〈七個牛奶壺〉 —Synopsis by Meagunn Hart
〈七個牛奶壺〉的作者薩基（ Saki ）本名為赫克 托•休•芒羅（Hector Hugh Munro, 1870–1916）， 是一名擅長調侃保守社會的英國作家，常以叛逆或愛惡 作劇的主角來嘲諷當時的社會。
Hector Hugh Munro, who wrote under the pseudonym S a k i , wa s a w i t t y B r i t i s h author who sat irized the conventions and hypocrisies of Edwardian England. His humorous short stories often reveal and mock the pettiness and self-importance of the upper-class members of his society. In “The Seven Cream Jugs,” the Pigeoncotes, who are por trayed as typical representatives of high society, allow their prejudice to get the better of them when they are visited by a cousin who had intended to gift them a silver cream jug for their 25th wedding anniversary. The story makes it clear that we should not judge others if we can’t accept being judged ourselves. 1. Have you ever made an assumption about someone that turned out to be false? 2. If you make a mistake, should you own up to it? 翻譯請見第 63 頁

Perhaps no sweet treat is more representative of Italian cuisine than tiramisu, a rich dessert made with ladyfinger biscuits that have been soaked in espresso coffee, layered with mascarpone cheese, and topped with a generous dusting of cocoa powder. Tiramisu literally means “pick me up,” probably because of its two caffeine-containing ingredients, coffee and cocoa. Whether this dessert’s popularity is due to its invigorating effect or its delicious combination of flavors, tiramisu is now a global phenomenon. It even made its way into space in 2013, when the Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano took the dessert to share with his fellow crew members aboard the ISS. 翻譯請見第 65 頁

A Tale of Two Steaks: Porterhouse vs. T-bone The T-bone and porterhouse are steaks cut from the short loin. Both have a T-shaped bone in the center with meat on either side. Porterhouse steaks are cut from the back of the short loin and thus have more tenderloin and a larger strip steak. T-bone steaks, on the other hand, are cut from the front of the short loin and thus contain less tenderloin. 翻譯請見第 65 頁

Sentence Patterns
1. do sb good 對（某人）有益 good 在此作名詞，表示「益處；好處」，good 前面常 用 much、a lot of 或 some 等來表達不同程度。 t Turn off the computer and go outside—a little exercise will do you good.
Another false belief is that since vitamins and minerals promote health, the more we take, the better off we’ll be.
關掉電腦到外面去——做點運動將對你有好處。
2. come/spring/leap to mind ……浮現腦 海；突然想起……
請見課文第 13 行
解析
1.
the + 比較級 + S. + V., the + 比較級 + S. + V. 越…… ，就越……
此片語通常以事物為主詞，動詞 come 可用 spring 或 leap 代替； spring（三態為 spring–sprang/ sprung–sprung）和 leap（三態為 leap–leaped/ leapt–leaped/leapt）皆表示「跳躍」。
此為雙重比較級的句型，表示「越……就越……」，若主詞未 指定對象且動詞為 be 動詞時，可省略主詞和 be 動詞，例 如 The sooner, the better.（越快越好）。
t Nothing sprang to mind when the teacher asked if we had any questions.
t The sooner you finish your chores, the more time you’ll have to relax.
老師問我們是否有任何問題時，我們什麼也沒想到。
你越快完成雜事，就有越多時間可以放鬆。
3. at best 充其量；頂多
若要比較數量，可用形容詞比較級來修飾名詞，可數 名詞用 more 或 fewer ，不可數名詞則用 more 或 less。
at worst 最糟的情況是（文中第 49 行） at best 作副詞，用來表示「即使在最樂觀的情況下得到 的結果；往好的方面來看」，而 at worst 則指相反的情
t The more money Tim makes, the more he spends. 提姆賺越多錢，他就花得越多。
況，意思是「往壞的方面來看、最壞的情況」。
t This treatment is ineffective at best and dangerous at worst. 這項治療充其量是無效，最糟的情況則會有危險。

(A) My aunt and uncle own a vineyard, so of course I had to spend a little time here. Besides, I really wanted to see the palace—and I’m glad I did. It’s spectacular! I just wish I knew more about art history so I could’ve better appreciated the beautiful fresco above the staircase. (B) I spent most of the day admiring the bright yellow buildings in the housing complex—they were simply beautiful. And the guide explained that current residents pay only around a dollar each year to live there! Apparently, the rate hasn’t changed since the complex was established five centuries ago. (C) I climbed the church tower in the middle of town because I thought it would offer a good view of the city wall. Once I was at the top, another tourist pointed out the edge of a meteor crater in the distance. Apparently, the meteor struck the area millions of years ago, and the town was built near the center of the crater. That’s crazy!
(D) The old town here was incredible! I felt like I had been transported back in time as I wandered through the cobblestone streets. I’d love to live in a place with this much history behind it. One day, perhaps. (E) I came here mainly to see the castle on the hill near the village. It’s one of the oldest in Germany! I decided to stay the night because, well, how often am I going to be able to stay in a castle? But there wasn’t much to do in the village, so I decided to continue south the next day. (F) Arriving here was bittersweet, as it meant that my trip was at an end. But it was a beautiful place to relax. I spent a lot of time here drinking coffee and looking out over the nearby Alps, thinking about everything I had seen and experienced during my trip. (G) This was definitely the highlight of the trip! The castle was absolutely magical—like something out of a fairy tale. I’m so glad that I booked the all-day tour! I could’ve spent a week wandering among the palace rooms there. The only downside was that there were so many tourists—but it’s easy to understand why.

This opportunity is too good to pass up. You should definitely take advantage of it. 這個機會太好了，不容錯過。你一定要善加利用它。
Give it a go/try! What do you have to lose? 試試看吧！你有什麼好損失的？
令人氣餒的消息 表示「拒絕、拒收」， 你不能因為幾次退稿就打退堂鼓。 在此指「退稿」 You can’t pack it in just because of a few rejections. 為口語用法，表示「放棄、停止做某事」 47

You can catch up on sleep. Have you ever stayed in bed until noon on the weekend to “make up for” your lack of sleep during 10
the week? Unfortunately, our bodies just don’t work that way. And in fact, too much sleep at once will actually make you feel more tired. What your body needs is a consistent3 eight hours of sleep per night. So instead of binging◆ on sleep once a week, adjust your

schedule to ensure you get enough rest on a regular basis.
We use only 10 percent of our brain. 35

t I’ve got a lot of work to catch up on this weekend. 我這個週末要趕做很多的工作。
face value 指「（郵票或硬幣的）面值」，take/accept sth at face value 字面意思是「以面值接受……」，表 示「僅憑表象就對某事信以為真」，亦常用被動語態 sth be taken/accepted at face value 表示。 t Raymond often exaggerates, so don’t take everything he says at face value. 雷蒙常誇大其詞，所以不要對他說的每件事都信以為真。
catch up on sth / with sb 瞭解近況；與某人 敘舊

✤ 請依本文所學片語，譯出正確通順的英文。 1. 試著培養批判性思考的能力，而不要把閱讀的所有內容都信 以為真。
2. make up for sth 彌補、補償…… 此片語用來表示「做某事來彌補傷害或補償損失」， for 之後可接 N./V-ing。
t What can I do to make up for having forgotten about your birthday? 我可以做什麼來彌補忘記你的生日呢？
3. the tip of the iceberg 冰山一角

iceberg [ `a6s~b-g ] 指「冰山」，以字面意思「冰山一 角」來形容某件事只是問題的一小部分，實際上問題涵 蓋的層面更大。
Three houses in that area have been broken into recently, _____________________________________.
t These complaints are most likely just the tip of the iceberg. 這些抱怨很可能只是冰山一角。
否定字首 un-、in-、mis- 的差別

un- 不；相反的；缺少的 indigestible vs. undigestible indigestible 和 undigestible 都 可表示「難以消化的」和「無法消化 的」，大多數的情況下兩字可互換， 但 indigestible 用途更廣，還可以指 「東西難吃並不好消化」。
可加在形容詞、名詞或副詞前 來構成否定。亦可加在動詞前 表示「反轉、相反的狀態」。
表否定的字首 un-、in-、mis-
uncertain adj. 不確定的 unfairness n. 不公平 unfortunately adv. 不幸地 unlock v. 解開、釋放
indefinite adj. 不明確的
immature adj. 不成熟的
irresponsible adj. 不負責任的

之後接 b、m、p 時會同 化為 im- ；接 r 時會同化為 ir-；接 l 時則同化為 il-。
接在動詞或名詞之前。表 否定意思的字前面再加上 mis- 是用來加強語氣，如 misdoubt（懷疑的態度）。
misinformation n. 錯誤資訊、假消息
misbehave v. 行為不端；舉止失禮
misunderstand v. 誤會、誤解

除了 busy 之外，還可以怎麼表達忙碌呢？本期「學校沒教的生活英語」要介紹形容 「忙得不可開交」的各種說法，快點學起來吧！
EASY BREEZY ENGLISH
ow why Hey, do you kn such a in n ee Cindy’s b week? bad mood this
Yeah, she has a lo plate at the mom t on her en give her some sp t. Just ace.
麼 辛 蒂 這 禮拜 嘿，你知道為什 ？ 心情這麼不好嗎
知道啊，她現在忙 得不可開交。 就給她一些空間吧 。
have a lot on one’s plate 字面意思是「某人的盤 子上堆滿許多食物」，用食物來比喻待辦事項，引申 形容某人「忙得不可開交；自顧不暇」。
其他形容忙碌的說法：
be tied up 指「被綑綁住」，用來形容忙碌到分身乏術，無法 離開工作崗位。 用「被白雪覆蓋」的意象來形容被忙碌的工作壓得喘不過氣來。
I won’t be able to make it to your party this weekend— I’m snowed under with work. 我這個週末無法參加你的派對——我正為工作忙得焦頭爛額。
我很抱歉沒有回電給你。我整個早上都在忙著開會而分身乏 術。
說到河狸（beaver [`biv0]），總會讓人聯想到牠忙著修築堤
字面意思是「雙手滿滿都是……」，意即手上有太多任務而忙
壩的可愛畫面，因此常用 beaver 來形容勤奮工作的人。be
得不可開交。
(as) busy as a beaver 形容「忙得團團轉」，beaver 也可 用同樣有勤奮形象的 bee 替換。
I have my hands full with this project, so I can’t take on anything else right now.
Sheryl has been as busy as a bee this summer vacation.
這個企劃案讓我忙得不可開交，所以現在無法接手其他的事。

4 TUE 皮鈞科特夫婦接到表親威爾弗里德要開車來訪一晚的消 息時，他們變得焦慮起來。威爾弗里德在皮鈞科特家族中 是一個常見的名字──叫這個名字的表親有軍人、外交官 和尊貴的紳士。然而，就他們所知，只有一個威爾弗里德 有車，而眾所皆知他是個小偷。 他的來訪是個問題，因為皮鈞科特夫婦正在慶祝結婚 二十五週年紀念，因此，到處都擺著許多昂貴的禮物。其 中最貴重的就是包含七個牛奶壺在內各式各樣的銀製餐 具。 威爾弗里德抵達時，皮鈞科特夫婦禮貌地迎接他，並邀 請他坐下來享用晚餐，但閃閃發亮的銀製品早已吸引了他 的目光。用完餐後，他接著仔細檢視每一件物品，他每碰 一件物品都引起了皮鈞科特夫婦的懷疑。
German Election Sees Shift Away from Conservatives 德國大選保守勢力敗退 3 MON 德國二○二一年九月大選執政黨基民盟十六年來首次以 些微差距失去多數席位。在這場選舉中社民黨獲得最多選 票，結束了基民盟的長期統治，基民盟近年來的成功部分 歸功於領導人安格拉．梅克爾總理屹立不搖的人氣。 德國選舉後通常要組新的聯合政府。協商可能需要好幾 個月，尤其是當選舉將大多數的席位給了較小的政黨時， 就如九月大選的情況。只有等組好聯合政府，德國聯邦議 院才會投票選出新總理。 德國的新總理將難以超越前任的表現。過去十六年間， 梅克爾總理領導德國（歐洲最大的經濟體），臨危不亂度過 許多次的歐洲和全球危機。在任期期間，她處理過歐債危 機、歐洲的移民危機、英國脫歐以及新冠肺炎大流行。她 在壓力下的治理能力讓她不僅在德國也在世界各地成為最 受尊敬的政治人物之一。
Reading Comprehension 解答 1. A
威爾弗里德去洗澡後，皮鈞科特夫婦決定查看他的手提 箱看有沒有贓物，而在箱子裡他們發現衣服內放著一個銀 製的牛奶壺。皮鈞科特太太心想這真是威爾弗里德的典型 行為，便把這個牛奶壺和其他的壺放在一起。
5 WED 隔天早上，威爾弗里德帶著複雜的情緒下樓吃早餐：懊 惱無法送週年紀念禮物給皮鈞科特夫婦、因為打算送的禮 物又是一個牛奶壺而感到尷尬、以及擔心傭人中可能有小 偷。當他解釋他帶來的禮物如何從手提箱中不翼而飛時， 皮鈞科特夫婦突然想到這個表親不是那位愛偷竊的威爾弗 里德，而是品德較高尚的威爾弗里德——或許就是當外交 官的威爾弗里德。 在一陣匆忙的搜尋後，不見的禮物「被找到」和其他餐 具在一起（現在包含了八個而非七個牛奶壺）。這對夫妻起 初指責威爾弗里德忘記自己把禮物拿下來了──威爾弗里 德對此強烈否認。不過皮鈞科特太太很快就想到一個更可 信的理由。她偷偷地把威爾弗里德拉到一旁並表達歉意， 解釋說皮鈞科特先生和他們惡名昭彰的表親有同樣的缺 點。 威爾弗里德離開時雙方沒有交惡，皮鈞科特夫婦也平安 無事地度過週年紀念。然而，皮鈞科特先生永遠無法理解 的是，為什麼從那時起他們所有的客人去洗澡時都會隨身 帶著貴重物品。

Tidy House, Tidy Mind: The Art of Decluttering 斷捨離的藝術 6 THU 我們都聽過「少即是多（編注：一種追求簡約、單純 的美學或哲學態度）」這句話，就我們個人空間來說，這 句話再準確不過了。事實上，研究顯示凌亂的家對我們 健康會有重大的影響，因為雜亂會增加我們的壓力和焦 慮程度，並且降低我們的專注力。 一個尤其明顯的地方是臥室，一般人會花大約三分之一 的時間在這裡。當你的休息區域塞滿太多東西時，你的思 緒就無法放鬆、進入平靜的睡眠。你會發現，如果你把堆 在房間四周的零星雜物清除乾淨，你就可以更容易得到那 些急需的睡眠。 另外一個需要保持整潔的地方是工作場所。人類大腦 偏好井然有序，而雜亂無章的桌子會把你的注意力分散 在工作和周遭環境的狀態之間。因此，相較於在整潔的 環境中，你會更快消耗你的認知資源。如果你經常發現 自己處在這些狀態下，那麼該是改變你行為的時候了。
7 FRI 既然你瞭解收拾能帶來的改變，就讓我們深入了解一些 經過檢驗的作法來整頓你的家。近年來大家最熟知的其中 一個整理術就是近藤麻理惠（來自日本的一位世界知名的 整理顧問）的怦然心動整理法。她的方法著重在留下能引 起愉悅的物品並將其他的捨棄。 那聽起來很簡單，但你應該從哪裡著手？麻理惠建議依 照類別而非房間來逐步清理你的家。舉例來說，如果你從 衣服開始整理，就把所有衣服從收納的各個地方都收集起 來，然後全部一起將它們進行分類。這幫助你確切瞭解自 己保留了多少多的物品，並讓減少收藏變得更簡單。 近藤也建議獨自清理，這樣別人就不會在你旁邊，而讓 你在丟掉不想要的禮物之類的東西時感到過意不去。另外 一個重要的訣竅是：記住你的家應該尊重現在的你而非曾 經的你，好讓自己擺脫丟棄物品時的罪惡感。要是你還猶 豫不決，只要提醒自己，讓你的空間充滿珍貴物品的感覺 會是多麼美好！

Listening Test 解答 Questions 1 and 2 are based on the following passage. For the perfect steak, follow these simple tips. First, choose a high-quality cut of meat. You can’t do much with poor ingredients. Personally, I recommend a nice thick rib eye. Second, make sure the meat has been out of the fridge for at least one hour before you cook it. If it’s not at room temperature, it won’t cook evenly. Third, generously coat the meat in salt and pepper before placing it in your pan. Fourth, cook the steak over a medium-high heat. You’ll want to brown it nicely on each side before turning the heat down slightly. Fifth, once you’ve browned the steak, add some butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan and spoon the mixture over the steak, turning it every two minutes until it’s done. Finally, let the steak rest for around five minutes before you serve it. Letting the meat rest will make it juicier and tastier. Then all that’s left to do is enjoy your perfect steak.

服用維生素和礦物質可以均衡不良飲食。 有些人認為每天服用補充品能彌補不健康的飲食。然而， 事實並非如此。雖然補充品可以補救我們飲食中的某些不 足，卻無法避免，比方說，吃太多垃圾食物所引起的健康
問題。所以無論你是否服用補充品，都要確保你的飲食均 衡且營養。 補充品不會造成傷害。 另一個錯誤的看法是，由於維生素和礦物質可以促進 健康，我們攝取越多就會越健康。但過量攝取某些維生素 像是 A、D、E 和 K，它們會留在我們體內很長一段時間， 實際上可能會引起中毒。而大量的鐵和鋅會導致胃痛、噁 心和許多其他問題。為了避免這些問題和其他令人不快或 有損健康的影響，請注意建議的每日劑量，或者在決定服 用補充品之前和醫師談一談。
12 WED 服用維生素 C 來對抗感冒。 我們以前都聽過這個建議——感冒時攝取大量維生素 C 以加速復原。的確，維生素 C 可以提升免疫系統，且有助 於預防感染和縮短康復時間。然而，如果你已經感冒了， 這對你就沒有太大幫助。所以，如果你想獲得維生素 C 的 益處，不要等到生病後才開始攝取。 單單鈣就可以讓你的骨骼強健。 當我們想到骨骼健康第一個浮上腦海的礦物質就是鈣。 事實上，年長者（尤其是女性）常被建議要攝取鈣質補充品 來保護骨骼。但要讓鈣發揮功效，它需要被身體吸收，而 這就是維生素 D 發揮作用的時候。維生素 D 幫助鈣質吸 收，而這種營養素最好的來源就是陽光。要有健康的骨骼， 就要有足夠的鈣——和陽光。 不當使用補充品充其量是削弱其正面效用，而最糟的情 況則會危害我們的健康。那就是為什麼在我們開始將它們 作為例行公事前要獲得專家建議重要的原因。

Time Zones: A Cycle of Problems and Solutions 認識時區的歷史與趣聞 20 THU 在過去，測定時間是以太陽為基礎。太陽升到最高點時， 城鎮就將時鐘設定為正午，而其東部與西部其他城鎮的時 間則稍微不同。但隨著鐵路的出現，這種測定時間的方法 造成調度上的一大難題。每一站的時間都在改變時，該如 何安排火車發車時間呢？
紐西蘭創作歌手埃拉．瑪麗亞．拉妮．葉利奇—奧康 納（更為人所知的是叫做蘿兒）在二○一三年推出首支 單曲〈貴族〉時年僅十六歲。該曲銷售一千萬個單位， 並讓她在國際上一舉成名。自那時起，她繼續成功的音 樂生涯並成為她的世代的代言人。
一 八 七 九 年， 蘇 格 蘭 裔 的 加 拿 大 工 程 師 暨 發 明 家 史 丹佛．佛萊明爵士提出了一個解決這個問題的方法：全 球時區系統。佛萊明推斷，由於地球每二十四小時旋轉 三百六十度，它可被劃分為二十四個一小時的時區，每 個時區占十五度經度。史丹佛的系統於一八八四年在國 際上被採用。
表演是蘿兒與生俱來的。中學時，她贏得了多場演講 比賽並和一位朋友組成音樂二重唱。他們在學校的才藝 表演中拔得頭籌，並受邀在當地的一個廣播節目中演出。 他們的廣播表演引起一名環球音樂集團高階主管的注 意，他看出了蘿兒的潛力。在二○○九年簽下年僅十二 歲的蘿兒後，他雇用一名聲樂教練來給她上歌唱課。之 後，她和一名製作人搭檔，後者幫她發行一張迷你專輯 和首張錄音室專輯，即大獲成功的《天生英雌》。
理論上，全世界現在被整齊地劃分為二十四個均等的 時區。然而，實際情況更複雜一些。大多數國家只用經 線作為粗略指南，而是選擇用州界或國界來劃分時區。 中國和印度是極端的例子，都只有一個時區跨越各自的 國家！西班牙甚至為了象徵性的理由：為了展現與政治 盟友 團結一致而更改時區。所有這些都意味著在某些地 方，時間並非由太陽在天空的位置決定的。
在蘿兒接下來的計畫中，她為《飢餓遊戲：星火燎原》 演唱電影原聲帶並替《飢餓遊戲：自由幻夢 I》的電影原 聲帶錄製了四首歌曲。她的第二張錄音室專輯《狂想曲》 充分展現出她作為詞曲創作人的成長，也獲得了葛萊美 年度專輯的提名。
21 FRI
19 WED 蘿 兒 一 直 以 來 也 很 常 對 環 保 和 社 會 議 題 發 聲。 二 ○ 一九年，她前往南極洲了解氣候變遷的影響。之後她出 版了一本記錄她的旅程的攝影書，並寫了一篇描述其經 歷的文章，敦促讀者協助保護地球。 去年夏天，蘿兒在發行第三張錄音室專輯《日光》後一 個月，推出了一張名為《Te Ao Mārama》的姊妹版迷你 專輯，裡面收錄五首來自《日光》並重新以毛利語（紐西 蘭原住民語言）錄製的歌曲。藉由這張迷你專輯，蘿兒 不只想在毛利語週的盛會中讚揚毛利人，也想提倡毛利

人的古老文化，它已因現代化而逐漸式微。「在製作一張 關於我出生地的專輯時」，蘿兒在給粉絲的一份聲明中寫 道，「對我來說重要的是能夠表達：這讓我們成為在這裡 的自己。」
鐘錶時間與太陽時間之間的差異會導致睡眠和生產力的 問題。例如，在西班牙自二戰以來就將時鐘設定為歐洲中 部時間，生理時鐘和牆上的時鐘就不同步。結果，許多西 班牙人每晚損失將近一個小時的睡眠時間。根據一份二○ 一三年的報告，西班牙的時區對曠工、壓力、與工作相關 的意外事故，以及輟學率等生產力指標造成負面影響。 類似的問題在印度也存在。該國從東邊到西邊綿延三千 公里，橫跨約三十度經度。因此，在東部日出和日落的時 間比在西部早了大約兩小時。位於東部的阿薩姆邦，夏天 時太陽早在早上四點半升起，而冬天時約下午四點落下。 這些異常的時間表示阿薩姆邦的居民很多白天時間在睡 覺，而天黑的時間卻醒著，付出的經濟代價很大。 近年來，一直在推動要將西班牙恢復成適當的時區。同 樣地，在印度有團體試著說服政府採用另一個時區。提倡 者認為這些改變可以帶來更好的睡眠習慣與提升工作者的 生產力。會有用嗎？只有時間能證明一切了。

M: For Questions 6 and 7, you’ll listen to a conversation. W: I wonder if you could help me. I’m looking for a gift for my mom. It’s her birthday next week. M: How wonderful! Well, we have quite a selection of rings and necklaces. And we recently launched a new line of charm bracelets, which has been very popular. W: I was thinking it might be nice to get her a pair of earrings. M: Excellent—just follow me to this display case over here. Do you know if she prefers gold or silver? W: Silver, definitely. And she likes pearls. M: Hmm. Unfortunately, our range of pearl earrings is quite small. But we have a catalogue you can browse through if you don’t see anything you like here. It’s got a much larger selection. W: Actually, that might not be necessary. These ones are really nice. Can I take a closer look at them? M: Certainly. M: Question 6 M: What does the woman want to buy? M: Question 7 M: What does the man offer to show the woman? M: For Questions 8 and 9, you’ll listen to a conversation. M: Have you decided on a major yet? W: No, not yet. I’m actually considering taking a year off after high school to do some traveling and work a little. M: A gap year? But aren’t you worried that you’ll be a year behind everyone else if you do that? W: Not really, no. I’m more worried about picking the wrong major. How am I supposed to decide what I want to do for a living when I have so little life experience? M: I guess you make a good point. Well then, what are you thinking about doing for your gap year? W: Ideally, I’d spend some time in Europe. There are lots of amazing museums and historic buildings that I’d like to visit there. M: Yeah, I can see that. You’ve always been interested in art and history. W: Exactly. I’m hoping to develop those interests and see where they lead. 69

water wastage. Taiwan experiences heavy rainfall, but there are still frequent water shortages here because our reservoirs can’t hold enough water. Water is so cheap in Taiwan that people don’t view it as a precious resource. Unfortunately, that means people tend to waste it. If we are to prevent water shortages in the future, we’ll have to be more mindful of our water use. We could, for instance, try not to leave the tap running while we brush our teeth. Or we could collect the water that would otherwise be wasted while we wait for our shower to heat up and use it to flush the toilet or water our houseplants. If we all make a conscious decision to use less water, we can ensure that we’ll have enough in our reservoirs to get us through periods of drought.
你是否曾在週末待在床上一直到中午，就為了「彌補」 一週的睡眠不足？可惜，我們的身體並不是那樣運作的。 事實上，一次睡太多居然會讓你感到「更」疲憊。你身體 需要的是每晚持續八小時的睡眠。所以，與其一週一次大 肆補眠，不如調整你的作息以確保有經常得到充足的休息。

28 FRI 我們只有五種感官：視覺、味覺、嗅覺、觸覺和聽覺。 但平衡呢？或感受熱和疼痛的能力呢？這些不也是感 官嗎？有些科學家估算我們有九種感官；有些說二十一 種；還有些算出五十三種。這全都取決於你怎麼定義「感 官」。然而，不論是用哪一個定義，絕對都超過五種！ 我們只用了大腦的百分之十。 這個巧妙的比喻被用來作為好幾部科幻電影的基礎：想 像一下如果我們能解開剩下的百分之九十，我們可以做到 的美好事情！但腦部掃描清楚顯示即使在說話和聽音樂這 類基本活動中，整個大腦幾乎都是處於活躍狀態。大腦沒 有完全運作的唯一時候是當它受到損傷時。 遺憾的是，說到假的身體事實時，這些只是冰山一角。 因此，下次你聽到一個關於身體的事實時，或許不要照單 全收才是明智的。自己研究一下，查明它是否確實是真的 或只是另一個捏造的假訊息。

綜合來看，這兩張圖描述了一個臺灣常見的問題：儘管 經常缺水，但人們還是在浪費水。雖然我們是已開發國家 中降雨率最高的，但臺灣仍然缺水。部分是因為我們的水 庫只能儲存六週的用水。因此在臺灣，水是珍貴的資源。 但遺憾的事實是，我們沒有因此珍惜它。因為水在這裡很 便宜，所以人們沒有把它視為重要的物品。那樣的心態導 致了浪費。 為了確保臺灣水庫的水能源源不絕，我們需要更加注意 每天的用水量。那可能包括對我們的用水習慣做一些簡單 的調整。舉例來說，我們刷牙時不要讓水龍頭開著，我們 可以把它關起來。另一個省水習慣是限制淋浴時間為五分 鐘。花更長時間淋浴或許很誘人，但不是必要的。臺灣有 將近兩千四百萬人，所以如果我們都稍微改變用水習慣， 就能對臺灣的供水產生很大的影響。
Part III 參考範文 The Problem of E-waste As technology becomes more advanced, people replace their electronic devices more frequently. Unfortunately, this cycle of buying, using, and discarding is filling the earth with e-waste. E-waste is particularly harmful to the environment, as it contains a number of toxic chemicals. When e-waste isn’t disposed of correctly, these chemicals can end up poisoning our soil, water, and air. This pollution is particularly concerning when you consider that e-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams on the planet. Currently, we produce more than 50 million tonnes of it each year, and that number is set to increase if we don’t take action. Fortunately, there are steps we can take to reduce e-waste. First, we can push for legislation that would force electronics companies to manufacture their products with repairable or replaceable par ts. By repairing or replacing components, we can extend the life of our devices. Second, we can simply purchase fewer devices. Before buying the latest phone, tablet, 71

Prices start at NT$35,000. M: I see. I’d have to ask the others to see if that’s something they’d be interested in. I wanted to spend a little more time sightseeing.
