M: Have you had a chance to look at the new collaborative platform the IT department recommended? W: Briefly, yes. Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. Our current system works perfectly fine, and we've just spent months getting everyone trained on it. M: I felt the same way initially. But the new one integrates our budget trackers and client feedback directly into the task boards. It saves us from jumping between three different apps. W: That does sound convenient, but what about the learning curve? The team is already working overtime to meet the quarterly deadlines. Introducing a new workflow now might cause unnecessary delays. M: That's a valid concern. What if we do a gradual rollout? We could test it with the design team first, and then transition the rest of the department next quarter. W: That sounds much more manageable. If the designers find it intuitive, it'll be easier to convince the rest of the team to get on board. M: Great. I'll draft a proposal for the department head detailing this phased implementation plan. W: Thanks. I'll review it before you send it over to ensure we've addressed all potential bottlenecks. [Q11] What is the woman's initial concern about the new platform?

中文翻譯

男：妳有機會看一下資訊部門推薦的新協作平台了嗎？ 女：稍微看了一下。說實話，我有點持保留態度。我們目前的系統運作得非常好，而且我們才剛花了好幾個月讓大家都接受了操作培訓。 男：我起初也是這麼想的。但這個新平台直接把我們的預算追蹤工具和客戶回饋整合到任務看板中，這樣就不用在三個不同的應用程式之間切換了。 女：聽起來確實很方便，但學習曲線該怎麼辦？團隊為了趕上季度截止日期已經在加班了，現在引入新的工作流程可能會造成不必要的延誤。 男：這確實是個合理的顧慮。如果我們逐步推出呢？我們可以先在設計團隊進行測試，然後下個季度再讓部門的其他同仁過渡到新平台。 女：這聽起來容易執行多了。如果設計師們覺得它很直觀好用，就更容易說服團隊其他人加入了。 男：太好了。我會起草一份給部門主管的提案，詳細說明這個分階段實施的計劃。 女：謝了。在你送過去之前我會先看過，以確保我們已經解決了所有潛在的瓶頸。

W: Excuse me, Professor Chen. Do you have a few minutes? I'm torn between taking 'Advanced Data Analysis' or 'Practical Market Research' next semester. M: Of course, Clara. It really depends on what you hope to achieve. 'Advanced Data Analysis' is highly theoretical and focuses heavily on statistical formulas and mathematical proofs. W: I see. I do want a strong foundation, but my primary goal after graduation is to work in the marketing department of a consumer goods company. M: In that case, 'Practical Market Research' might be more aligned with your career goals. In that course, students work in teams to design actual surveys, collect data from local businesses, and present their findings to real clients. W: That sounds incredibly hands-on. However, I noticed that the course description mentions a prerequisite of basic statistics, which I haven't taken yet. M: Ah, that could be an issue. But you can take a quick online bridging module offered by our department over the winter break to satisfy that requirement. W: Oh, that's a relief! I'll register for that module right away so I can enroll in the market research course. M: Excellent. It will be demanding, but the practical experience on your resume will definitely give you an edge in the job market. [Q13] Why does Clara prefer 'Practical Market Research' over 'Advanced Data Analysis'?

中文翻譯

女：陳教授，不好意思。您現在方便聊幾分鐘嗎？我正在糾結下學期要選「進階資料分析」還是「實務市場調查」。 男：當然可以，Clara。這完全取決於妳想達到什麼目標。「進階資料分析」非常偏重理論，著重在統計公式和數學證明。 女：我懂了。我確實希望能打下扎實的基礎，但我畢業後的主要目標是到消費品公司的行銷部門工作。 男：既然這樣的話，「實務市場調查」可能更符合妳的職涯目標。在那門課中，學生會分組設計真實的問卷、收集在地企業的數據，並向真實的客戶簡報他們的發現。 女：聽起來實作性非常強。不過，我注意到課程說明中提到需要先修「基礎統計學」，但我還沒修過。 男：啊，這確實是個問題。不過，妳可以利用寒假修讀我們學系提供的線上快速銜接課程，來滿足這個先修要求。 女：噢，那我就鬆了一口氣！我會馬上註冊那個課程，這樣我就可以選修市場調查課了。 男：太棒了。這門課會很吃力，但履歷上的實務經驗絕對能在就業市場上為妳帶來優勢。 [Q13] 為什麼 Clara 偏好「實務市場調查」而非「進階資料分析」？

M: Hello, I'm planning a trip to the highlands next month, and I'd like to book an eco-tour. I want to make sure the company we use actively supports conservation. W: We have a wonderful 'Green Highlands' package. Ten percent of the booking fee goes directly to local reforestation projects, and all our guides are certified local naturalists. M: That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. What does the itinerary look like? We're not looking for anything too strenuous. W: It's mostly moderate hiking through the nature reserve, bird watching, and a visit to an organic tea plantation. The pace is quite relaxed, with plenty of breaks. M: Perfect. My spouse has some minor knee issues, so we can't do steep climbs. Are the trails relatively flat? W: For the most part, yes. However, on the third day, there is an optional hike up to a scenic viewpoint that does involve some steps. Those who prefer can stay at the visitor center for a traditional weaving workshop instead. M: That's a fantastic alternative! My spouse would love the weaving workshop while I do the hike. How do we secure a spot? W: I can reserve your spots now. I'll just need a deposit of twenty percent, and the balance can be paid a week before the tour departs. [Q15] What is the man's main priority when choosing a tour package?

中文翻譯

男：你好，我計劃下個月去高地旅行，想預訂一個生態旅遊行程。我想確保我們選擇的旅行社有積極支持環境保護。 女：我們有一個很棒的「綠色高地」套裝行程。預訂費用的百分之十會直接用於當地的重新造林計劃，而且我們所有的導遊都是經過認證的當地生態導覽員。 男：這聽起來完全就是我想找的。行程安排大概是怎樣的？我們不想找太吃力的活動。 女：大部分是在自然保護區內進行難度適中的健行、賞鳥，並參觀有機茶園。步調非常輕鬆，中途會有充足的休息時間。 男：太完美了。我另一半的膝蓋有些小毛病，所以我們沒辦法爬太陡的坡。步道大致上算平坦嗎？ 女：大部分是的。不過在第三天，有一個自由參加的健行行程，是往上爬到一個景觀瞭望點，確實需要走一些階梯。不想爬的人可以留在遊客中心，改參加傳統編織工坊。 男：這真是個太棒的替代方案了！我另一半一會很喜歡編織工坊，我則可以去健行。我們要怎麼保留名額？ 女：我現在就可以幫您保留名額。我只需要收取百分之二十的訂金，餘款在出團前一週付清即可。

W: Excuse me, I'm looking at these smart refrigerators. Aside from the touch screen, what really justifies the higher price tag compared to standard models? M: Great question. The key advantage is food waste reduction. These models have internal cameras that scan your groceries. You can check what's inside from your smartphone while you're at the supermarket. W: That would certainly prevent me from buying duplicate items. Does it also track expiration dates? M: Yes, indeed. You can input the purchase dates, and the fridge will send notifications to your phone when items are about to expire. It even suggests recipes based on what needs to be used up. W: That's impressive, but I'm concerned about energy consumption. With all these smart features and screens, doesn't it use a lot more electricity? M: Actually, it's quite the opposite. It has an advanced inverter compressor and smart sensors that optimize cooling cycles based on how often the door is opened. It's actually rated twenty percent more energy-efficient than our basic models. W: That's reassuring. What about the warranty? With so much technology, I'm worried about expensive repairs if the software or screen glitches. M: We provide a standard two-year warranty on the electronics, and a ten-year warranty on the compressor itself. We also offer free software updates for life. [Q17] According to the salesman, how does the smart refrigerator help reduce food waste?

中文翻譯

女：不好意思，我正在看這些智慧冰箱。除了觸控螢幕之外，它到底有什麼優點，能讓它比一般冰箱更值得這麼高的價格？ 男：問得好。它的主要優勢是能減少食物浪費。這些機型配有內部攝影機，可以掃描您放進去的食材。您在超市時，可以透過智慧型手機查看冰箱裡有什麼。 女：那確實能防止我買到重複的東西。它也會追蹤保存期限嗎？ 男：是的，沒錯。您可以輸入購買日期，當食材快到期時，冰箱就會發送通知到您的手機。它甚至還能根據需要趕快用完的食材來推薦食譜。 女：這真的很厲害，但我有點擔心耗電量。有這麼多智慧功能和螢幕，難道不會耗費更多電嗎？ 男：事實上，剛好相反。它配備了先進的變頻壓縮機和智慧感測器，能根據開門的頻率來優化冷卻循環。它的能源效率實際上比我們的基本款高出百分之二十。 女：那我就放心了。那保固方面呢？有這麼多科技功能，我擔心如果軟體或螢幕出現故障，維修費用會很貴。 男：我們針對電子零件提供兩年的標準保固，壓縮機本身則有十年的保固。另外，我們還提供終身免費的軟體更新。

M: Ouch! My lower back has been killing me lately. I think these office chairs are really starting to take a toll on my posture. W: I used to have the same issue. Have you tried adjusting the lumbar support? Most people don't realize our chairs have a dial underneath to change the back curve. M: Really? I didn't know that. I'll check it out. But I also spend about eight hours a day sitting without moving much, which probably doesn't help. W: Definitely not. Our bodies aren't designed to stay static for that long. I set a timer on my computer to remind me to stand up and stretch for five minutes every hour. M: That sounds like a good habit. Do you actually manage to stick to it even when you're super busy? W: Most of the time, yes. Even just standing up to get a glass of water helps. I also switched to a standing desk converter last month, which has been a game-changer. M: A standing desk converter? Is that the platform you place on top of your existing desk? W: Yes, you can easily raise or lower it with a lever. I stand for about two hours in the afternoon when I tend to feel sluggish. It really boosts my energy. [Q19] What is the man's main physical complaint?

中文翻譯

男：噢！我最近下背痛得要命。我覺得這些辦公椅真的開始影響我的姿勢了。 女：我以前也有同樣的問題。你試過調整腰靠嗎？大多數人沒發現我們的椅子下面有一個旋鈕，可以調整椅背的弧度。 男：真的嗎？我以前都不知道。我待會來看看。不過我一天大約有八個小時都坐著不太動，這可能也沒什麼幫助。 女：確實沒幫助。我們的身體本來就不是設計來長時間保持靜止的。我在電腦上設定了定時器，提醒自己每小時站起來伸展五分鐘。 男：這聽起來是個好習慣。妳在超級忙碌的時候，真的還能堅持下去嗎？ 女：大多數時候可以。哪怕只是站起來倒杯水都有幫助。我上個月還換成了桌上型升降桌，這徹底改變了我的工作體驗。 男：桌上型升降桌？那是放在你現有辦公桌上的平台嗎？ 女：對，你可以用控制桿輕鬆調高或調低。我下午覺得昏昏欲睡的時候，會站大約兩個小時。這真的很提神。

W: I'm so glad the school board is finally open to updating the lunch menu. The current options are far too high in sodium and processed carbs. M: I agree. But we need to be realistic. If we replace all the pizzas and chicken nuggets with kale salads overnight, the kids will just bring junk food from home or skip lunch entirely. W: That's a fair point. We need healthier versions of things they already like. For instance, we could offer whole-wheat crust pizzas with low-fat cheese and vegetable toppings. M: Now that's a compromise they might actually accept. We could also swap deep-fried fries for baked sweet potato wedges. They taste sweet, so kids usually love them. W: Excellent idea. What about drinks? Currently, the vending machines are full of sugary sodas and artificial juices. M: We should definitely propose replacing those with flavored sparkling water and unsweetened milk options. But we must ensure the pricing remains affordable for all families. W: Absolutely. Healthy food shouldn't be a luxury. I'll draft a menu proposal with these options and present it at the next parent-teacher association meeting. M: Perfect. I'll gather some data on the cost of ingredients to show that this change won't exceed the school's current budget. [Q21] What is the man's main concern about drastically changing the school lunch menu?

中文翻譯

女：我很高興學校董事會終於願意更新午餐菜單了。目前的選擇鈉含量和加工碳水化合物都太高了。 男：我同意。但我們必須切合實際。如果我們一夜之間把所有的披薩和雞塊都換成羽衣甘藍沙拉，孩子們只會從家裡帶垃圾食物過來，或者乾脆不吃午餐。 女：說得有道理。我們需要他們原本就喜歡的食物的健康版本。例如，我們可以提供搭配低脂起司和蔬菜配料的全麥餅皮披薩。 男：這確實是他們可能會接受的折衷方案。我們也可以把油炸薯條換成烤地瓜塊。它們吃起來甜甜的，所以孩子們通常很喜歡。 女：太棒的主意了。那飲料呢？目前自動販賣機裡裝滿了含糖汽水和人工果汁。 男：我們絕對應該提議將這些飲料更換為風味氣泡水和無糖牛奶。但我們必須確保價格對所有家庭來說都是負擔得起的。 女：沒錯。健康食物不應該是奢侈品。我會起草一份包含這些選項的菜單提案，並在下一次的家長會上提出。 男：太好了。我會收集一些關於食材成本的數據，以證明這項改變不會超出學校目前的預算。

Welcome to the Green Haven Eco-Resort orientation. We pride ourselves on maintaining a minimal ecological footprint, and we ask our guests to join us in this mission. You will notice that our cabins do not have individual air conditioning units; instead, they are designed with natural ventilation systems that utilize the mountain breeze. To keep the local wildlife safe, we strictly prohibit guests from bringing single-use plastics onto the nature trails. Additionally, our dining hall serves meals prepared exclusively with organic ingredients sourced within a ten-mile radius. We hope these practices enhance your connection to nature during your stay.

When shopping online, many consumers are swayed by subscription models that offer free trials. While these trials seem harmless, they often require credit card information upfront and automatically enroll you in a paid monthly plan once the trial period ends. To avoid unwanted charges, it is crucial to read the terms and conditions carefully, particularly the cancellation policy. Set a reminder on your calendar a few days before the trial expires so you can evaluate whether the service is truly worth the ongoing cost. Being proactive is the best way to keep your subscription expenses under control. [Q29] What risk of free trials does the speaker highlight?

網購時，許多消費者會受到提供免費試用的訂閱模式所吸引。雖然這些試用看似無害，但通常需要預先提供信用卡資訊，並在試用期結束後自動幫你加入付費的月費方案。為了避免產生非預期的費用，仔細閱讀條款與細則（特別是取消政策）至關重要。在試用期結束前幾天，在行事曆上設定提醒，這樣你就能評估該服務是否真的值得持續付費。採取主動是控制訂閱支出的最佳方法。[第 29 題] 講者強調了免費試用的哪種風險？

When preparing a business presentation, many professionals make the mistake of overloading their slides with text. This often results in the audience reading the slides instead of listening to the presenter. To deliver an impactful presentation, aim for a minimalist design with key bullet points and high-quality visuals. Your slides should serve as a visual aid to support your narrative, not a word-for-word script. Remember, the goal is to engage your audience through effective storytelling and direct eye contact, which builds trust and keeps their attention focused on your message. [Q35] What mistake does the speaker say many professionals make?

在準備商務簡報時，許多專業人士常犯一個錯誤，那就是在投影片中放入過多文字。這往往會導致聽眾只顧著看投影片，而沒有專心聽簡報者說話。為了呈現一場具影響力的簡報，請盡量採用極簡設計，搭配關鍵重點字句和高品質的視覺圖像。您的投影片應該是輔助說明的視覺工具，而不是逐字稿。請記住，簡報的目標是透過生動的敘事和直接的眼神接觸來吸引聽眾，這樣才能建立信任感，並讓他們的注意力集中在您要傳達的訊息上。

With many of us spending hours sitting in front of screens, physical inactivity has become a major health concern. Incorporating short bursts of movement into your daily routine can make a significant difference. For instance, instead of taking the elevator, try taking the stairs for at least three floors.

These small, consistent changes not only boost your physical health but also improve mental clarity and productivity throughout the workday.

由於我們許多人每天花好幾個小時坐在螢幕前，缺乏身體活動已成為一個主要的健康隱憂。在日常生活中融入短暫的活動，就能帶來顯著的改變。例如，試著不搭電梯，改爬至少三層樓的樓梯。此外，也可以設定計時器，提醒自己每小時站起來伸展兩分鐘。這些微小且持之以恆的改變，不僅能促進身體健康，還能提升工作整天的思緒清晰度與工作效率。
