his wife Abigail, moved in.

American presidents can express their individual style in how they decorate the house and in how

they receive the public. Thomas Jefferson held the first inaugural open house in 1805; many of those

who attended the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol simply followed him home. President

Jefferson also opened the house for public tours, and it has remained open, except during wartime, ever

Page 10: < C · 2018-04-25 · The term lucid means clear; lucid dreamers know t hat they are dreaming and they are dreaming of . It is different from daydreaming. When a person is having

since. In addition, Jefferson welcomed visitors to annual receptions on New Year’s Day and on the

Fourth of July. Abraham Lincoln did the same, but then the inaugural crowds became far too large for

the White House to accommodate comfortably, and this also created a security issue. It was not until

Grover Cleveland’s first presidency that some effective crowd control measures were implemented to

address the problem caused by this practice.

At various times in history, the White House has been known as the “President’s Palace,” the

“President’s House,” and the “Executive Mansion.” President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the

White House its current name in 1901.

______ What is this passage mainly about?

The design of the White House. The location of the White House.

The importance of the White House. The history of the White House. 87%

______ What does “this practice” refer to in the second paragraph?

Holding an inaugural open house. Accommodating the crowds comfortably.

Decorating the White House. Joining in the swearing-in ceremony. 48%

______ Who initiated the construction of the White House?

John Adams. James Hoban.

George Washington. Thomas Jefferson. 39%

______ According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the White House?

The White House has had several names.

The designer of the White House was an American president.

People were not allowed to visit the White House during wartime.

The White House is located in a district not larger than ten miles square. 69%

West Nile is a tropical disease that begins in birds, which pass it on to mosquitoes that then go on

to infect human beings with a bite. Most people who contract West Nile do not experience any

symptoms at all, but, if they do, symptoms typically develop between 3 to 14 days after a mosquito bite.

About 1 in 5 persons suffers fever, headaches, and body aches, usually lasting a week or so. A far less

lucky 1 in 150 experiences high fever, tremors, paralysis, and coma. Some-especially the elderly

and those with weak immune systems-die.

That is what made the major outbreaks of West Nile in the U.S. in the summer of 2012 so scary.

The situation was particularly bad in Dallas, Texas, where the West Nile virus killed 10 people and

sickened more than 200. The city declared a state of emergency and began aerial spraying of a pesticide

to kill the mosquitoes, even though residents argued that the pesticide could be more dangerous than the

disease.

Why was the summer of 2012 so hospitable to the West Nile virus and the mosquitoes that carry it?

Blame the weather. An extremely mild winter allowed more mosquitoes than usual to survive, while

the unusually high temperatures in that scorching summer further increased their number by speeding

up their life cycle. The economic crisis may have also played a role: Homeowners who were not able

to pay their bank loans were forced to abandon their properties, sometimes leaving behind swimming

pools that made excellent mosquito breeding grounds.

The severity of tropical diseases is also a matter of whether governments are capable-and

willing-to defend their populations against infections. Dallas County was not doing some of the

key things to slow the spread of West Nile, such as testing dead birds and setting mosquito traps to test

for the presence of the disease. Tropical infections are thus as much related to government inaction as

they are to climate.

______ What is this passage mainly about?

West Nile and methods to fight it.

West Nile and governmental efficiency.

West Nile and the conditions its virus thrives in.

West Nile and its relation to tropical diseases. 36%

______ Which of the following statements is true about West Nile?

Its symptoms usually appear within two weeks.

It is spread through air and water in tropical areas.

Over 20% of people who contract it will suffer severe symptoms.

It comes from direct human contact with birds infected with the virus. 63%

______ What did Dallas County do to fight off West Nile?

They sprayed pesticide from the air.

They asked citizens to stay away from dead birds.

They encouraged citizens to get vaccinations.

They drained the swimming pools in the county. 60%

______ Which of the following is a reason why Dallas was hit most seriously in the U.S. in 2012?

The increasing population in Texas raised the risk of contracting the disease.

The government did not issue a warning about the disease in time.

The residents worried about the county’s decision and action.

The weather of the previous winter was not as cold as usual. 59%

Most parts of Taiwan have access to sufficient supplies of fresh water for drinking. But fresh water

can be in short supply in many arid regions of the world such as Saudi Arabia, where there are limited

water resources. As the world population continues to grow, shortages of fresh water will occur more

often and the need for additional water supplies will become critical. Some may ask, “Since the ocean

covers more than 70 percent of the Earth, why not just get drinking water from the ocean?”

To turn seawater into fresh water, we need to remove the salt in seawater, that is, to desalinate

seawater. The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves very

easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. The energy and

technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be costly.

There are environmental costs of desalination as well. Sea life can get sucked into desalination

plants, killing small ocean creatures like baby fish and plankton, upsetting the food chain. Also, there

is the problem of what to do with the separated salt, which is left over as a very concentrated brine.

Pumping this super-salty water back into the ocean can harm local aquatic life. Reducing these impacts

is possible, but it adds to the costs.

Despite the economic and environmental hurdles, desalination is becoming increasingly attractive

as human beings are using up fresh water from other sources. At present, desalinating seawater is the

only viable way to provide water to growing populations in rural areas of the Middle East and North

Africa. Therefore, the race is on to find a cheaper, cleaner, and more energy-efficient way of

desalinating seawater, and promising new findings are being reported.

-題為題組

Four millennia ago, an ancient Babylonian wrote down what is possibly the first lullaby. It is a

rather threatening lullaby, in which the baby is scolded for disturbing the house god with its crying and

warned of terrifying consequences. It may have got the baby to sleep, but its message is far from

comforting: If he / she does not stop crying, the demon will eat him / her. This lullaby may sound more

scary than sleep-inducing, yet it is true that many lullabies-including those sung today-have

dark undertones.

Research has shown that lullabies, when used correctly, can soothe and possibly even help to heal

an infant; but it is the caretaker’s voice and the rhythm and melody of the music that babies respond to,

not the content of the song. Then, what is the function of the content? According to studies, some

lullabies provide advice, like the Babylonian lullaby, and quite a few others offer the space to sing the

unsung, say the unsayable. Lyrics to those lullabies can indeed be interpreted as a reflection of the

caregiver’s emotions.

Researchers believe that a large part of the function of lullabies is to help a mother vocalize her

worries and concerns. The mother’s fear of loss especially makes sense since the infant / toddler years

of life are fragile ones. Since there is a special physical bond between mother and child during this

period, mothers feel they can sing to their child about their own fears and anxieties. Lullabies,

therefore, serve as therapy for the mother. In addition, the songs are seemingly trying to work some

magic-as if, by singing, the mother is saying, “Sadness has already touched this house; no need to

come by again.”

______ Which of the following titles best describes the main idea of this passage?

The Origin of Lullabies The Functions of Lullabies

Threatening Lullabies Sleep-Inducing Lullabies 64%

______ Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “undertones” in the first paragraph?

Consequences. Vocals.

Whispers. Messages. 46%

______ What does the author use to support the idea that lullabies can have a soothing effect?

Research reports. Examples found in history.

Stories of caretakers. The author’s personal experiences. 71%

______ According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?

Scary lullabies better help babies fall asleep.

Mothers prefer to sing lullabies with a joyful melody.

Lullabies comfort not only the baby but also the mother.

Babies react to both the music and the lyrics of lullabies. 65%

bus to and from school. However, in recent years, forming

a long line seems to be a common phenomenon�before

the department store for some bargains, in front of a little

sweets house for seasonal desserts, and even in front of a

machine overnight for concert tickets! It seems that if you

never wait for something in line, you may be considered fall

behind the times. I have a terrible personal experience about

this popular movement. Last weekend, my mom proposed

to try a new restaurant because of the recommendation of

some so-called gourmet blogger. Believe it or not, we had

stood in line for two hours to have seats and had the dinner

finally�just no more than common.

� � Much to my surprise, the neighboring tables around

me kept taking pictures for the food with their smart phones

�it didn’t matter whether it was delicious or not. What

did matter was that they could post the delicious-looking

snaps on Facebook, Line, Twitter or Instagram. It is obvious

that the reason why people are willing to form a long line

under the scorching sun or in the chilly wind�partly to

satisfy their curiosity, partly to show off their own colorful

life. Under the stimulation of those social networking

websites, long lines will continue to appear here and there!
