層級二　語言能力訓練
閱讀理解(共8小題；每小題2.5分，滿分20分)
A
A little creativity each day can go a long way towards happiness and pleasure in our daily life.
The researchers followed 658 people for about two weeks and found that doing small, everyday things like cooking and baking made them feel more relaxed and happier. By following diaries kept by the study subjects, the researchers found that besides feeling happier, people who worked on little creative projects every day also felt they were “flourishing”， a term that describes the feeling of personal growth. That could mean that the good feeling that comes with pulling the freshlybaked bread out of the oven could carry over into the next day, making that baker more likely to keep on with little acts of creative cooking.
This isn't the first time researchers have connected making food with good feelings. In recent years, cooking and baking have been explored as a tool to help people deal with things like nervousness and worry. “When I'm in the kitchen, preparing things like sugar or butter I need or breaking the exact number of eggs, I am in control，” said baker John Whaite with mental disorder. “That's really important as a key sign of my illness is a feeling of no control.”
“For people like Whaite baking can help them by providing small tasks to focus on. To put together a good meal, cooks have to be continuously in the moment, adding seasonings and tasting their food to make sure everything will tick__all__the__right__boxes,__all of which can be helpful methods of treating some forms of mental illness，” wrote Huma Qureshi.
A lot of us turn to baking when we're feeling low. Some of us even start baking because they are ill and need something simple to focus. Baking may not be a basic cure for mental illness, but anyone in need of lifted spirits should consider it.

B
I've been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference, which is where I first met and fell in love with my husband Tom, who was on my team of covolunteers. Since getting married in 2013, we've been living in Beirut, Lebanon. My husband works for a nonprofit organization. I have an online coaching business, so I have many opportunities to volunteer for youth education.
Volunteering has been a way of life for me and I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you're making a difference. Once I led a project that provided food for Syrian families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I filled the food package with nuts, olive oil, sweets... We took the package unannounced and arrived just as the Syrian family was sitting on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing but some bread and a pot of tea. The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness.
Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a distant church with only a few elderly residents. The building was old and the churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the church. I'll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. She couldn't repair broken doors or pull weeds, but she loved us like nothing else. It breaks my heart to remember this old lady beaming with joy for such small efforts we made. Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around.
Volunteering makes me a better person because it puts my focus on others. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people, which gives a deep sense of meaning to my life.
