Look after your gut (消化道) Have you ever felt uncomfortable with your stomach when you’re nervous or excited This is because there is a close connection between your gut and your brain. You have around 200 types of microbes (微生物) in your gut. Healthy microbes help your body fight illnesses and help your brain deal with stress. “So, take care of your gut,” a scientist says.
Stop anger with activities A new study aimed at 12,489 people has suggested that the key to reducing anger is not letting it out, but doing calming activities such as yoga. These activities could slow the heart rate (心率). However, scientists also find some ball games and team sports, which are fun or playful, could reduce anger.
Show compassion Showing compassion means you understand others’ feelings and treat them with kindness. Scientists have discovered when you show compassion, your brain lets out a feel-good chemical (化學物質), which helps to reduce stress. It is reported that when other people see you showing compassion, they want to do it too.
26. What activities might reduce anger according to the new study

Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much fun from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (視力) And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.
The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent (永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again... But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.
(—Taken from Three Days to See by Helen Keller)

An old saying used for forecasting (預測) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.
Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming.
If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (壓力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers— their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing Are they moving to higher ground This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day!
33. What is the old saying about
A. The beauty of sunrise. B. The night sky.
C. The signs of the weather. D. The sailors’work.
34. What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean
A. The persons who give daily weather reports on TV.
B. The persons who carry out research on natural history.
C. The persons who take an interest in plants and animals.
D. The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions.
35. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. It’ll be sunny if ants move to higher places.
B. The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air.
C. Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure.
D. It’ll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise.
36. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text
A. To encourage people to get close to nature.
B. To express the need for weather forecasting.
C. To explain nature can tell us about the weather.
D. To discuss how important weather forecasting is.

Miss Martha Meacham kept the little bakery on the corner. At forty, she had two false teeth and a sympathetic (同情的) heart. She has two thousand dollars in the bank. Many people, who were not as good as Miss Martha, had married.
A customer came in two or three times a week, and soon Miss Martha began to take an interest in him. He was a quiet, middle-aged man, wearing glasses and a brown beard. ① His clothes were always old and patched. But he looked tidy and had very good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf, while stale loaves were two for five. ②
Once, while serving him, Miss Martha saw a red and brown mark (污點) on the customer’s fingers. ③ She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in an attic (閣樓), where he painted pictures, ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha’s bakery. ④
Miss Martha’s heart was a sympathetic one. To check if she was right about his job, she took a painting from her room and put it behind the bread counter (柜臺). No artist could fail to notice it. Two days later, the customer came in.
“Two loaves of stale bread, if you please.”
“You have here a fine picture, madam,” he said while she was packing the bread.
“Yes ” said Miss Martha, pleased with her cleverness. “Do you think it is a good picture ”
“The palace,” said the customer, “is not in good drawing. The perspective (透視畫法) of it is not true. Goodbye, madam.”
He took his bread, bowed and hurried out.
Yes, he must be an artist. How gently and kindly his eyes shone behind his glasses! To be able to judge perspective at a quick look—and to live on stale bread But talented people often have to go through difficulties before they succeed.
What a thing it would be for art and perspective if genius were supported by two thousand dollars in the bank, a bakery and a sympathetic heart—But these were daydreams.
Now, when he came, he would often chat for a while with Miss Martha. He kept on buying stale bread, never a cake, never a pie. She thought he began to look thinner and lost heart. She wanted to offer something good to him, but she was afraid of hurting him. She knew the pride (驕傲) of artists. (To be continued)
37. We can put the sentence “Never did he call for anything but stale bread.” in ________.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
38. Why did Miss Martha put the painting behind the bread counter
A. To test if the customer was an artist. B. To sell the painting to help the poor artist.
C. To show her personal art collection and taste. D. To decorate the shop and attract more customers.
39. How does the writer mainly develop the story
A. By describing the setting in great detail. B. By showing scenes between two locations.
C. By using long dialogues between characters. D. By exploring Miss Martha’s thoughts and feelings.

請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據短文內容回答問題。
Chopsticks (or kuaizi in Chinese) are a kind of common tableware in the world. They are widely used in Asia and overseas Chinese Community. Chopsticks are also one of the symbols of Chinese food culture.
There are many stories about who may have invented them. About 3000 years ago, our ancestor called Dayu who helped people fight against floods. He was always busy and often ate in the wild. To save time, he used two branches to get the food. He found this way was more convenient than using hands. People followed him to use chopsticks to eat. In fact, the earliest chopsticks were invented more than 3,000 years ago, dating back to the Shang Dynasty. Around 500 A.D., the use of chopsticks spread from China to some countries in Asia like Japan, Vietnam and Korea.
Chopsticks are usually 7 cun and 6 fen long. Cun and fen are Chinese units of measurement. 7 cun 6 fen is about 25.3333333 cm. They are round at one end and squared at the other. In ancient times, the wealthy had their chopsticks made of silver, gold, jade or other precious materials. Nowadays, they are made from different materials.
Although chopsticks are ordinary sticks, there is some Chinese philosophy (哲學) in them. The round end stands for the sky and the squared end stands for the earth. They are always used in pairs which is full of Chinese best wishes. Chinese like even numbers (偶數) because pair in Chinese is a very lucky word. So a pair of chopsticks can be used as the wedding gift. It means “to have a smart baby soon”.
Meanwhile, there are some customs to use chopsticks while eating. Remember not to use chopsticks to hit the side of your bowl or plate to make a lot of noise. Never use them to point at others or to put them into rice directly. They are considered as impolite manners.
Chopsticks are commonly used in Chinese daily life, but they are full of Chinese culture.
