However, many people, either refusing to accept the new date or not having heard about it, 17 to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on “fool’s errands” or trying to fool them into believing something false. 18 , the practice spread throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
Nowadays, on April Fools’ Day, people often 19 to create elaborate hoaxes to fool others. Newspapers, radio and TV stations, and websites have participated in the April 1 tradition of making 20 reports in order to fool their audiences. The BBC once reported that Swiss farmers were experiencing a spaghetti crop and showed scenes of people harvesting noodles from trees. Guess what? Numerous viewers were fooled.

Researchers from a university in Japan have developed “diet-glasses” that play tricks with one’s perception of food, which could be helpful to people on a diet. A camera and a viewing system are built 26 these glasses. As the wearer brings the food toward their mouth, the camera captures an image of the food. It replays the image back through the glasses after processing it on an attached computer. The size of the food they are about to eat is magnified while 27 of their hand remains normal. Their brain is 28 tricked into thinking they are eating more than they really are. The study showed that participants who wore the glasses ate 9.3% less than those who did not wear them.
The team has also developed a special device which uses scent bottles and visual trickery to make the wearers of these glasses think that the plain snack they are eating is
29 than it actually is. The device, for instance, can be set to 30 one’s favorite flavor. Recent
experiments with this device showed that 80% of the participants were fooled by the smell. For example, some participants thought that they were eating a chocolate snack, but in fact they were not.

My father started to suffer from memory loss right after his marriage. Or so my mother told us. She said they were married on May 26, while my dad’s memory told him it was June 25. This often 31 their
anniversary celebration, for his rose bouquet always came one month late. Mom seldom asked Dad to go shopping in the traditional market for her. But
whenever Dad 32 on going, she made sure that he brought a shopping list. Dad certainly had the list 33 when he left for the market, but he would somehow forget it, and then would find it again only after he returned home. Of course, the 34 that he made were based mainly on his memory of the list.
Unfortunately, the items were usually different from Mom’s 35 .
My father’s poor memory gave him certain advantages, though. For instance, he was 36 with many secrets in my family and our community. Because of
我父親結婚後就開始失憶，至少我媽 是這樣告訴我們的。她說他們在5月26日結 婚，但我爸的記憶告訴他是6月25日。這常 常毀了他們的周年慶祝會，因為他的玫瑰 花束總是晚了一個月才來。媽媽很少叫爸 爸去傳統市場幫她買東西。但每次爸爸堅 持要去的時候，媽媽會確認爸爸有帶購物 清單。爸爸去市場前的確有把清單準備 好，但不知怎麼地，爸爸都會忘記，而都 只有在他回到家時，才會再次找到清單。 當然，他所買的東西主要都依靠著他對清 單的記憶。很不幸地，物品通常都與媽媽 的要求不同。 不過，我父親記性差還是給了他一定 的優勢。舉例來說，我的家庭或我們的生 活圈，都可以將很多秘密託付給我爸。因 為他記性不好，他可以有聽取大家私事的 特權。原因非常的明顯：我們覺得我爸都 不會記得任何一項秘密。至於我們的鄰
his poor memory, he had the 37 of hearing everyone’s private matters. The reason was 38 : Dad would not remember any of it, we thought. As for our neighbors, they liked to invite my father to dinner so that they could tell him stories about their children, parents, friends, and pets. They also believed the secrets in their families would never be 39 . They were quite right, for my father cared 40 about who did what to whom. But there is one thing he would never forget: showing up for dinner on time.
(A) little (B) purchases (C) trusted (D) requests (E) insisted (F) ready (G) ruined (H) privilege (I) revealed (J) obvious

31. 由句型來看，此處應填入動詞。根據文意，因為記性差而「破壞了」結婚的週年紀念，故選擇 (G)
ruined
32. 此為片語，堅持做某事insist on Ving，故選擇(E) insisted。
33. 以為S.+ have +O.+O.C.的句型，故空格內應填入補語修飾受詞，故選擇 (F) ready。
34. 關係代名詞that前方應填入名詞作為先行詞。再分析文意，爸爸去市場「買東西」，故選擇(B)
purchases
35. 以句型來看，所有格後應填入名詞。而根據文意推測，所買之物與媽媽的「要求」不相同，故選
擇(D) requests。
36. be動詞後應填入形容詞或Vp.p.。而爸爸因為記性差可被家人「信任」，故選擇(C) trusted。 37. 定冠詞the後應填入名詞，have the privilege of Ving 「有做某事的特權」，故選擇(H) privilege。 38. be動詞後應填入形容詞或Vp.p.，而爸爸擁有特權的理由很「明顯」，故選擇(J) obvious。 39. be動詞後應填入形容詞或Vp.p，根據文意推測，秘密將不會被「洩露出去」，故選擇(I) revealed。 40. 以句型來看，應填入副詞修飾cared，因為爸爸不會說別人秘密，故爸爸對這些事情「不太」在 意。故選擇(A) little。 四、閱讀測驗 題號 原文 解析 41. | 44. 第41至44題為題組
Angelfish, often found in the warm seas and coral reefs, are among the most brightly colored fish of the ocean. Brilliant colors and stripes form amazing patterns on their body. These patterns actually help the fish to hide from danger among roots and plants. At night, when these fish become inactive, their colors may become pale. Often, the young ones are differently colored than the adults. Some scientists believe that the color
difference between the young and the old indicates their different social positions.
天使魚，常見於溫暖的海洋和珊瑚礁 中，是海洋中顏色最鮮豔的魚之一。明亮 的顏色和條紋在他們的身體上形成驚人 的圖案。這些圖樣實際上能幫助天使魚藏 身在植物根部或水草之中躲避危險。到了 晚上，當這些魚變得不活躍，他們的顏色 可能會變得蒼白。一般情形下，年輕天使 魚的顏色與成年不同。一些科學家認為， 年輕和老年天使魚的顏色差異表明他們 的社會地位不同。 關於天使魚的另一個有趣的事實
Another interesting fact about angelfish is that they have an occupation in the fish world. Most of them act as cleaners for other fish and pick dead tissue from their bodies. This is not their food, though. Their diet consists mainly of sponge and algae.
One particular kind of angelfish, the blackspot angelfish, has a special capability that allows it to change gender from female to male. However, the change is not made at random; it happens for a specific reason. Angelfish live in groups, and each group has one male fish, which is blue in color, and four female fish, which are yellow. The male angelfish is the strongest and largest member of the group. He is the one who protects and looks after the females. When the male dies, the group needs a new “security guard.” This is when the largest female in the group begins to change in appearance. She begins to grow larger in size, and after a week, she starts changing color, from yellow to blue. Slowly, her behavior toward the other fish also changes. She begins behaving like a male. Two weeks later, black stripes appear on her body, indicating the gender change is complete. She is now completely male! 是，它們在魚的世界裡有一個職業。他們 中的大多數充當其他魚類的清潔工，幫它 們採摘體內死亡組織。不過，這不是他們 的食物。他們的飲食主要是海綿和藻類。 一種特殊的天使魚─黑紋頰刺魚，具 有特殊的能力，使其能夠改變性別從雌性 到雄性。但是，更改不是隨機進行的，它 的發生有特定的原因。天使魚成群結隊地 生活，每個組都有一條藍色的雄魚和四條 雌魚，它們是黃色的。雄性天使魚是該群 體中最強壯、最大的成員。他是保護和照 顧女性的人。男性死亡後，該組織需要新 的 "保安人員"。這時這個群體中最大的 雌性開始在外表上發生變化。她開始變 大，一個星期後，她開始改變顏色，從黃 色變成藍色。慢慢地，她對其他魚的行為 也發生了變化。她開始表現得像雄性。兩 周後， 她身上出現了黑色條紋，表明性 別變化已經完成。她現在完全是雄性了!

Totem poles in North America are poles or posts carved with symbols or figures by Aboriginal peoples of the Northwest Coast. Carved from large, straight trees and painted vibrant colors, the totem poles are not just unique works of art. The coastal peoples have long passed on knowledge from generation to generation through oral traditions, and totem poles were the traditional way of telling the story of an individual family or clan. The totem pole can be grouped into specific categories, depending on its location and the occasion for which it was carved. Welcome poles were traditionally placed on village beachfronts to greet visitors arriving by canoe. Inside the homes of high-ranking chiefs is where house poles were found. The family’s history was carefully carved into each pole. Placed along the rear or front walls of a house, house poles also helped to support the main beam of the roof.
Memorial poles stood in front of a house. They were erected in memory of a deceased chief or a high-ranking clan member. The poles depicted the person’s
accomplishments or family history. Mortuary poles were also raised to honor the dead, but they differed from memorial poles, having a burial box placed at the top of the pole. Inside the burial box were the remains of the deceased.
While many of these poles can still be found in various locations on the west coast of North America, there is one pole that can now only be found in a museum—the shame pole. Traditionally, shame poles were carved for a chief to embarrass and ridicule another who had done something wrong. Once the wrong was made right, the pole was taken down.
北美的圖騰柱是由西北海岸的原住 民用符號或圖形雕刻的柱子或圓桿。圖騰 柱由大而直的樹木和鮮豔的顏色雕刻而 成，不僅僅只是獨特的藝術作品而已。沿 海人民長期以來通過口頭傳統代代相傳 知識，圖騰柱是講述個別家庭或氏族故事 的傳統方式。 圖騰柱可以根據其位置和雕刻的場 合分為特定類別。歡迎杆傳統上被放置在 村莊的海濱，迎接乘坐獨木舟抵達的遊 客。在高級酋長的住宅裡，發現了家族 柱。這個家族的歷史被仔細地刻在每一根 柱子上。放置在房子的後壁或前壁，家族 柱也有助於支援屋頂的主樑。 在一所房子的前面矗立著紀念柱。 他們是為紀念已故酋長或高級部族成員 而建造的。紀念柱描繪了這個人的成就或 家族歷史。殯儀館的喪葬柱也被舉起來紀 念死者，但它們與紀念柱不同，在喪葬柱 的頂端放了一副棺材。棺材裡是死者的遺 體。 雖然在北美西海岸的不同地點仍然 可以找到許多這樣的圖騰柱，但現在只有 一個圖騰柱可以在博物館裡找到─羞恥 柱。傳統來說，羞恥柱是酋長為了嘲笑和 讓做錯事的人難堪而建造，一旦錯誤被糾 正之後，這些羞恥柱就會拆掉。 圖騰柱是特定原住民文化的重要表現 形式。儘管殖民力量的文化和政治侵佔構 成了威脅，但圖騰及雕藝術仍然存在。原 住民雕刻家繼續雕刻圖騰，作為他們的文 化自豪感和氏族血緣關係的象徵。

Music has a tendency to get stuck in our heads. Sometimes a tune intrudes on our thoughts and then plays, and replays, in a never-ending loop. This
interesting phenomenon becomes a subject explored by many scientists. They use a range of terms to describe it—stuck-song syndrome, sticky music, cognitive itch, or most commonly “earworm.” Earworms can run around our heads for several minutes to numerous hours. As the melody repeats, it becomes embedded into our mind. Even though our ears do not hear the tune, our brain continues to play it.
Earworms often take the form of song fragments rather than entire songs, and the song is usually a familiar one. Researchers are not sure why some songs are more likely to get stuck in our heads than others, but everyone has their own tunes. Often those songs have a simple, upbeat melody and catchy, repetitive lyrics, such as popular commercial jingles and slightly annoying radio hits. Recent or repeated exposure to a song or even a small part of a song can also trigger earworms, as can word associations, such as a phrase similar to the lyrics of a song.
While earworms might be annoying, most people who experience them nevertheless report that they are pleasant or at least neutral. Only a third of people are disturbed by the song in their heads. How people cope with their earworms seems to depend on how they feel about them. Those who have positive feelings about their stuck songs prefer to just “let them be,” while those with negative feelings turn to more behavioral responses, which include coping strategies such as singing, talking, or even praying. 音樂具有滯留在我們腦中的傾向。有 時，一首曲調侵入我們的思想，然後在一 個永無止境的迴圈中播放和重播。這個有 趣的現象成了許多科學家探索的課題。他 們用一系列術語來形容它--卡曲綜合 症，粘性音樂，認知瘙癢或最常見的 " 耳蟲（餘音繞樑）"。餘音繞樑可以在我 們的腦中跑幾分鐘到幾個小時。當旋律重 複時，它就會嵌入到我們的頭腦中。儘管 我們的耳朵聽不到曲調，但我們的大腦還 在繼續演奏。 餘音繞樑通常採取歌曲片段的形 式，而不是整首歌，而這首歌通常是熟悉 的。研究人員不確定為什麼有些歌曲比其 他歌曲更容易滯留在我們的腦海裡，但每 個人都有自己的曲調。通常這些歌曲有一 個簡單，樂觀的旋律和吸引人的重複歌 詞，例如流行的商業歌曲和稍微煩人的電 台節目。最近或反復接觸一首歌曲，甚至 一首歌曲的一小部分也會引發餘音繞 樑，單詞聯想也會觸發餘音繞樑，例如類 似於歌曲歌詞的短語。 雖然餘音繞樑可能會很煩人， 但大 多數經歷過餘音繞樑的人都認為它是令 人愉快的或至少保持中立的態度。只有三 分之一的人被頭腦中的歌聲所困擾。人們 如何應對餘音繞樑似乎取決於他們對它 的感受。那些對自己的歌曲有積極感覺的 人更喜歡 "讓他們去吧"，而那些有消極 情緒的人則轉向更多的行為反應，其中包 括唱歌、說話甚至祈禱等應對策略。

Got a bug bite problem? Many people who are troubled by skin rashes caused by bug bites use “foggers,” or “bug bombs,” to get rid of the annoying crawlers in their homes. Many people think these bug killers or pesticides will penetrate every place where the insects hide.
Actually, quite the opposite is true. Once the pests detect the chemical fog in the room, they’ll hide themselves in walls or other hideaways, where you’ll never be able to treat them effectively.
Ohio State University researchers tested three commercially sold foggers in a study on the effect of foggers on bedbugs. After testing these brands on five different groups of live bedbugs for two hours, the scientists saw that the foggers had little—if any—effect
有被蟲子咬傷的問題嗎？許多人被 蟲子叮咬引起的紅疹所困擾，他們使用 " 殺蟲噴霧器" 或 "殺蟲劑炸彈" 來擺脫 家裡煩人的爬蟲。許多人認為這些殺蟲劑 會穿透昆蟲藏身的每一個地方。事實上， 恰恰相反。一旦害蟲探測到房間裡的化學 噴霧，它們就會躲在牆上或其他藏身處， 在那裡你永遠無法有效地治療將牠們清 除乾淨。 俄亥俄州立大學的研究人員在一項關於 殺蟲劑對臭蟲影響的研究中，測試了三個 商業銷售的殺蟲劑。在對五組不同的活臭 蟲進行了兩個小時的測試後，科學家們發 現殺蟲劑對昆蟲的影響很小--如果有的 話。研究人員說，臭蟲隱藏在裂縫和縫隙
on the insects. The researchers said bedbugs hide in cracks and crevices such as under sheets and mattresses, or deep in carpets where foggers won’t reach. Moreover, bugs that do come in contact with the mist may be resistant to the pesticide.
Foggers, or bug bombs, should really be a measure of last resort. First of all, the gases used in bug bombs are highly flammable and thus pose a serious risk of fire or explosion if the product is not used properly. Second, once a bug bomb is used, every surface in your home will be covered with the toxic pesticide. When you use a bug bomb, a chemical mixture rains down on your counters, furniture, floors, and walls, leaving behind oily and toxic substances. Your health might thus be
endangered. Therefore, it is suggested that people leave the problem to the professionals.
中，比如床單和床墊下，或者深藏在霧氣 無法到達的地毯深處。此外，與霧氣接觸 的蟲子可能會對殺蟲劑產生抗藥性。 "殺蟲噴霧器" 或 "殺蟲殺蟲劑"， 確實應該是萬不得已的措施。首先，殺蟲 劑中使用的氣體高度易燃，如果產品使用 不當，就會構成火災或爆炸的嚴重風險。 其次，一旦使用了殺蟲劑，家裡的每一個 表面都會被有毒農藥覆蓋。當你使用殺蟲 劑時，化學混合物會落在你的櫃檯、傢 俱、地板和牆壁上，留下油性和毒性物 質。而您的健康可能會受到威脅。所以， 建議人們將問題留給專業人士來解決。
