Nightmares may literally be wake up calls. Scientists researching sleep have come to the conclusion
that nightmares serve a function. They may exist to alert the person to something which is physically
wrong with them. They can also show that there is a problem with their life that needs to change.
Nightmares should be treated as clues from one's subconscious. A sleeper who has had a nightmare
should act like a detective and try to find out what the dream means. Instead of being afraid of
nightmares, treat them as puzzles that need to be solved, and they may end up helping to solve a health
issue or a life crisis. If you wake up with heart pounding and forehead damp with sweat after being
pursued by a pack of angry, greasy hamburgers, it could be a clue. It could mean you should give up fast
food, since your body clearly isn't enjoying it. In fact, your body is signaling that it wants you to run
away from fast food. Perhaps you have dreamed that you are doing hard labor in a harsh, desert
landscape. There is a crazed foreman cracking a whip at you. This could mean that it is time to change
your job and your boss. Traditionally it was said that eating cheese before bed would give you
nightmares. Scientists studying sleep would probably agree that there is a grain of truth in this. However,
their scientific interpretation would be that you may be allergic to milk products and should give them up.
Your mind is providing you with a play, with yourself as the central character, so that you cannot misread
the plot. (5/6)
C 11. What should nightmares be treated as?
(A) A wake up call to lose weight and get fit.
(B) A need for a better sleep pattern.
(C) The mind is trying to tell you something.
(D) An opportunity to get up and say a prayer.
B 12. What things can nightmares indicate?
(A) Touching stories.
(B) Health and life problems.
(C) Somebody's favorite activities.
(D) Popular movies.
A 13. Why may traditional advice about sleep be useful?
(A) It could be a non-scientific explanation of something scientifically true.
(B) Tradition has a longer history than science.
(C) People understand traditional sayings better than science.
(D) Cheese is a traditional food, so traditional advice is more appropriate.

Bollywood is probably a more popular film genre globally than Hollywood. In recent years with
movies like Three Idiots, Bollywood movies have taken the rest of the world by storm. From Eygpt to
Russia, everyone knows and loves Bollywood. The term Bollywood comes from a combination of the
place names, Bombay and Hollywood. _(9)_ That makes it the movie capital of the Hindi-language film
industry. Hong Kong is famous for its prolific film industry, but it is much smaller compared to India.
Eight hundred movies a year are produced in India, over twice the number of US movies made. _(10)_
The average Hollywood movie lasts 90 minutes. The average Bollywood movie is four hours. _(11)_ A
single movie may have a dozen song and dance numbers to spice up the plot. Movie choreography
features hundreds of dancers in lavish costumes on complex sets. Indian movie lovers liken their movies
to Masala. _(12)_ Indian movies don't just feature great tunes, moving lyrics, and joyful dancing. The
plots have complex formats. There are star-crossed lovers and love triangles. There are long-lost siblings
and rival brothers. There are heroes, bad guys, and mostly happy endings. The most unusual thing for
Western audiences is that all this unfolds with little physical contact. _(13)_ Indian movies are pure,
clean entertainment, suitable for the whole family. No wonder an unbelievable 14 million people go to
the movies every day in India. (5/8)
(A) Over the years, Bollywood movies have created a lot of Indian superstars.
(B) It's not just the number of movies produced that is incredible.
(C) This is the famous mix of Indian spices that has a little of everything and delivers a rich flavor.

(E) There are no scenes with kissing, and certainly no sex.
(F) Bombay, the old name for Mumbai, is the movie capital of India.

One of the most important lessons in life is that if at first you don't succeed, try again. In

The majority of nations are concerned with their gross national product (GNP). _(9)_ The GNP is
an economic indicator that shows how rich or poor the country is in material terms. The measurement is
taken as an indicator of that nation's health. Alone in the world, there is a single nation that has chosen its
own indicator of well-being. Bhutan is unique in measuring its nation's health in happiness. Until 1974 it
was actually closed to the outside world. _(10)_ It is a non-economic variable. The concept has four
pillars, which are good governance, cultural preservation, environmental conservation, and sustainable
socio-economic development. _(11)_ The first GNH survey taken in 2010 found that only 40.9 percent of
people rated as happy. Bhutan's people, like people anywhere, want more from life. For example, Bhutan
has seen a big increase in car imports. Many people are giving up on rural life and moving to the city. In
2004, Bhutan was the first nation to impose a ban on tobacco products. _(12)_ In 2012, the ban was
amended as the government took action to give their people freedom of choice. The government also
plans for the entire country's farms to become organic. _(13)_ Rural farmers' children may be more
willing to stay in the countryside rather than move to the city. As a whole, it seems happiness is based on
the freedom of choice. (5/15~16)
(A) It is the last of these which is difficult to adhere to.

children. An estimated 30 to 50 percent of US children consume these types of drinks regularly. One
of the problems is that many people are unaware that there is a difference between energy drinks and
sports drinks. Sports drinks contain sugar, but also nutrients and electrolytes that are lost during
heavy sweating. The aim of sports drinks is to replace these rapidly and prevent dehydration. Energy
drinks, on the other hand, are exactly what they are billed as. They give a burst of energy. They do
this by packing a sugar and caffeine punch, which is very similar to coffee. If adults are unable to
distinguish between these two types of drinks, how can kids? Guarana, ginseng, and taurine are often
listed as ingredients in energy drinks. These are supposed to give a natural boost to energy levels.
However, the amounts in the drink are so small, that the boost really comes from the sugar and
caffeine. Doctors warn that energy drinks with as much as 270 calories should not be given to
children. Kids with heart problems, diabetes, and attention deficit disorders should definitely not be
allowed to consume these products. Many children nowadays are given attention deficit disorder
medication. The article warns explicitly that children on such medication must avoid these beverages.
Some countries have already started monitoring the effects of energy drinks on health. Some serious
side effects have been noted. Liver and respiratory disorders, accelerated heart rates and seizures
have all been linked with use of energy drinks. Concerns were so great that Taiwan banned the
number one energy drink, Red Bull, for a few years, even though now it is back on the market.

II. 篇章結構。(40%)
When was the last time you saw a honey bee? _(9)_ The world over, honey bee colonies are
disappearing. Falling numbers of wild bees have been noted and the numbers of domestic bee colonies
have dropped even more. In the US in 2007, there was a dramatic rise in the number of domestic bee
colonies that were collapsing for no obvious reason. You may not think that this is disturbing for a few
reasons. _(10)_ However, the real casualty of disappearing bees will be the agricultural industry. Fruit
trees like apples, pears, and plums are all pollinated by bees. Cultivated fruit like strawberries and other
crops depend on bees. Bees live and work in colonies or hives. Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is when
worker bees just vanish. _(11)_ The collapse is puzzling to bee keepers for many reasons. The bees leave
food and the young ones behind, and there is no sign of workers bees' bodies. It is hard to find a specific
symptom which leads to CCD. _(12)_ Chemical pollution from insecticides has added stress to bee
populations. Colonies affected by CCD have suffered from a period of drought or food shortage before
the collapse. Bees carry mites, which needs the bee to survive. The parasite in turn, carries a virus. _(13)_
In a colony weakened by hunger, drought, or a polluted environment, however, it can be fatal. Scientists
are quickly trying to figure out what to do about the bees so they can be seen again. (5/20)
(A) However, it seems that a combination of factors may be involved.
(B) Without worker bees, the whole colony eventually dies.
(C) Effects resulting from bee bites are dizziness and vomiting.
(D) Chances are you haven't seen one in quite a few years.
(E) Usually this is not fatal to the bees.
(F) Perhaps you don't eat honey, or maybe you don't even eat sugar.

The quality of life in Taiwan's capital city has been a high priority on the city government's
agenda in recent years. The proof of this has been seen on the city's streets, sidewalks and bike paths.
Yellow-orange bikes sponsored by the city government show that the administration has developed a
new environmental awareness. However, the success hasn't all been smooth riding. Based on the
Parisian model, the initial rollout of YouBike in Taipei was 500 bikes at 11 rental stations. Paris,
though, started with 10,000 bikes at 750 rental stations, giving comprehensive coverage to the city.
Taiwan's leading bike maker, Giant, runs YouBike and it is due to the company's persistence that the
brakes weren't put on after the initial failure.
The first three years of the bike rental project didn't do much to excite the citizens of Taiwan.
Then, during August 2012, Giant added 30 more rental stations, simplified the registration process,
and offered the first half hour free for cycling. As a result, the new service had more users in the first
few months of this than in the past three years as a whole. All you need to do now to rent a YouBike
is register a phone number and use an EasyCard to pay. Almost everyone has an EasyCard, which can
be used on buses, the MRT, parking garages, and at convenience stores, so it's a smart electronic
payment choice for YouBikes. Ultimately, the city government aims to have a bike rental station
every 300 meters and will create 10 new rental stations a month in 2013. This is a positive push
towards a cleaner environment and fun for tourists and other visitors to the city. (5/29-30)
C 11. Why might the project have the brakes put on it in the first three years?
(A) People rode too fast on sidewalks.
(B) Too many bikes were stolen.
(C) Not enough people used these bikes.
(D) These bikes were not safe enough.
A 12. What was the main difference between the French bike rental program and the Taiwan program?
(A) The size when the program started.
(B) Paris' weather is not like Taipei's.
(C) The French provided bikes with baskets for shopping.
(D) The Paris rental stations were all near department stores.
A 13. Why does riding a bicycle contribute to the quality of urban life?
(A) It doesn't produce carbon dioxide emissions.
(B) It gives a romantic, French feel to the city.
(C) The color of the bikes makes people happier.
(D) It is a more efficient way to get to work.
