While the habits of coffee consumers provide plenty of anecdotal evidence suggesting the metabolization of caffeine is a matter of the individual, researchers have dug deeper to single out an individual gene that appears to affect consumption volume en masse.

Tracking the habits of two coffee-drinking study groups—including more than 1,200 people from two regions of Italy, and more than 1,700 people from the Netherlands—researchers believe people 21 a variation in a gene called PDSS2 tend to drink fewer cups of coffee.

The reason is the genetic variation reduces the ability of the cells to break down caffeine, causing it to remain in the body for longer, 22 reducing the compulsion to drink more, according to the research,published last week in Scientific Reports.

According to the study, in which respondents were asked to report on their daily consumption habits, the genetic variation 23 approximately one less cup of coffee consumed per day, a remarkably high volume considering the breadth of global consumption.

“The results of our study add to 24 research suggesting that our drive to drink coffee may be embedded in our genes,” said one of the study authors, Dr. Nicola Pirastu of the University of Edinburgh’s Usher Institute. “We need to do larger studies to confirm the discovery and also to clarify the biological 25 between PDSS2 and coffee consumption.” Indeed, more lab works are necessary to provide evidence.

四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】

Two metallurgists at Stanford University, seeking to produce a “superplastic” metal, appear to have stumbled on the secret of Damascus steel, the legendary material used by numerous warriors of the past, including the

Crusaders. Its formula had been lost for generations. Analyses of steel by Jeffrey Wadsworth and Oleg D. Sherby, in their search for a highly plastic form, revealed properties almost identical to those they then found in Damascus steel, though their own plastic steel had been produced through contemporary methods.

The remarkable characteristics of Damascus steel became known to Europe when the Crusaders reached the Middle East, beginning in the 11th century. They discovered that swords of this metal could split a feather in midair, yet retain their edge through many a battle with the Saracens. Through the ages, perhaps from the time of Alexander the Great in the fourth century B.C., the armorers who made swords, shields and armor from such steel were rigidly secretive regarding their method. With the advent of firearms, the secret was lost and never fully rediscovered.

Dr. Wadsworth and Dr. Sherby realized that they might be on the track of the method when a sword fancier, at one of their presentations, pointed out that Damascus steel, like their own product, was very rich in carbon. This led them to conduct comparative analyses of their steels and those of the ancient weapons. When moderately heated, superplastic steel can be shaped into such complex forms as gears for an automobile, with minimal need for machining, leading to major economies in manufacture. Their research has shown how to make steel even more

A basic requirement, as suspected by a number of early metallurgists, is a very high carbon content. Dr.

Wadsworth and Dr. Sherby believe it has to be from 1 to 2 percent, compared to only a fraction of 1 percent in ordinary steel. Another key element in Damascus blade production seems to have been forging and hammering at relatively low temperature, about 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit. After shaping, the blades were apparently reheated to about the same temperature, then rapidly cooled, as by quenching in a fluid.

【1】26. What is the passage mainly about?

 Offering an answer to the making of Damascus steel.

 Introducing varieties of Damascus steel in different ages.

 Arguing for a better method to produce modern weapons.

 Comparing the differences between two metallurgic methods.

【2】27. Which of the following statements regarding Damascus steel is true?

 The method of producing Damascus steel will never be found.

 Damascus steel contains larger amount of carbon than ordinary steel.

 Keys made from Damascus steel need to be reheated at higher temperature.

 Damascus steel has been used in manufacturing automobile parts for decades.

【3】28. Why are the Crusaders mentioned in the second paragraph?

 Because they secured their borders after fighting with the Saracens.

 Because they learned a skill to cut a feather into two halves in midair from the Europeans.

 Because they introduced Damascus steel in the Middle East to the European world.

 Because they found a method to produce Damascus steel when battling in the Middle East.

【3】29. What does the word amenable in the third paragraph refer to?

 Economical.

 Fractional.

 Flexible.

 Delicate.

【2】30. According to the passage, who are Wadsworth and Sherby?

 They are metallurgical historians revealing the background of producing Damascus swords.

 They are metallurgists at Stanford University attempting to produce durable or plastic steel.

 They are warriors in modern America, who still used Damascus swords in daily-life business.

 They are crusaders of metallurgy trying to discover ways of making better weapons.

Coca-Cola is taking the “millennial narcissism” culture to the next level with a new gadget that lets consumers

snap selfies while sipping its soda. The firm has unveiled a custom designed “selfie bottle” complete with a built-in

camera at the base. It uses sensors to take pictures when the bottle is tilted past a 70-degree angle capturing you

mid-drink. All the images captured by the gadget, created for the firm’s latest advertisement campaign, are

automatically shared to Coca-Cola’s Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. Coca-Cola Israel is the mastermind behind
