第 35–39 題題組文章

Do you bike today? Do YouBike rides kindle your passion to zip past one bicycle lane after another? Launched in 2009, YouBike’s rental system offers cyclists an easy way to rent and return bikes. Cyclists only need an EasyCard to rent a YouBike. What’s more, by using this system, bikes can be rented at one location and dropped off at another on a 24/7 basis. In Taipei City alone, there are as many as four hundred YouBike stations. This carbon-free vehicle rental system also extends to many other major cities. No wonder YouBike is acknowledged to have become part of the city landscape in Taiwan. Another important contributing factor in the growing popularity of this rental system has to do with its excellent cost-performance ratio. Each thirty minutes costs only ten NT dollars within the initial four hours. YouBike also serves as a best alternative to cars and buses during rush hours, when the traffic jam can leave you cranky. Perhaps one of its greatest contributions lies in the reduction of carbon emissions. In 2013, statistics showed that YouBike’s rental service contributed to a trip distance of about 11 million kilometers. On this basis, the overall carbon emission reduction in Taipei City was equivalent to 6.89 million metric tons of carbon emissions from motorcycles and 27 million metric tons from automobiles. The success of YouBike also has a lot to do with its creative concepts. It boasts a database management system that can analyze the utilization rate of bikes speedily, resulting in efficient allocation of bikes among rental stations and ensuring that cyclists can rent a bike within ten minutes. With the goals of green economy and sustainable development in mind, it is time to go even greener. Let’s all go YouBiking today!

第 40–42 題題組文章

The most famous mystery about Loch Ness surrounds the phenomenon of an enormous creature, known as the Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie. The first recorded sighting of the monster was in A.D. 565, when it was said to have eaten a local farmer. Over the years, rumors spread far and wide. In 1933, construction began on the A82—the road that runs along the north shore of the Loch. The work involved considerable drilling and blasting and people believed that the disruption forced the monster into the open. Around this time, there were numerous sightings and, in 1934, London surgeon R. K. Wilson took a photograph that appeared to show a slender head and neck rising above the water. Nessie hit the headlines and has remained the topic of fierce debate ever since. In the 1960s, the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau conducted a ten-year survey. By the end of the decade, mini- submarines were used for the first time to explore the Loch. New public interest was generated in the mid-1970s when underwater photographs of what appeared to be a “flipper” were made public. To this day, there is still no conclusive proof. Whatever the truth, it’s always worth a trip to Loch Ness to see for yourself.

第 43–46 題題組文章

On average Americans chew about 300 sticks of gum per person a year. Why is chewing gum so popular? Some people say that it not only helps you relax but also helps you stay awake. Others chew gum after a meal to have fresh breath. It can help fight tooth decay as well. But few people know that there is an even better reason for chewing gum—it can improve memory! In an experiment, the scientists divided 75 people into three groups. One third chewed real gum, one third chewed imaginary gum, and the last third didn’t chew anything. Then, each group was given a lot of different memory tests. The results were very interesting. The people with real gum did better than those with imaginary gum, and the latter did better than those who didn’t have any gum at all. How does chewing gum help memory? One possible reason is that when people chew, there is more activity in an area of the brain that is important for memory. Another possible reason is that when people chew, their heart beats faster so more oxygen goes to the brain. So, do you have an exam coming up? Start chewing now!
