No. Not at all. We flew to Australia to visit my brother and his family. They live in Sydney. You lucky thing. You know, it's summer down there in December. The weather was beautiful. But celebrating Christmas on the beach, that's quite unusual. Actually, having Christmas dinner on the beach is something of an Australian tradition. A lot of people do it. The beach we went to was packed. It was great fun. There was even a guy dressed as Santa Claus. And you know what? What? He went surfing. It was so funny. Question 25.

I don't want you to be late for school again. I'm almost ready. Just give me five minutes. You've eaten your breakfast, haven't you? No. But don't worry. I'll grab something to eat later. I do worry though. You can't study properly on an empty stomach. It's alright. I'm fine. I'm not even hungry. That's not the point. It's not healthy to keep skipping breakfast, you know. I do know, but I'd rather have an extra ten minutes in bed. Then you should go to bed ten minutes earlier at night. Let's go now. Don't forget the sandwich your mom made for you.

Question 28. Why does the man advise the woman to go to bed earlier? For questions twenty nine and thirty, you'll listen to a conversation. In your latest movie, you played the role of a painter. How do you choose your roles? I usually do a movie because there's one or two scenes I really want to do, scenes that are different and unpredictable. I think it's important to do movies that make people think. If you were not acting, what would you do? I would want to write movie scripts. But if I had to have a regular job to support myself, I couldn't imagine working anywhere else but on a movie set. What do you mean? I mean, I would like to work in props, costumes, or the art department, something like that. What about your real life hobbies? Well, I read a lot of books, and I write too. I also play the guitar. Thank you for being a guest on our show today.

中文翻譯

第 28 題。為什麼男子建議女子早點上床睡覺？第 29 題與第 30 題，您將聆聽一段對話。在妳最新的電影中，妳飾演一位畫家。妳是如何挑選角色的？我通常會接演一部電影，是因為有一兩個我真的很想演的場景，也就是那些與眾不同且出乎意料的場景。我認為拍攝能引人深思的電影非常重要。如果你不演戲，你會做什麼？我會想寫電影劇本。但如果我必須有一份正職工作來維持生計，我無法想像除了在電影片場之外，還能去哪裡工作。你的意思是？我的意思是，我想在道具、服裝或美術部門工作，之類的地方。那你現實生活中的興趣呢？嗯，我讀很多書，我也寫作。我還會彈吉他。感謝你今天擔任我們節目的來賓。

中文翻譯

第29題與第30題，請聽一段對話。 在妳最新的電影中，妳飾演一位畫家。妳是怎麼挑選角色的？ 我通常會接拍一部電影，是因為其中有一、兩個我真的很想演的場景，也就是那些與眾不同且難以預測的場景。我覺得拍一些能啟發人們思考的電影是很重要的。 如果不當演員，妳會做什麼？ 我想寫電影劇本。但如果我必須有一份正職工作來養活自己，我無法想像除了在電影片場以外，還能去哪裡工作。 妳的意思是？ 我的意思是，我想從事道具、服裝或美術部門之類的工作。 那妳現實生活中的興趣呢？ 嗯，我讀很多書，也寫作。我也彈吉他。 謝謝妳今天來擔任我們節目的嘉賓。 第29題：這位女士喜歡拍什麼樣的電影？ 第30題：除了演戲之外，這位女士想做什麼樣的正職工作？

Question 30. Besides acting, what regular job would the woman like to have? The sample question is based on the following report. Wonderland is perhaps the most popular vacation spot for families. It attracts tourists and provides jobs for the local residents in its hotels and shopping malls. But now it is called the tragic kingdom. The neighbors suffer from traffic jams that last for miles, and it takes hours to park the car. Empty cans, bottles, and garbage are everywhere. The whole place is becoming polluted. Most of all, prices of goods are skyrocketing. People pay more for living here. Questions thirty one and thirty two are based on the following talk. This is FM two hundred, your favorite music station in Taiwan. I'm your host, Miranda Zhou. Before we get to the music, I'd like to read a letter from Jason, a faithful listener in Tainan. Dear Miranda, I'm a 45 year old male. I'd like to know how to ask not to be addressed as sir in a restaurant setting. Because I travel often, I also eat alone. I know waiters and waitresses are being polite. But after the initial contact, I'm uncomfortable with the use of sir, which makes me feel older. How can I ask the waiters and waitresses not to call me sir? Now, listeners, if you have anything to say to Jason, our lines are open. Questions thirty three and thirty four are based on the following talk. As a child, I was lucky enough to have a yard to play in. It wasn't particularly large, perhaps 20 meters long and 10 meters wide. But to a little kid, it felt huge. Well, this yard contained flowers, a vegetable garden, and an apple tree. I played with my friends in the yard, and in the summer, we used to set up a small swimming pool to play in. It was great. However, my favorite thing about the yard was the apple tree, and that was because it was big enough to climb. As a kid, I loved climbing that apple tree to see how high I could get before running out of courage. Questions thirty five and thirty six are based on the following report. Text messaging has become the preferred method of communication for American teenagers with thirty three percent of teens sending more than 100 texts a day, a new survey says. The research illustrates the important role that text messaging plays in the lives of today's teenagers. Seventy five percent of teenagers have their own cell phones, up from forty five percent in 2004. They primarily use their phones to contact their parents, but they prefer text messaging when it comes to communicating with their peers. Teens make or receive about five calls a day, and fifty percent of them send a minimum of 60 text messages a day, the survey found. And despite the fact that most schools have banned cell phones in the classroom, 43% reported sending at least one text message from class a day. And teenage girls are doing most of the texting. For example, girls text their friends multiple times a day just to say hi. Questions thirty seven and thirty eight are based on the following talk. I work as a lawyer, and once a year or so ago, I was working on a difficult case. I had been working twelve hour days for months. I was exhausted, I was losing my ability to concentrate, and the quality of my work was slipping. One morning, I'd had enough. I closed my laptop, turned off my phone, and escaped in my car to a small town in the countryside. I walked around. I chatted to some local people and just allowed myself to relax. I returned to the city that evening, and everything was the same as before except me. I felt different. And the next morning, I turned up at my office and produced better work than I had done for months. My experience taught me that all work and no play not only makes one a dull person, but it also makes one a less effective worker. Questions thirty nine and forty are based on the following report. Airports across the globe are trying to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions to help solve global warming. After all, climate change affects everyone, and airports have a part to play in finding a solution. Helsinki Airport, for example, has cut its carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 2,500 tons by making its heating and lighting more energy efficient. It is also using more electric vehicles, and Boston's Logan Airport has been using wind power to generate electricity for its administration center. However, going green at an airport is not always easy. For instance, renewable energy technologies such as solar panels and turbines for wind power have to be located far away from air traffic control towers and runways. Additionally, the biggest challenge with solar power is the storage of energy during the day for use at night.

第 30 題：除了演戲之外，這位女士還想做什麼固定工作？ 範例問題是根據以下報導。 奇幻樂園（Wonderland）也許是最受家庭歡迎的度假勝地。它吸引了遊客，並在當地的飯店和購物中心為居民提供工作機會。但現在它被稱為「悲劇王國」。鄰居們深受長達數英里的交通堵塞之苦，而且停車要花上好幾個小時。空罐子、瓶子和垃圾到處都是。整個地方正變得受到污染。最糟糕的是，物價正飛速上漲。住在這裡的人們要付出更高的生活成本。 第 31 題與第 32 題是根據以下談話。 這裡是 FM 200，您在台灣最喜愛的音樂電台。我是主持人 Miranda Zhou。在欣賞音樂之前，我想讀一封來自台南忠實聽眾 Jason 的來信。親愛的 Miranda，我是一名 45 歲的男性。我想知道在餐廳裡，要如何要求別人不要稱呼我為「先生（sir）」。因為我經常旅行，所以也常獨自用餐。我知道服務生是出於禮貌。但在初次接觸之後，我對於被稱呼為「先生」感到不舒服，這讓我感覺自己變老了。我要怎麼要求服務生不要叫我「先生」呢？各位聽眾，如果您有任何話想對 Jason 說，我們的電話線路現在已經開通。 第 33 題與第 34 題是根據以下談話。 小時候，我很幸運能有一個可以玩耍的小院子。它並不是特別大，大概長 20 公尺、寬 10 公尺。但對一個小孩子來說，感覺卻很大。嗯，這個院子裡有花、一個菜園和一棵蘋果樹。我和朋友們在院子裡玩耍，夏天時，我們還會搭起一個小游泳池在裡面玩。那真的很棒。然而，我最喜歡這個院子的地方是那棵蘋果樹，因為它夠大，可以讓人爬上去。小時候，我喜歡爬那棵蘋果樹，看看自己在失去勇氣之前能爬到多高。 第 35 題與第 36 題是根據以下報導。 一項最新調查指出，簡訊已成為美國青少年首選的溝通方式，有 33% 的青少年每天發送超過 100 條簡訊。這項研究說明了簡訊在當今青少年生活中扮演的重要角色。75% 的青少年擁有自己的手機，高於 2004 年的 45%。他們主要用手機聯繫父母，但在與同儕溝通時，他們更傾向使用簡訊。調查發現，青少年每天大約撥打或接聽 5 通電話，其中 50% 的人每天至少發送 60 條簡訊。而且，儘管大多數學校都禁止在課堂上使用手機，仍有 43% 的人報告說每天至少在課堂上發送一條簡訊。其中，青春期少女發送了大部分的簡訊。例如，女生每天會給朋友發好幾次簡訊，僅僅是為了打個招呼。 第 37 題與第 38 題是根據以下談話。 我是一名律師，大約一年前，我正在處理一個棘手的案子。好幾個月來，我每天都要工作 12 個小時。我精疲力竭，注意力開始無法集中，工作品質也下滑了。一天早上，我終於受夠了。我闔上筆記型電腦，關掉手機，開著車逃到鄉下的一個小鎮。我四處走走，和當地人聊天，讓自己放鬆下來。那天傍晚我回到了城市，除了我以外，一切都和以前一樣。我覺得自己不一樣了。隔天早上，我出現在辦公室，做出了幾個月來最好的工作表現。我的經歷告訴我，「只工作不玩耍，聰明孩子也變傻」，而且這還會降低一個人的工作效率。 第 39 題與第 40 題是根據以下報導。 全球各地的機場正努力減少二氧化碳排放量，以協助解決全球暖化問題。畢竟，氣候變遷影響著每個人，而機場在尋找解決方案方面也扮演著一定的角色。例如，赫爾辛基機場藉由提高暖氣和照明的能源效率，已減少了近 2,500 噸的二氧化碳排放量。該機場也使用了更多電動車，而波士頓的洛根機場一直使用風力為其行政中心發電。然而，在機場實行環保並不總是那麼容易。例如，太陽能板和風力發電機等再生能源技術，必須設置在遠離塔台和跑道的地方。此外，太陽能面臨的最大挑戰，是如何將白天的能量儲存起來供夜間使用。

Questions thirty seven and thirty eight are based on the following talk. I work as a lawyer, and once a year or so ago, I was working on a difficult case. I had been working twelve hour days for months. I was exhausted, I was losing my ability to concentrate, and the quality of my work was slipping. One morning, I'd had enough. I closed my laptop, turned off my phone, and escaped in my car to a small town in the countryside. I walked around. I chatted to some local people and just allowed myself to relax. I returned to the city that evening, and everything was the same as before except me. I felt different. And the next morning, I turned up at my office and produced better work than I had done for months. My experience taught me that all work and no play not only makes one a dull person, but it also makes one a less effective worker.

第 37 題與第 38 題是根據以下的談話內容。我擔任律師，大約一年前，我正在處理一個棘手的案件。我好幾個月來每天都工作 12 個小時。我精疲力竭，無法集中注意力，而且我的工作品質也開始下滑。有天早上，我實在受夠了。我闔上筆電、關掉手機，開車逃到鄉下的一個小鎮。我到處走走，跟當地人聊天，讓自己好好放鬆。那天傍晚我回到城市，除了我以外，一切都和以前一樣。我感覺不一樣了。隔天早上，我回到辦公室，做出了好幾個月來品質最好的工作成果。我的經驗告訴我，只工作不玩樂不僅會讓人變得乏味，還會降低工作效率。

Questions thirty nine and forty are based on the following report. Airports across the globe are trying to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions to help solve global warming. After all, climate change affects everyone, and airports have a part to play in finding a solution. Helsinki Airport, for example, has cut its carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 2,500 tons by making its heating and lighting more energy efficient. It is also using more electric vehicles, and Boston's Logan Airport has been using wind power to generate electricity for its administration center. However, going green at an airport is not always easy. For instance, renewable energy technologies such as solar panels and turbines for wind power have to be located far away from air traffic control towers and runways. Additionally, the biggest challenge with solar power is the storage of energy during the day for use at night.

第39與40題是根據以下報導。全球各地的機場都在努力減少二氧化碳排放，以協助解決全球暖化的問題。畢竟，氣候變遷影響著每一個人，而機場在尋求解決方案中也扮演著重要的角色。例如，赫爾辛基機場藉由提高暖氣和照明的能源效率，減少了將近2,500噸的二氧化碳排放量。該機場也使用了更多電動車；而波士頓的洛根機場則一直利用風力發電來為其行政中心提供電力。然而，機場要實行環保並非總是那麼容易。例如，太陽能板和風力發電機等再生能源技術設備，必須設置在遠離塔台和跑道的地方。此外，太陽能面臨的最大挑戰在於如何將白天的電能儲存起來以供夜間使用。
