Giving a presentation in front of the class can be stressful. To build your confidence, try practicing in front of a mirror or recording yourself.

[Q27] According to the speaker, how can students make their presentations better?

都市園藝最近受到高度關注。許多住在公寓的人正將自家的陽台改造成小巧的綠意空間。這不僅僅是為了種植新鮮蔬菜，許多人也發現照顧植物有助於舒緩日常壓力。從羅勒或薄荷等容易種植的香草植物著手，是開啟這項令人充滿成就感之嗜好的絕佳方式。[Q28] 為什麼講者建議從羅勒或薄荷開始種起？

Many grocery stores are now placing fresh fruits and vegetables right near the entrance. This is a deliberate design choice. When customers buy healthy items first, they tend to feel less guilty about purchasing unhealthy snacks later in the store. Understanding this trick can help you make better decisions and save money on your next shopping trip. [Q29] Why do grocery stores put healthy food near the entrance?

中文翻譯

許多超市現在都把新鮮蔬果直接擺在靠近入口的地方。這是刻意設計的。當顧客先購買了健康的食物，之後在店裡購買不健康的零食時，往往比較不會感到內疚。了解這個把戲可以幫助你在下次採買時做出更好的決定並省下荷包。問題：為什麼超市要把健康食物放在入口附近？

When traveling, many of us want to bring back souvenirs. However, buying items made from local wildlife, such as shells or feathers, can harm the environment.

[Q30] What kind of souvenirs does the speaker encourage travelers to buy?

中文翻譯

旅行時，我們許多人都想帶些紀念品回家。然而，購買由當地野生動植物製成的物品（例如貝殼或羽毛）可能會危害環境。相反地，可以考慮透過購買手工藝品來支持當地的藝術家。這樣一來，你既能帶回獨特的回憶，同時也能幫助當地社區並保護大自然。[Q30] 講者鼓勵旅客購買哪種紀念品？

Getting enough sleep is crucial for our brains to function properly. While we sleep, our brains process the information we learned during the day and clear out waste. Studies show that teenagers who sleep less than eight hours a night often struggle to focus in class. Therefore, keeping a regular sleep schedule is just as important as studying hard. [Q31] According to the speaker, what is one benefit of getting enough sleep?

中文翻譯

充足的睡眠對我們的大腦正常運作至關重要。在我們睡覺時，大腦會處理我們白天所學到的資訊，並清除廢物。研究顯示，每晚睡眠少於八小時的青少年，上課時往往難以專心。因此，保持規律的睡眠作息與努力讀書一樣重要。[Q31] 根據講者的說法，充足睡眠的其中一個好處是什麼？

Many people believe that multitasking is the best way to get things done quickly. However, research suggests that switching between tasks actually lowers productivity and increases mistakes. Instead of doing everything at once, try focusing on one task for twenty-five minutes, then taking a short break. You will likely find that you finish your work faster and with fewer errors. [Q32] What does the speaker suggest doing to improve productivity?

中文翻譯

許多人認為同時處理多項工作是快速完成事情最好的方法。然而，研究指出，在不同任務之間切換實際上會降低生產力並增加出錯率。與其一次做好所有事情，不如嘗試專注於單一任務二十五分鐘，然後稍作休息。你很可能會發現，自己完成工作的速度變快了，而且犯的錯誤也變少了。[第32題] 講者建議採取什麼做法來提高生產力？

Ice cream is enjoyed all over the world today, but its history might surprise you. Long ago, people in ancient Rome collected snow from the mountains and mixed it with honey and fruit. It was a luxury that only the very wealthy could enjoy because getting fresh snow was difficult. It wasn't until modern refrigeration was invented that ice cream became available to everyone. [Q33] Why was ice cream a luxury in ancient Rome?

中文翻譯

現今全世界的人都喜愛冰淇淋，但它的歷史可能會讓你大吃一驚。很久以前，古羅馬人會從山上收集積雪，並將其與蜂蜜和水果混合。由於取得新鮮的積雪非常困難，因此這是一種只有極其富有的人才能享用的奢侈品。直到現代冷凍技術發明後，冰淇淋才普及到大眾的生活中。[Q33] 為什麼冰淇淋在古羅馬是一種奢侈品？

With summer temperatures rising globally, cities are looking for ways to stay cool. One innovative solution is painting building roofs white. Dark roofs absorb heat from the sun, making buildings much hotter inside. White roofs, on the other hand, reflect sunlight away, which reduces the need for air conditioning and lowers energy bills for residents. [Q34] How do white roofs help cool down buildings?

中文翻譯

隨著全球夏季氣溫上升，各大城市正在尋找降溫消暑的方法。其中一個創新的解決方案是將建築物的屋頂漆成白色。深色屋頂會吸收太陽的熱能，使建築物內部變得更加炎熱。相反地，白色屋頂能將陽光反射出去，進而減少對冷氣的需求並降低居民的電費。[Q34] 白色屋頂是如何幫助建築物降溫的？

We often look to books and websites for historical information, but some of the best stories are right in our own homes. Talking to our grandparents about their youth can give us a unique view of the past. They can share what life was like before smartphones, how they spent their free time, and the challenges they faced. These personal histories are valuable treasures that we should preserve. [Q35] What does the speaker encourage listeners to do?

中文翻譯

我們經常在書本和網站上尋找歷史資訊，但其實一些最棒的故事就在我們自己家裡。與祖父母聊聊他們的年輕歲月，能讓我們以獨特的視角認識過去。他們可以分享在智慧型手機出現前的生活、以前如何度過空閒時間，以及他們曾面臨的挑戰。這些個人歷史是我們應該保存的珍貴寶藏。講者鼓勵聽眾做什麼？
