W: I can't decide between these two laptops. The lighter one is so easy to carry around. M: True, but look at the storage space. The heavier one has twice as much space for your videos.

[Q] Why does the man recommend the heavier laptop?

M: Are we taking the high-speed train to Kaohsiung this weekend? W: I was thinking we could drive. It would allow us to stop at some interesting places along the way.

[Q] Why did the speakers decide to take the train instead of driving?

W: What are you doing with the sofa, Dad? M: I'm trying to move it closer to the window so we can have more space in the center of the room.

[Q] Why did the father decide not to put the sofa near the window?

中文翻譯

女：爸，你搬這張沙發要幹嘛？ 男：我想把它搬得離窗戶近一點，這樣客廳中間才會有更多空間。 女：可是如果放那裡的話，會擋到我的植物曬太陽。 男：啊，我沒想到這點。那我們改放靠對面的牆壁試試看好了。 [問題] 為什麼父親決定不把沙發放在窗戶旁邊？

Good morning, travelers! Before we begin our hiking trip today, I want to remind everyone about our eco-friendly guidelines. Please keep all your trash inside your backpacks until we return to the visitor center. Also, stay on the marked wooden paths at all times to avoid stepping on rare mountain plants. Our goal is to enjoy the beauty of this national park without leaving any footprints behind. Thank you for helping us protect nature. [Q27] What are the hikers asked to do to protect the environment?

中文翻譯

各位旅客，大家早！在今天開始健行行程之前，我想提醒大家注意我們的環保規範。請將所有垃圾留在背包裡，直到我們返回遊客中心。此外，請務必隨時走在有標示的木棧道上，以避免踩踏到稀有的高山植物。我們的目標是享受這座國家公園的美景，同時不留下任何足跡。感謝大家協助我們保護大自然。[第27題] 登山客被要求做什麼來保護環境？

Many people think they need to spend hours in the gym to stay healthy, but recent studies suggest otherwise. Taking short, active breaks throughout the day can also have significant health benefits. For example, walking briskly for just ten minutes after lunch can improve your digestion and boost your energy levels for the afternoon. Standing up and stretching every hour while working at your desk is another simple way to reduce muscle tension. Remember, small changes in your daily routine can lead to big improvements in your overall well-being. [Q28] What does the speaker suggest people do to stay healthy?

中文翻譯

許多人認為他們需要花好幾個小時在健身房運動才能保持健康，但最近的研究卻有不同的發現。在一天當中安排短暫且有活力的休息時間，也能對健康帶來顯著的好處。例如，午餐後快走短短十分鐘，就能改善消化系統並提升下午的精神。在辦公桌前工作時，每小時站起來伸展一下，也是減少肌肉緊繃的另一個簡單方法。請記住，日常作息中的微小改變，都能大幅改善您的整體健康。[Q28] 講者建議人們做什麼來保持健康？

When shopping for groceries, many of us are attracted by colorful packaging and discount signs. However, smart shoppers know that checking the unit price is the best way to save money. The unit price tells you how much an item costs per gram or per milliliter, allowing you to compare different brands and package sizes accurately. Often, a larger container seems like a better deal, but calculating the unit price might reveal that the smaller one is actually cheaper. Next time you go to the supermarket, take a closer look at the price tags on the shelves. [Q30] According to the speaker, how can shoppers save money at the supermarket?

中文翻譯

購買民生用品時，我們許多人都會被色彩鮮豔的包裝和折扣標示所吸引。然而，聰明的消費者知道，查看「單價」才是省錢的最佳方法。單價顯示了商品每公克或每毫升的價格，讓你能精確比較不同的品牌和包裝大小。通常大容量包裝看似比較划算，但計算單價後，可能會發現小包裝實際上更便宜。下次去超市時，不妨仔細看一下貨架上的價格標籤。[Q30] 根據講者的說法，消費者在超市要如何省錢？

We also remind you to keep your voices down to maintain a quiet study environment for everyone. Good luck with your exams! [Q31] What change will occur at the school library next week?

Growing your own vegetables at home is a rewarding hobby that is easier than you might think. You do not need a huge backyard; a sunny balcony with a few pots is more than enough to start. Tomatoes and lettuce are excellent choices for beginners because they grow quickly and do not require complicated care. Just make sure they receive at least six hours of sunlight daily and are watered regularly. Soon, you will be enjoying fresh, organic salads grown by your own hands. [Q32] What makes tomatoes and lettuce good choices for beginner gardeners?

中文翻譯

在家自己種蔬菜是一項很有成就感的嗜好，而且比你想像的還要簡單。你不需要一個大後院，一個陽光充足的陽台加上幾個花盆就綽綽有餘了。番茄和萵苣是初學者的極佳選擇，因為它們生長迅速，且不需要複雜的照顧。只要確保它們每天至少接受六個小時的日照並定期澆水即可。很快地，你就能享用自己親手種植的新鮮有機沙拉。[第32題] 為什麼番茄和萵苣是園藝初學者的好選擇？

Baking bread at home has become increasingly popular, but many beginners get discouraged when their loaves turn out heavy and hard. The most common cause of this problem is not letting the dough rise long enough. Yeast, which makes the bread light and fluffy, needs time and warmth to do its job. If your kitchen is cold, you can place the dough inside a turned-off oven with a bowl of hot water next to it. This creates a warm, moist environment that helps the dough rise perfectly. [Q33] What is a common reason why homemade bread turns out too hard?

中文翻譯

在家烤麵包變得越來越流行，但許多初學者在烤出來的麵包又重又硬時會感到挫折。這個問題最常見的原因是沒有讓麵糰發酵足夠的時間。讓麵包蓬鬆輕軟的酵母需要時間和溫暖的環境才能發揮作用。如果你的廚房很冷，可以把麵糰放進關掉的烤箱中，並在旁邊放一碗熱水。這能創造出溫暖潮濕的環境，幫助麵糰完美發酵。[Q33] 自製麵包烤出來太硬的常見原因是什麼？

As autumn approaches, forest rangers are warning hikers to be prepared for sudden weather changes in the mountains. While mornings may start out warm and sunny, temperatures can drop rapidly in the afternoon, often accompanied by heavy fog or unexpected rain. Hikers should always carry a windproof jacket and extra layers of clothing, even if the forecast predicts good weather. Additionally, starting your hike early in the morning ensures you can finish before the afternoon mist makes the trails difficult to see. [Q34] Why are hikers advised to start their hike early in the morning?

中文翻譯

隨著秋天臨近，巡山員正警告登山客要對山區天氣的驟變做好準備。雖然早上可能溫暖且晴朗，但下午氣溫可能會迅速下降，且通常會伴隨濃霧或突如其來的降雨。登山客應隨身攜帶防風外套和額外的保暖衣物，即使氣象預報顯示天氣晴朗也是如此。此外，清晨開始登山可以確保你在下午的霧氣導致步道難以辨識之前結束行程。

Managing screen time for children is a challenge for many modern families. Instead of setting strict rules that lead to arguments, experts suggest creating "screen-free zones" in the house. For instance, making the dining table a phone-free area encourages family members to talk to each other during meals. Another good idea is to keep televisions and tablets out of the bedrooms, which can also help children sleep better at night. By focusing on where devices are used rather than how long, families can build healthier digital habits together. [Q35] What is one method recommended by experts to manage screen time?

中文翻譯

對許多現代家庭而言，管理孩子的螢幕使用時間是一項挑戰。與其制定會引發爭論的嚴格規則，專家建議在屋內規劃「無螢幕區域」。例如，將餐桌設為無手機區能鼓勵家人在用餐時互相交談。另一個好主意是不要在臥室擺放電視和平板電腦，這也能幫助孩子晚上睡得更好。藉由將焦點放在「在哪裡」使用裝置，而非使用「多久」，家人可以一起建立更健康的數位習慣。[Q35] 專家建議的其中一種管理螢幕使用時間的方法是什麼？
