Principal’s Remarks
校本特色專題課程 培養學生跨域能力How can the multiple intelligences of our students be
implemented in our curriculum?
陳國祥 Dr. Chen Kuo-hsiang,
Principal of National Experimental School at Central Taiwan Science Park
Our school curriculum aims to reach students’ potential and equip them with the ability of independent learning, creative thinking, and problem solving in the hope of fulfilling the concept of holistic education.
It’s our great pleasure that Mr. Shih Yongting put the problem-based learning curriculum into practice and realized his passion for the ecocritical course “A Quick Guide to Ecocritical Perspectives for High School Students in Taiwan.” These students who voluntarily joined the course were strongly
motivated to improve their ability in both linguistic construction and critical thinking.
Ecocriticism is the study on the relationship between the liberal arts and the physical environment in an interdisciplinary viewpoint, where all the sciences come together to be used to look into the environment and seek for possible solutions to the correction of the contemporary environmental issues.
In the future, this innovative English course can improve with the participation from other fellow teachers in history, biology, and social studies, which will help make it a more comprehensive course to connect our students with the global society by way of local issues.
I believe, through this course, our students have learned the major theories of ecocriticism, recorded the changing landscapes around our neighborhood, and presented their research findings with ecocritical perspectives.
Advisor’s Remarks
生態學高中新嘗試 跨領域整合後勢夯How can an English course integrating ecocriticism be
practiced in high school?
阮秀莉 Dr. Rose Hsiu-li Juan,
Professor of Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, National Chung Hsing University
It is a great delight to see Mr. Shih Yongting put into practice his passion for ecocriticism and realize it in the path-blazing course "A Quick Guide to Ecocritical Perspectives for High School Students in Taiwan." The teaching and learning report of this course is a valuable record of his courageous attempt after Mr. Shih took the 2015 PhD course "Ecocritical Perspectives on Taiwan Literature and Film" at Chung Hsing University. In the "Quick Guide" course Mr. Shih introduced important ideas and terms and made them accessible for the students, such as the Earth as the commons for sustainable use and environmental sentimentalism. Students were guided through literary texts and eco-documentaries with
thoughts injected by the conceptual preparation. Inspired by what they
have learned, the students presented their readings of selected books and conducted mini-projects investigating their neighborhood. Through teaching and learning English as a means, Mr. Shih exposed the students to contemporary environmental concerns, and the students were connected to the global society by way of local issues. There is sure still much more to be desired to better this innovative English course. It calls for participation from fellow teachers in Chinese, history, and geography, etc. to make the course more comprehensive and more adapted to a high-school design. All in all, the course starts a sampling of what may be done in high-school English teaching and learning combined with ecocriticism, and opens up a space for both language acquisition and environmental awareness.

A Quick Guide to Ecocritical
Perspectives for High School
Students in Taiwan
英文專題結合生態批評 寰宇視野關懷在地環境
What are the features of our course?
This course is designed to integrate with a set of school-based curriculum in National Experimental High School at Central Taiwan Science Park. The class is intended to invite students who are interested in observing environmental changes around their neighborhoods, reading contemporary Taiwanese nature writings, and critiquing various landscapes of nature and humanity in Taiwan.
Each student will be guided to learn the major theories in the field
of ecocriticism with the nature writings of contemporary Taiwanese writers. Students are expected to gain basic understandings of historical backgrounds of Anthropocene, environmental imaginations of nature, settler ecocriticism, landscapes of feralities, and environmental sentimentalism. The ecocritical theories are made easy with examples selected from environmental issues in Taiwan and abroad. Moreover, students will be instructed to read the Taiwanese nature writings and examine the texts with the ecocritical perspectives. The nature writings are selected to help students understand what the relationship between nature and literature indicates and revisit the landscapes of Taiwan literature in the contemporary Chinese writings.
Following the ecocritical perspectives, students are led to observe the changing landscapes of their neighborhoods with a focus on the development of Taichung Science Park, a newly-built industrial park nearby their campus. They are guided to examine how the introduction of new industries and facilities changes the environment and how the locals have responded to the changes. Besides, they are also taught to think twice what nature means to them and what it really is. In the end of the course, students are required to present a report in a preferred format (a blog, a webpage, a digital portfolio or a video clip). Their
projects will be uploaded to an interactive platform, which allows those
who are interested in ecocritical perspectives and localogical studies to access what students in high school think about nature and how they respond to environmental changes in Taiwan. For the project, they can choose one of the nature writers in Taiwan and introduce the figure to the classmates. They can also find a nature text or a local landscape and examine the discourse of nature in relation to humans. Following the final presentation on their project, they have to make a column to introduce their work and compile a tabloid to promote their project.
Through the course, students are guided to think about the environmental issues ecocritically and examine the nature texts independently. With the ecocritical perspectives in a critical mind, they are expected to expand their cosmopolitan attitude toward nature and rethink the position of humans in relation to nature. When engaging themselves in the environment, they become a freelancer, traveling between the boundary of nature and humanity and transcending the border between humans and nonhumans.

Diamond Green Building
中部地區首座鑽石級綠建築校園 中科實中邁向永續生態智慧學校What is so special about our school?
National Experimental High School at Central Taiwan Science Park is the first “Diamond Green Building” in Taichung. Shadows of trees and stretches of meadows color this ecologically friendly environment. With an ecological pond on the southern tip, the campus is abundant in various natural resources.
What is so special about green buildings?
Diamond Green Building is the top level of EEWH. EEWH is the green building certification system in Taiwan. EEWH comprises nine indicators that fall into four categories – ecology, energy saving, waste reduction and health. EEWH has five levels: certified, bronze, silver, gold, and diamond.

The Age of Anthropocene
人類世影響全世界脈動 新世代開展起何時探究What is the Age of Anthropocene?
“The Antropocene is a proposed epoch that begins when human activities started to have a significant global impact on Earth’s geology and ecosystems.”1
When did the Age of Anthropocene start?
We consider three different critical timing points the time which Anthropocene started. One is when the human beings started farming. Another is 1784, the year that the Industrial Revolution began. And the other is 1945, the time that United States Army carried out the Trinity Test in New Mexico.
Humans started farming approximately simultaneously in the
regions of Southwest Asia, South America and North China, about 11,000 years ago. From then on, agriculture started to influence ecosystems, biodiversity and the circle of nature.
According to the experts, the fertilizer which was used to grow the rice crop released methane, a powerful greenhouse gas once it was airborne, when the bacterium was decomposing it and other organic compounds. That’s why William Ruddiman thinks Antropocene has proceeded since then.
Crutzen proposed the Industrial Revolution as the start of the Age of Anthropocene. Human activities have initiated the natural evolution because they have changed the landform and brought a great influence on the ecology, and even transformed the original speed of creatures’ evolution. This is also the time that the majority of our classmates agreed with and claimed it the most appropriate starting point of Anthropocene. Here is our argument. In 1784, the Industrial Revolution produced lots of carbon dioxide into the air. Our living environment started to be polluted by dust and carbon dioxide. In 1952, London had the biggest public hazard of smog.
citizens were badly hurt by the dangerous mist. It took away about 1,200
lives. Not only human beings but also plants were affected by the excessive carbon dioxide. With the greenhouse effect becoming more serious, the global warming appeared and led to environmental problems. For instance, some flowers’ florescence was not as usual.
As for 1945, the year when human beings used nuclear bomb for the first time, what kind of new era of the environment opened up? I think you know how big the impact was when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed.
The nuclear weapons release lionizing radiation, which is very dangerous to living beings. Lionizing radiation can damage the structure of the cells, leading to deformity and extinction. Take the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster for example. After the incident happened, the number of mutated butterflies in the county close to Fukushima increased.
In sum, whichever signifies the beginning of the Age of Anthropocene, human beings indeed have brought a significant change to the environment. Do you have your opinion on when the Anthropocene started?

Tragedy of the Commons
自然資源枯竭公地悲劇 人類未來危機如何解決What is the tragedy of the commons?
In the recent human activities, we overly exploit and consume natural resources, and we commodified all the resources as products for sale. This has pushed us into the tragedy of the commons, and you may have a question now – what is the tragedy of the commons?
Nature is the home to everything. Our ancestors came from nature, and they gave birth to us from generation to generation. Each human being has a strong connection with nature. However, we overly develop the environment and exploit the resources of nature, which even causes natural disasters.
us. Take deforestation for example. Lots of trees and animal species will
be threatened by the decrease in the number of woods. All the creatures are closely linked and inseparable. If one species is extinct, it will influence the whole nature system. A lush, green and productive area may turn into a barren of lifeless desert. Moreover, it may cause the butterfly effect. There will be a food shortage and then millions of people will die in hunger.
Today, nature has been hurt and doesn’t look natural anymore. Protecting nature and having environmental awareness are the major responsibilities that human should take. Ironically, we always build up something evil from nature, which may destroy our mother nature itself, and it is what we call “the tragedy of the commons.” Home Family/parent Friend Resource Source Treasure Everything 101 Environment ◤ Perceptions of nature
What do we think about nature?
BY LUNG, YIJIE (龍弈潔)
Nature is an important resource on the Earth. Nature provides the environment to human beings for their survival. If nature disappears, we can’t develop civilization. Our ancestors lived on nature, which provided basic life requirements, and they used natural resources to develop their own culture. Civilization starts with nature. From then until now, many cultures expands with plentiful natural resources. In sum, it seems that nature and humans are inseparable. Nature is our mother, and we have to treat it tenderly and thankfully. Nature is our family, so shouldn’t we protect it? Nature can create lives and destroy them. If humans continue to damage the nature, human’s selfishness will destroy them in the end.
BY ZHONG, WENCONG (鐘文聰)
Nature is our family, our parents. Humans are a part of nature, and like every other species on the plane, we depend on a healthy ecosystem for our survival. Nature provides us with essentials like clean water, food, medicine and light. A healthy ecosystem also helps regulate our weather and climate,
but the ecosystem is extremely fragile. Human beings’ progress,
particularly since the 19th century, has brought about severe damage to the Earth. Changing our behavior, preserving the Earth’s ecosystem and protecting our family are primary goals of all the human beings.
BY CHANG, YATING (張雅婷)
Nature is where human beings get living resources. Human is a part of nature, and so are other species. We depend upon a healthy ecosystem for our survival. Nature provides us with essentials like clean water, food, medicine, and even recreational retreats. But now, the ecosystem is extremely fragile. For instance, discharged sewage into the ocean yields a serious problem. It may make all aquatics polluted and even dead. Therefore, we should find a balance between food production and our environment. Right now, we should take action to protect our environment and change our life, so we will have a clean and beautiful place to live in the future.
BY WANG, MENGCHIEH (王孟婕)
Nature is very close to us. Even though you live in a city which is technological and industrial, nature is still surrounding you. What is nature?
The definition of nature is “all the creatures and all the natural
phenomena.” So the cloud in the sky, the leaves on the tree, the bugs under the ground, the sunset and the sunrise, and the way we live are all a part of nature. Many of us think that only those green plants are nature. In fact, we are nature. We live in nature and we are a part of nature. In sum, I think that nature is very close to us.
BY WU, PEIYU (吳珮妤)
Nature is a big family. Every human being has a strong connection with nature. Though we might not have to fight against other creatures for survival, nature still plays an important role in our life. Food chains are an example. We don’t have to fight or hunt to get food like our ancestors, but we still have to get food from nature. No matter how progressive our technology is, we can’t avoid having a connection with nature. In the case, we should live harmoniously with nature. Respect every life, have environmental consciousness, and don’t try to destroy our home. Since nature affects humanity a lot, everything we’ve done will come back to us. We should have a strong awareness that our life is closely related to nature. Protecting nature and having sustainable development are the biggest responsibilities that humans should take.
BY CHANG, KAILI (張愷俐)
Nature is the home to everything. Our ancestors came from nature, and they gave birth to us from generation to generation. We also make stuff from nature. The materials are from nature. We discover a variety of substances and manufacture them into something worthy. That’s how all kinds of commodities were born and will be born. For example, we made some farming tools out of wood and metal. When we combine our human intelligence with natural resources, it can always turn out to be something as useful as farming tools and or something more incredible. However, there are also some bad man-made products that pollute nature. We couldn't solve the pollution but keep producing it. Nature is hurt and doesn't look natural anymore. Humanity has overly developed it. Ironically, we always build up something evil from nature, which may destroy our Mother Nature itself.
BY HUANG, PIYUN (黃苾昀)
Nature is the thing that has a close relationship with human beings. We should strike a balance between nature and humanity. If we live in the lousy surroundings, we may encounter many problems. Nowadays, excessive development causes a vast decrease in the habitats. Wild animals fleeing to
the cities make traffic accidents. With the death rate rising, the
number of species reduces swiftly. What we should do immediately is establish a good relationship with nature. We often think humans are the best animals dominating the civilization. When we take pride in ourselves, the nature no longer tolerates what we do at the same time. It swallows back and brings disasters to us, including global warming, unregulated rainfalls, food shortage and famine. When can we really be concentrated on the crisis?
BY LO, HANYU (羅涵予)
Nature is a resource that is made use of by humanity incessantly. The humanity doesn’t stop developing the environment and using the resources in nature, which even causes natural disasters. We can find it in many events. Take the high exploitation in China for example. First, in China, there were fifteen lakes disappearing owing to the irrigation every year. The disappearing lakes led to a seriously rising level of water. Second, the previous grasslands became deserts, creating sandstorm problems. It not only affected the climate of China but also influenced the entire Southeast Asia.
BY CHUANG, MENGHSUN (莊孟勳)
Nature is not only great treasure but also our good friend. It consists of a lot of animals, plants, and the whole environment. Since the ancient time, human beings have kept taking the natural resources and using them to develop our industry. This made lots of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, which caused a lot of damage to the Earth. Take the ocean for example, the number of oceanic species has been decreasing sharply in the recent years due to our overfishing.
BY HSU, CHENRUI (許宸睿)
Nature is an environment. Not only human beings but also other species live on this beautiful planet. But now, more and more people develop resources without control. In the last few years, hypertechnologized oceans have contributed to the exploitation and also exhaustion of oceanic resources due to humanity’s greed. In my opinion, relying on the resources is reasonable, but we have to limit people’s overuse of natural resources, for example overfishing. After a good deal of contemplation, I strongly suggest that we should punish some people’s destruction to our planet in order to improve the problem that we are facing—an unregulated environment.
How does the industrial development interact with our
living environment
In the recent decade, the air quality of Taichung is growing worse due to the industrial development around the Dadu Plateau. Here are some shocking pictures comparing the basin in the smog and after the rain. What can we do to slow down the process toward the environmental crisis?

Environmental Sentimentalism
看見臺灣營造環境情感 培養環保使命珍愛臺灣What is sentimentalism?
“It is a tendency to base actions and reactions from emotions and feelings as opposed to reason. It also asserts that over-shown feeling is not a weakness. Instead, it shows one to be a moral person.”2
What is environmental sentimentalism?
“It is an ethical relation to the land, which exists with love, respect, and admiration. In particular, Chinese environmental sentimentalism develops with nostalgia and mourning over the damage to the harmonious relationship between humanity and nature (He, 2014).”1
Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above
“Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above is a 2013 documentary film that documents Taiwan completely in aerial photography. The film opened on November 1, 2013 at 44 theaters in Taiwan, with Chinese and English subtitles. The film broke the Taiwan box office records for the largest opening weekend and the highest total gross of a locally produced documentary. The film was nominated for Best Documentary and Best Original Film Score at the 50th Golden Horse Awards, winning the best documentary category.”3
What is the relationship between sentimentalism and
environment?
Beyond Beauty is a documentary about nature and culture. The author uses an unprecedented technique to record the scenery of Taiwan from the sky. Moreover, by using lots of beautiful scenes and a very native accent to edit the whole documentary, the author tries to call on how big the impact of the economic development on our environment has been. Taiwan has many spectacular scenes, but when more and more people migrated to Taiwan, the natural beauty has been destroyed on the march of the economic development. Our economy progresses faster and faster, while more and more environmental
issues have been brought on the news. Since we started to exploit our
country and make money from the industrial development, we have brought destruction to our homeland. Consequently, more and more people are now finally concerned about those issues, but their consciousness of environmental crisis is far not enough. The author tries to persuade many manufacturers not to simply care about their profits and then ignore how important it is to protect our land.
The film shows the original face of our country, which may lead people to recall the good old days and make comparison with the status quo. Taiwan used to be a beautiful island, but our ignorance has been destroying this amazing land and those stunning sceneries. Though humans are also a part of nature, many people still don’t have an environmental awareness. Economic development has made us forget how beautiful our hometown is. Undoubtedly, we should do something to save our own land. No matter how much it is going to cost, there are lots of precious memories connected to the land, so we can’t make our beautiful memories and the environment disappear.

Postcolonial Ecologies
研究後殖民與生態學議題 探討土地正義與環保問題What is Colonialism?
“Colonialism is the establishment, exploitation, maintenance, acquisition, and expansion of colony in one territory by a political power from another territory. It's a set of unequal relationships between the colonial power and the colony and often between the colonists and the indigenous population.”2
What is Postcolonialism?
“As a literary theory or critical approach, it deals with literature produced in countries that were once, or are now, colonies of other countries. It may also deal
with literature written in or by citizens of colonizing countries that takes
colonies or their peoples as its subject matter. Postcolonial theory became part of the critical toolbox in the1970s, and many practitioners credit Edward Said's book Orientalism as theory's founding work.”3
What are Postcolonial Ecologies?
“Place encodes time, suggesting that histories embedded in the land and sea have always provided vital and dynamic methodologies for understanding the transformative impact of empire and the anticolonial epistemologies it tries to suppress (Hauʹofa, 2008).”1
What is our interaction with nature?
In this project, we conducted discussion over the issue whether we agreed with the proposition that the Taiwan government should establish nature reserves in indigenous habitats. Here are some arguments from the affirmative side and the negative side.
For the negative, they claimed that the Taiwan government shouldn't establish nature reserves in indigenous habitats. If we establish nature reserves in indigenous habitats, we will slow down their development. Every single ethnic
group has the rights to develop their economy, regimen, transportation
and education. These rights can't be deprived by other ethnic groups in the name of environmental protection. In addition, indigenous people have their own culture and tradition. And they have rights to protect their own tradition. There's an organization named Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The declaration aims to protect the individual and collective rights of indigenous peoples, as well as their rights to culture, language and other issues. It also emphasizes the rights of indigenous people to maintain and strengthen their own culture and traditions. Therefore, the Taiwan’s government should protect the rights of indigenous peoples and cancel the policy of nature reserves.
For the affirmative, they advocate to establish nature reserves in indigenous habitats. First, nature reserves are more necessary and emergent. If we don’t reserve natural resources, our environment will be destroyed by all the citizens, including the local indigenes. Then, none of us will be alive. For example, human activities have placed great influences on the number of bees. Once the number of bees becomes lower, the fertility of plants will be a big problem. When the diversity of plants becomes lower, we will lose a variety of resources to use. Soon we humans will die out, and so does our culture. In fact, there were six events about the aborigines killing the protected species during 2015 in Taiwan. Those
animals were very uncommon and precious! Although the aborigines
killed the protected species by accident or for traditions, it should not be allowed, for the behavior of hurting the protected species would cause the extinction of animals and plants, leading to a lower genetic diversity.
To sum up, it’s hard to strike a balance between human development and environmental protection, but we still have to think a way to reach the goal of a win-win situation!
How do the advanced industries influence our community?
With the development of the Central Taiwan Science Park, the landscape in our neighborhood has undergone a dramatic change. What can we do as a local resident for the fading farmlands and the vanishing woods? How should we respond to the central administration and industrial corporations?

Urban Wilderness
都市荒野現生機 城市綠洲新生態What is urban wilderness?
Have you ever looked around your living neighborhood and found some strange places that are out of human’s control? For example, an old house is full of weeds and insects, and maybe a tall tree is growing there. Its roots and branches have destroyed the structure of the building. The house has already turned into a little jungle in the city. That is what we call a place of urban wilderness.
A typical example of urban wilderness is Anping Tree House. It used to be a warehouse of the Old Tait & Co. Merchant House in 1867 until Taiwan became a Japan’s colony. And then the Japanese reconstructed it to store their salt. It was
the warehouse of the Great Japan Salt Co., Ltd. for years. After WW2, it
was taken by Taiyen Biotech Co., Ltd. and was used to store their salt. Soon afterwards, it fell into disuse and was taken over by the banyan trees. Now, it is a famous tourist attraction. Lots of people visit Anping for its stunning appearance.
◤ Anping Tree House ◤ Old car in Nangang
(Source: http://synapticism.com/ )
Another example is a green car in the mountains of Nangang. The car is mossy. It’s also covered with branches and leaves. Someone might have abandoned it there for months or even for years. No one cares about it, so the plants cover all over it naturally, which makes it green and wild.
Another building is located on Ya-Tan Road in Taichung. It’s covered
with lots of leaves and grasses. Obviously, no one lives here anymore. The leaves have grown all over the broken wall. The building is not completed. Some windows fell down. Some walls collapsed, too. The tree grows in the cement ground with a tolerance of ground cover and thick undergrowth. The whole building looks dilapidated, but it is full of vitality.
Are you amazed by the tenacious vitality of nature? Those obsolescent spaces seem messy to some people, but they are the paradise to many creatures. What’s more, they are wonderful places for taking pictures! You can take a very romantic, literary and artistic, or gloomy picture there. Bring your camera and go find a place of urban wilderness beside you!
What are our ideas about urban wilderness?

between the ocean and human beings, such as human activities and the environment. With stories about fishermen’s struggling life, it shows us the true face of the ocean. It is beautiful, brutal, mysterious and changing. To promote the ocean literature, the author wrote this book in emotional and eager tones. His audiences are those who have an interest in ocean ecology.
The main character of this book is Mr. Wave. He is a classic, old fogy. He is really good at catching fish, and he once said, “The ocean is my life, my wife, my way and my home.”
The ocean is beautiful, and it can tell us what true love is. For example, there were a couple of fishes being caught, and they all wanted to save each other. The ocean was brutal, and it took away a young man’s life immediately. All the stories in the book are around love and life. If you respect the ocean, it will show its respect to you, too.
After reading this book, I think being a fisherman is dangerous, hard and difficult, but it is also attractive. You can see how much Mr. Liao loves the ocean in this book. All his words in the book are full of emotions. In conclusion, it is
worth reading for literature appreciation and environmental education. We can learn a lot from this book.

Old Seaman
Old Seaman is a book about some Tao relatives facing serious cultural shocks and failing to adapt themselves to their own tribe. They were isolated in Taiwan and their own island. The only place they felt comfortable was the ocean. They found who they really were in the deep blue ocean. The story was very wild and impressive. It actually taught me not to be afraid of being yourself.
LouMaBi Ke. They were all isolated in the island. Everyone in their tribe
thought they were weird. But they knew the ocean would not abandon them. They went to the ocean during the daylight, getting drunk at the midnight. AnLouMiEn was a troublemaker in the school. He thought no one could understand him.
His neighbor DaKaAn was isolated, too. They started to go fishing together and accompany each other. They found relief in the ocean. LouMaBiKe was an old man. He called himself the old fish man. He had an appointment with a girl in Taiwan, but his father did not agree with his plan. The lover couldn't be together anymore. Many years later, they met each other, but the woman had started a new family. The Taos and Hans had a big gap. Cultural shocks and misunderstandings led to this kind of tragedy.
After finishing this book, I felt very shocked and puzzled. Though it is getting easier to connect with the world nowadays, not all of the nationalities can adapt themselves to this rapidly changing world. The government should take good care of these people. Technology develops very fast, but we really should go back to our heart.

Looking for an Island
This book tells us that your dream is like an island which sinks in the deep sea and waits for you to find it. Because the author is a fisherman, he wants to introduce the beauty of the ocean to us. Therefore, he uses a humorous and joyful tone to introduce the ocean and turn it into a story.
In this story, the main character is a person who enjoyed making daydreams .He didn’t talk much, and usually was made fun of by others .He often dreamed that he swam on the roof. One day, he saw an island floating in the cloud. He wanted to reach the island, but he couldn’t arrive there. He felt very upset. However, after a big storm, he saw many islands under the sea. Suddenly, he understood one thing. If he wanted to reach the island, he must have a boat.
At last, he bought a boat and set out to find his own island.
Although you may encounter difficulties during the process of pursuing your dream, in the end, your dream will come true.

The Book of Lost Butterflies
The book is about butterflies which make people reflect on the environmental problems. The author thinks we should share the same position with other lives and claims that we can’t define other lives by money and benefits of humanity. Human beings don’t have the power to name other species without their ideas. They should take the same attitude of treating other species like other
people.
At first, the author wrote his first encounter with Leuconoe in a greenhouse not in a natural environment. He saw butterflies stranded in the cage and \ played by children. He realized butterflies were exhibited for human beings. Then, the author and his friend M were going to catch butterfly. However, the forest was developed into a playground. Humans damaged the environment for a more comfortable life.
The author said one day humans would be lonely and die because of sacrificing creatures. After that, the author with Larry visited L.K to see the chrysalis; however, it was already dead inside. The event presented not only that the strong one could survive but also that the competition between humanity and other creatures was cruel. In a word, the author claimed the value of life was not founded on the money or any benefit. He thought we should have the same position to understand other species. It would be the best way to live with the environment.
I think this book is very reflective. The most impressive example is Troides magellanue which is valued at ten NT dollars while a bowl of soup noodles is
forty NT dollars. Besides, it tells us if we treat a butterfly like a human, we
can feel more from other people. The author writes many examples, trying to tell humans the importance of attitude and emphasize the value of life.

The Track of the Butterfly
Although in the book, The Tack of the Butterfly, there are some parts talking about butterflies, insects, and even a little history, the book is mainly about the environment. The author talked about the experiences of seeing butterflies on his journeys to ponder the man-land relationship and the meaning of our life. To remember the things he had gone through and the questions which he once thought about, the author decided to write these things down. I
think the author not only wrote it for himself but also wanted the readers
to put themselves in any other creature’s shoes. The writer used a curios, skeptical tone to raise questions, telling us that we should stop being so selfish. One day when thinking of others, we’d change the environmental ethics centering on the standpoint of human beings.
In my opinion, the book can be separated into three parts. One is about the man-land relationship, another is about life, including human beings and animals, and the other is the record on what he saw and heard. In the first part, the author mentioned the Shilin Official Residence and Tanayiku to talk about whether “half wilderness” and “ecological park” could be considered natural or not. Second, the author used two chapters, The taste of the cherry and Death is a
danaus chrysippus, to make the readers to think about death. In the third part, he
described the trips he had gone on, writing down the questions he thought of. To sum up, the whole book is having us think more about our nature and the environment.
In the book, the author took Ayu for example. It became extinct because of the river pollution caused by human beings. However, biologists decided to
put another breed of Ayu into the river. The previous Ayu and the later
Ayu’s destiny were all controlled by humanity. Though we kept the fish in the river, was it good for us or for the environment? In conclusion, it’s really a great book for me to have a critical thinking lesson. It never occurred to me that human beings always use their own point to suppose what other animals are thinking or even controls their fates.

Love of the Sea
After reading this book, we can infer that the author liked his family and tribe very much, and they were facing the problem that his hometown was polluted. At first, he was working in Taiwan. Later, he went back to his tribe, trying to arouse
his clansmen’s awareness of protecting the environment.
In this book, the main character and also the author, Syaman Rapongan, loved the ocean, swimming and fishing. One night, he went out for fishing. When he came back, he was scolded by his family because of the superstition that if you went fishing at night, you might be caught by the evil spirits, even though the author just wanted to fish for his family. This tells us having a faith is good to a man, but when it becomes a superstition, it can change the original purpose of the faith. Another lesson we can learn from the book is that the aboriginal people were not rich, but they were satisfied with their life and environment, coexisting with the nature and respecting the creatures in the world. They were not rich, but there heart was rich. Even an island of gold and a mountain of diamond were not worth a fulfilled heart.

So Much Water So Close to Home
The author recorded all of the impressive things he discovered on those journeys he had been in the past four years. The content of the book includes not only the author’s impressions and reflections but also some histories and stories about the local culture. In fact, the book is written for those who are interested in our environment and make them pay more attention to the beauty of nature.
Through reading his book and the author’s eyes, I finally realize how diverse and magnificent Taiwan’s waterfronts are. There are so many rivers, lakes and the stunning sea, and all of them are flowing with their importance.
Recently, typhoons, floods and droughts have been more frequent
than they were before. We should pay more attention to protecting our environment, and thoroughly applying sustainable development is our urgent priority.

The Year of Happiness as an Intern in the Zoo
This is a book about a man inspired by his ex-girlfriend deciding to be an intern of Taipei Zoo. During the internship, except for caring animals, he listened to his coworkers telling the backstories of the animals in the zoo. They also shared with him their feelings, which was an educational experience for him.
Thai-jun was a college student about to graduate. His girlfriend
broke up with him because she didn’t want to idle her time with him. She was pursuing a higher dream. Even though the ex-girlfriend sounded mean, she did motivate him to consider his future. He grabbed the chance of being an intern in Taipei Zoo for his interest and specialty. When he was asking for the job, the interviewers questioned him why the zoo had existed for a long time even until now. He told them that the zoo was for people to tour. They required him to respond again after the internship.
Why should a zoo exist? Because it should be a place shortening the distance between human beings and other animals. We ought to be able to recognize every story behind those animals. Some animals came to a zoo because they lost their habitats. It was mostly because of human behaviors. We didn't treat the environment well. Two months later, he told the interviewers that when people got closer to these animals, people would saw them as friends and considered their situations before harming the environment.
He worked in different departments in the zoo during the internship and listened to different stories. Wild animals were sent to the Animal Medical Center
because of gin traps. There were more than 3,000,000 gin traps hidden in
Taiwan, but only a few of them had been found due to the loose enforcement of law. Also, here were at least a hundred abandoned African Spurred Tortoise conserved in the animal shelters while less than 5,000 of them were left in the original habitats. The tortoises were imported as pets. However, the masters abandoned them because of their long life and large bodies.
The zoo may sound warm and lovely, but there's also a story behind it. It is a shelter that keeps animals away from danger but also away from their home.

The Eyes of the Sky
In this book, I expect to see a fisherman get alone on the big ocean with much torture when struggling with marine creatures. A man on the small island and the change of the ocean made him generate countless imaginary thoughts. Another aspect behind is that it would make us fall into poverty or misfortune with greedy instinct. The aboriginal culture was overshadowed under the improvement of technology.
The initial part of the book is memorable. A man boarded a boat alone with much imagination about the sky and fish. It’s a story about humanity, oceans, death and love. The aboriginal people needed to know how to face the vast attack on their life.
In conclusion, the author wants to tell us the change of marine
surroundings and the decline of traditional cultures. It takes us to know another different world in a fisherman’s viewpoint.

The Dream and the Sea
In the beginning of the book, the author wrote a lot of generational memories with his grandfather. The author’s grandfather told how beautiful Lanyu was before the industrial pollution. Besides writing the story ruefully, the author also did a lot of exciting things on the ocean. He had participated in the distant sea fishery. The aspects of the ocean were very different from the past to the present. He wanted to appeal that living with the ocean was an interesting
thing and taking a gentle heart to live with other creatures was very
important. Written by a deep lover of the ocean, and for those without any feeling with the ocean, the author used a very concerned tone to write the book. He described his interesting trips of fishing and his partner’s relationship. Besides, he addressed the environmental protection by how much he loved the ocean.
In conclusion, the author used his trip experience to write his book. If you read the book, you will be unconscious, because the book is too attractive for you to put it down.

Super Granny from Qingdao: Ms. Meng’s Traditional Chinese Cuisines and Her Lifelong Story
遷徙流轉歲月 感懷鄉愁滋味
實中側門走出，公車站牌旁的巷弄中，暈暗燈光下矗立 50 多年的老店，相信實中的同學們 都不陌生。復興餐廳裡飄出的不只是眷村菜的香氣，更蘊藏著辛酸歲月的餘味。復興餐廳的老闆 娘是孟奶奶，現年 87 歲，老家在山東青島。1949 年，當年 19 歲的她孤身與姊姊隨著國軍來 臺，在基隆登岸，當時的他們十分窮困，唯一的財產是身上的破衣服，後來才定居大雅忠義里。 1954 年，當時忠義里是裝甲兵部隊進駐，居民全都很貧困。“當時我們都要自己用茅草蓋房子呢﹗”孟奶奶笑著說，從她微瞇起的雙眼看得出歲月的流逝。當時忠義里大多數婦女 都只靠著微薄的零工補貼家計，而孟奶奶所選擇的是賣早餐和麵食糊口度日。 靠著基本的油條、燒餅、還有家鄉味的水餃與麵食，26 歲的孟奶奶撐起了家庭重擔。“兩角 一碗陽春麵，四個水餃兩塊，豆干、滷蛋五毛錢啊！當時大家都很窮，所以價格都訂得很便 宜！” 孟奶奶憶起了往事，笑著說道，眼神流露著滿滿的感慨。從每天早晨千里迢迢到市區批 貨，到每晚夜深人靜時慢慢研究，孟奶奶的好手藝勾起了許多老兵記憶中的家鄉味，於是慢慢成 立了復興餐廳。當時的復興餐廳還只是間用泥巴砌成的矮房，後來逐漸發展成現在的模樣。 1960 年代，政府開始為這些老兵蓋房子，才形成所謂的「眷村」。孟奶奶說：「臺中中清 路上的貿易三村、九村也都是那時候蓋的眷村，那時候房子才開始變大。」那時的復興餐廳開始 變成紅磚房，有了招牌也有了口碑，也開始賣起菸酒雜貨，不變的是奶奶的好手藝與堅持。1970 年代，政府實施十大建設，許多工廠進駐大雅，也連帶影響了忠義里的發展。工廠進駐後工作機 會增加許多，年輕人不必到外地找工作。「我們這裡從那時候才開始變有錢的！」孟奶奶淡淡地 說。1980 年代，復興餐廳從磚屋變成樓房，也就是現在的模樣，每天絡繹不絕的客人，無論是 白髮蒼蒼的老兵、飢腸轆轆的學生，還是遠道而來的人們，無不被這充滿歷史回憶的菜色吸引。 奶奶笑著說自己還很元氣：「我除了膝蓋以外都很健康！只是炒菜勺子都彎了，手指也彎成不自 然的角度了，廚房炒菜的角落還被我站的都凹下去了呢。」奶奶開朗的笑容中，流露著民國時代 婦女的堅毅與倔強。現在的復興餐廳由奶奶的媳婦、孫女繼承，87 歲的奶奶每天坐在櫃檯邊，
用溫暖親切的山東口音招呼著客人。滿頭白髮的她用她的好手藝，見證歷史變革。眷 村菜裡飄散著不只是鄉愁，更是忠義里 50 多年來慢慢走過的痕跡。

Military History of Taiwan and China: Historical Sketches of Zhongyi Village in Taichung
戰後來臺歲月 新土重展勒性
1949 年，許多軍人單身或攜眷橫渡臺灣海峽，隨著國民政府退守臺灣。孟奶奶也是眷屬之 一，航途 7 天 7 夜，苦苦熬到臺灣後，上岸的過程也很辛苦，先換汽艇的交通工具，再從那艘汽 艇爬到岸邊，等到真正踏上陸地時，全身都以癱軟無力，嘴唇乾裂的像軟木塞，乾裂、浮腫，苦 不堪言。「剛從臺灣的基隆上岸，沒房子，衣服就身上穿的那件，都髒了、破了，可是基隆人都 好親切，還願意給個地方給我們睡，拿衣服給我們穿，真的很感動。」對於臺灣人在寒冬中伸手 相握，提供暫住之地，那份同胞之愛，讓孟奶奶至今猶刻骨銘心。1950 年，國民政府於金門古寧頭戰役後，重新編整裝甲部隊，設基地於清泉崗，促使當時公館新村的周圍，多數 是裝甲兵退役軍人自行建造的房舍，當時裝甲司令的默許，造成至今尚有數百戶占用空軍土地， 面臨可能被拆的命運。 當時軍人待遇不佳，眷村媽媽靠家庭代工，如婦聯會推廣「打髮網」副業，一個月約有 500 元收入，比薪水多。另外替阿兵哥洗衣服，也是穩定而重要的副業。眷村婦女說，夏天夜晚忠義 社區戶外，水聲伴著衣聲，騎樓下裝幾盞燈泡，便開始「營業」。孟婆婆含笑著說:「那時沒有 洗衣機，沒有洗衣粉，全靠蘇打肥皂來洗衣，由於鹼性過重，細緻潔白的雙手變得又腫又粗，幾 乎與身上的皮膚不相襯；偶而晚間當兵先生回家，他會協助攪拌衣服和脫水」
日臺美基地 未來何處去
忠義村，曾為日治時期日軍在臺灣中部大肚山，設置海軍航空隊「遠東地區第十三航空大隊 駐在基地」。1949 年開始，以日軍遺留的診療所八棟房舍，作為國民政府搬遷來臺空軍眷屬的 居住地，並以飛行場公館機場之名命名「公館新村」。1950 年古寧頭戰役後，國軍重新整編裝 甲部隊，將裝甲司令改編為裝甲兵旅，把原來的戰車團改編為四個總隊。 後來，在 1954 年再次整編，將裝甲兵旅再度改為裝甲兵司令部，第一總隊和第三總隊於清 泉崗駐紮。當時的司令為蔣緯國，曾經鼓勵清泉崗營區退休的軍官、士兵，自行於營區外圍選擇 空地成家，衍生成今日忠義社區主要的聚落。但是這個決定，卻成為忠義社區的一大阻礙，一個當初沒有規劃的村子，已是村民心中永遠的家，沒有地權也無法申請文化保護資產的
情況下，他們面臨被迫搬離的命運，無法保障身存權、居住權與土地所有權，違建─成為歷史的 共業。

Q：請問 6 號公車對於中科實中提供了什麼方便? A：由於中科實中座落的位置沒有在市中心，用另外一種話來說，就是中科實中的位置跟其他學 校相較之下，經過我們學校交通路線的公車不多，所以它是平常中科實中學子們上放學的一條重 要路線之一，它的行經路線很廣，因為這一班公車，給了我們不少的便利性；也有不少的住宿 生，利用放學時間，到距離學校最近的消費食物圈─六張犁，買晚餐之類的也是利用這班公車。Q：6 號公車跟 500 號公車差不多一樣，那這樣子為什麼還是會有此路公車呢？ A：這班公車的發車頻率跟時間相較之下都只有在眾人上下班或上放學才會在路上行 駛，也就是說它只有在尖峰時段才有發車，來舒緩尖峰時段內 6 號公車的人潮。此外，它所經過 的站數也比 6 號公車還要少，所以此班路線的速度會比 6 號公車還要快。

學生 王孟婕 什麼才是英文呢？對我來說，英文本來只是一個學科，一個要常應付的考試，除了在考卷上 使用，我就鮮少碰到它了。但自從加入了英專之後，我也開始產生了英文真是一個好用的工具的 想法。當初想加英專，僅僅是因為老師在講台上全英文介紹課程，我一個字也聽不懂。總覺得英 專好像很厲害的樣子，就迷迷糊糊地填下去了。結果，第一堂課悲劇就來了，還真的是一個字也 聽不懂！在認知到原來自己英文這麼爛後我不禁陷入了小小的低潮，但俗話說：「堅持下去，就 是你的！」在一整年英專的摧殘後，相信一定能有所進步的，所以我還是厚著臉皮繼續跟著一群英文學霸上課。雖然一開始真的超級痛苦，但隨著時間過去，我竟然也能自在地站在 臺上，用英文跟同學報告，還有看好幾本全英文的小說。我甚至不怕死地參加了英文研習營還有 英語辯論賽，雖然沒有贏，但其實也差不多啦？總之這些是我以前作夢也不敢想的事，一年能讓 人成長多少？一年又能讓人蛻變成什麼樣子？現在的我雖然英文仍不是頂尖的，但跟高一的自己 相比，我必須說這一年很充實，還好我有報名英專。之後的課程還沒結束，英文這條漫長的路也 還沒有盡頭，努力下去，高三的我回頭看著現在的足跡時，一定也能產生「這麼努力過，真是太 好了」的感觸吧。 學生 張鈞皓 上學期英文專題已經是我的第二學期的專題課，從這當中我覺得英文程度雖然不是馬上就有 顯著的差異，不過在老師的敦敦教導之下，我覺得正在逐漸成長。上學期學到了許多在一般的課 堂上學不到的東西，像上學期曾經學到的都市野性／後殖民／批判性思考的讀書心得之類的，這 是一個非常有趣的課程，有趣的地方在哪裡呢？我們透過老師示範做的簡報中看到了許多平常生 活周遭看不到的東西，精彩的地方在後頭，接下來的專題時間就換我們自己去找資料，做一個簡 報來報告老師給我們的作業，有時候在臺上報告自己簡報的時候，突然來了一個文法錯誤，當下 自己講的時候就還蠻尷尬的，同學也都笑笑的，但是老師私下地教我文法的使用方法，這對英文 寫作有不少的幫助。在這個學期的時候，我們開始要做一篇雜誌來介紹我們的學校，於是我們在
