worried that the world will end or the
government will take over their property
without warning4 ,In ,Doomsday ,Castle1
learn how ,Brent ,Bruns talked his
family into helping him build protection
from these problems4 ,To learn how to
survive in college1 many
people join
clubs4 ,See if you think that is the
best route in ,Should ,Students ,Join
,Clubs8 ,Running
clubs are quite popular on campuses1 but
very few people do more than marathons4
,In ,Ultra ,Men and ,Women1 read about
runners who race over extremely long
distances4 ,After one of these long
races1 why not treat yourself to
something special4
,In ,The ,Cronut ,Craze1 ,Ivy ,League

  ,Sometimes crazy people should not be
allowed to have children4
  s`i:1r("qz'l_1d!agu1o/"y'kw'o0"4`e|`s`
e{`rw1-

  ,The year was #aiii and the closer it
got to ,December #ca1 the crazier people
got4 ,The doomsday scenarios people were
coming up with were the end of humanity
as we know it and a computer virus that
would crash the banking system1 so
people had stocked up on canned food and
built shelters to prepare for the worst4
,Then1 when the clock struck midnight
around the world1 very few problems
happened4 ,Governments worked normally1
money was readily available at ,,ATM
machines1 and some crazy people had a
lot of canned goods to eat4 ,Basically1
all the worry about ,Y#b,K was for
nothing4
  ,While it has been #ad years since the
turn of the millennium1 there are still
a few people out there who think the
world will be ending soon4 ,One of them
is ,Brent ,Bruns who is building a
castle with his #aj children to shelter
his family deep in the forests of ,South
,Carolina4 ,This month1 ,National
,Geographic ,Channel 7,,NGC7 features
,Bruns and his family on ,Doomsday
,Castle4
  ,Unsurprisingly1 the castle actually
began as a bunker in #aiii4 ,Since ,Y#b
,K passed with little trouble1 ,Bruns is
now focused on what he believes will be
the apocalypse--an electromagnetic burst
which will cause power failure across
the ,,US and send everyone back to the
,Dark ,Ages4 ,On the show1 ,Bruns wants
his family prepared for anything and
everything1 so he launches fake tear gas
attacks on them and has trainers come to
teach them survival and sniper skills4
,Will the family survive the craziness
of their father and finish the castle1
or will they run away to be normal kids8
,Find out on ,,NGC's ,Doomsday ,Castle4

mass transit systems in the world4
,Officially known as the ,Taipei ,Rapid
,Transit ,Corporation 7,,TRTC71 the
,,TRTC serves the greater ,Taipei area4
,For the past three years1 an
international organization has ranked
the ,,TRTC as number one for safety1
reliability1 and quality4 ,While the
subway system cost an arm and a leg1
most people believe it was money well
spent4 ,Taipei's mass rapid system#f
came a little late1 but it was worth the
wait4
  ,The world's first ,,MRT system was
built in ,London in #ahfc4
,Affectionately called
8the ,Tube10 the ,London system like the
,,TRTC is ranked in the top #aj
internationally4 ,In #ahfh1 ,New ,York
,City made a modest start with its

7,,MTA74 ,Today the ,New ,York ,,MTA has
the longest route system and the most
stations of any city worldwide4 ,It is
open #bd hours a day1 #cfe days a year4
,With #d.e million passengers a day1 it
is still below that of ,Tokyo1 ,Seoul1
and ,Moscow1 all of which carry more
than seven million commuters daily4
,These three carriers
plus the
,,TRTC and ,Paris's ,,MRT are also
famous for their cleanliness4
  ,Many ,,MRT systems around the world
are connected to other transportation
systems4 ,For example1 once inside the
,,TRTC1 one can easily connect to both
regular and high-speed train services4
,Bus service and taxi stands are
available at all ,,MRT stations to
shuttle passengers to their final
destinations1 too4 ,,MRT systems can be
considered a transformative technology1
which means they greatly affect how
people live their lives4 ,Just ask
anyone who lived in ,Taipei before the
#aiijs what commuting was like before
the ,,TRTC4

  #a4 ,What is the main purpose of the
passage8
  7,A7 ,To justify the high cost of
building ,,MRT systems4
  7,B7 ,To introduce a few ,,MRT systems
around the globe4
  7,C7 ,To give a detailed history of
,,MRT systems4
  7,D7 ,To explain why ,,MRT systems are
so expensive4

about the ,,TRTC is true8
  7,A7 ,It has the longest route system
in the world4
  7,B7 ,It carries the most passengers4
  7,C7 ,It has more stations than any
other system4
  7,D7 ,It has been the safest system
for years4
  #c4 ,The idiom 8cost an arm and a leg0
in the fourth sentence of the first
paragraph most nearly means
  7,A7 required a great deal of work4
  7,B7 was extremely expensive4
  7,C7 was very flexible4
  7,D7 was extremely dangerous4
  #d4 ,Which of the following is an
example of a transformative technology8

        ,The ,Riddle of the ,Sphinx
        gu1mt"i:'iu'e."a:'m*1

  by ,Bruce ,Bagnell
  ,Many cultures celebrate the monster
with a lion's body and human face4
  e|`d3'=1r9"k+'e&".1a!"a:'6`s`i:'h:aiu'
j|'r!1gu1c0"ct`l&`d!ak7"/"-

  ,What walks on four legs in the
morning1 two legs in the afternoon1 and
three legs in the evening8 ,This riddle
was supposedly asked to travelers by a
mythological creature called the
,Sphinx4 ,This monster had the body of a
lion but the face of a human4 ,This same
creature occurs in surprisingly many
cultures1 with1 of course1 local
variations4
  ,Probably the most famous of the
ancient sphinxes is the huge one carved
from rock near the ,Great ,Pyramids of
,Egypt4 ,In this version1 the ,Great
,Sphinx of ,Giza1 as it is officially
known1 had the body of a lion and the
head of a man4 ,In the ,Greek version of
their sphinx1 the monster had the body
of a lion1 the face of a woman1 and a
pair of wings4 ,Another major difference
between the two types of sphinx was
their character4 ,The sphinx of ,Greece
was a merciless man-eating monster1
killing anyone unable to answer her
riddle4 ,On the contrary1 the ,Egyptian
man-faced sphinx was kindly4
  ,Other cultures also imagined sphinxes
with a lion's body and person's face1
with or without wings4 ,Ancient
,Persians depicted sphinxes in stone and
wall paintings4 ,In ,South and
,Southeast ,Asia1 winged sphinxes appear
not only in ancient drawings and
sculptures1 but even now frequently in
modern drawings1 paintings1 and wood
carvings4 ,The sphinxes in most of these
areas are seen as good spirits1
protecting people from harm4 ,These
beasts are closely related to local
,Hindu and ,Buddhist mythologies and
traditions4
  ,So1 have you figured out the riddle
yet8 ,The answer is3 a man4 ,People
crawl as babies in the morning of their
lives1 then walk on both feet in the
afternoon1 and finally1 with the
assistance of a cane1 on three feet in
the evening4 ,Now1 should you ever come
across a sphinx1 you will have the
correct answer to her riddle and not be
eaten alive4

        *'fw'r9"az"j!"e&'ox`

  ,At rush hour on any given day in
,Shanghai's subway stations1 people are
packed in like sardines4 ,It's hard for
anyone to get in and out of the trains1
and it feels a bit dangerous because
there are so many people packed into the
small spaces4 ,It's at times like these
when ,China's one-child policy seems to
make sense4 ,If people were freely
allowed to have as many children as they
wanted1 the subways would be filled with
even more people and ,China would have
even more mouths to feed4
  ,China's one-child policy has always
been controversial and problematic4
,Introduced in #aigi as a way to
alleviate social1 economic1 and
environmental problems1 this family
planning policy has averted at least
#bjj million births1 according to
experts4 ,While that may seem like good
news for a country that was crawling out
of poverty not too long ago1 there have
been many negative consequences4 ,Female
babies are looked down upon1 and there
is a real gender imbalance in ,China
now4 ,Also1 experts say that the policy
has hurt ,China's economic development4
  ,For the people opposed to the one-
child policy1 good news has finally
arrived4 ,It seems as though ,Chinese
officials are preparing to make small
changes in their controversial family
planning policies4 ,Couples with either
the wives or the husbands being only
children will soon be allowed to have a
second child4 ,This means that most
people under the age of #cj should be
able to have more than one child4

  #a4 ,In the first paragraph1 why does
the author mention ,China's one-child
policy8
  7,A7 ,Subways would be more crowded if
,China didn't have its one-child policy4
  7,B7 ,Subways would be cheaper to
build if ,China did away with the one-
child policy4
  7,C7 ,Tickets for the trains would be
cheaper without the one-child policy4
  7,D7 ,There would be more stops on the
subway lines without the one-child
policy4
  #b4 ,What is an example of gender
imbalance8
  7,A7 ,Too many people in a subway
station4
  7,B7 ,People not being allowed to have
any babies4
  7,C7 ,Too many males being born over
the past #cj years4
  7,D7 ,Women being treated poorly in
,Asia4
  #c4 ,What are the changes to the one-
child policy8
  7,A7 ,People will be able to have as
many children as they like4
  7,B7 ,Couples with a daughter will be
able to have a second child4
  7,C7 ,Couples will be allowed to have
two more children if they are rich4
  7,D7 ,Parents without brothers or
sisters will be able to have one more
child4

  ,Like the head chef in a top
restaurant1 a bando {fw1|`33ov"a3'o chef
is responsible for the entire meal1 from
purchasing ingredients1 designing the
menu1 and cooking the food all the way
to controlling the timing of the
banquet4 ,Geographical and environmental
factors have contributed to the
reputation of the ,Neimen district as
the home of ,Taiwan's bando chefs4
  ,Compared to neighboring districts
such as ,Meinong1 which has flat and
fertile land suitable for rice1 and
,Chishan1 known for its banana exports
to ,Japan1 ,Neimen lacks such resources4
,The area is not suited to farming
because of its chalky1 highly alkaline
soil1 and when the rains come1 the soil
is often washed away1 leaving only muddy
rocks4 ,Therefore1 the locals have
traditionally harvested bamboo to make
baskets and containers and sold their
products to the banana farmers in
,Chishan4
  ,From the #aifjs1 however1 ,Chishan's
farmers replaced their bamboo baskets
with cheaper packing materials like
cardboard and plastic1 so ,Neimen's
economy was hit hard4 ,At the same time1
the bando business was growing1 and it
soon became a major career path for
local residents4
  ,Over the past #dj years1 as people in
,Neimen tried out different ways of
making a living1 the bando business has
taken root and become a way of life for
many locals4 ,Chef ,Xue ,Qing-ji1 who
can boast four decades of experience in
the bando business1 says that in the
early years1 bando didn't have the same
division of labor that it has today4
,Chefs weren't really qualified1 and
they were in fact often the host's
relatives and friends who happened to be
good at cooking4 ,They would come to
help1 cooking simple dishes like fried
noodles4

  ,Although business today is not what
it was1 many families are still passing
on the skills and bando tradition to the
younger generation4 ,Xue ,Ming8 hui1 a
second-generation chef1 inherited his
cooking skills from his father4 ,He says
that after receiving an order1 the bando
chef has to discuss the menu and serving
order with their customers and then
organize and prepare everything for the
banquet within a month4 ,With success
depending exclusively on word of mouth1
8,Even just a simple error could ruin
the firm's reputation10 says ,Xue4
  ,Bando chefs also need to be aware of
and strictly follow traditional culinary
procedures4 ,For example1 the first dish
at a banquet celebrating a move into a
new house must be chicken1 symbolizing
the establishment of the new home4 ,For
a funeral1 however1 the chicken dish
indicates that what is past is past4
,The mourners should reestablish their
home and restart their lives without
their loved one4 ,Abiding by bando
rituals ensures that the host and their
guests go home happy4 ,Xue ,Ming8 hui
has experienced times when things did
not go according to plan4 ,Once1 at the
beginning of his career1 he served an
undercooked dish1 making the host very
unhappy4
  ,The hardest part is time management4
,Xue notes that with an average
preparation time of six to seven hours
for a large banquet1 workers have to
start at around #e3jj ,,AM to get
everything ready for midday4 ,Unexpected
disasters with such a deadline can
occasionally create a nightmare for the
chef4 8,Physicians hate trying to cure a
cough1 plumbers dislike locating leaks1
and bando chefs fear cooking for a mid
day banquet10 says ,Xue4

  ,In the history of both toys and
marketing1 the enormous success of the
,Barbie doll is legendary4 ,This popular
plaything of little girls the world over
has become such a cultural icon that
it's hard to imagine a time when
,Barbie didn't exist4 ,Her official
birthday is ,March #i1 #aiei1 the day
the doll debuted at the ,American
,International ,Toy ,Fair in ,New ,York
,City4 ,Interestingly enough1 many of
the buyers there weren't impressed with
the doll4 ,Also to note was the fact
that ,Ruth ,Handler1 the woman who came
up with the idea for ,Barbie1 had to
work hard to convince the directors of
,Mattel1 the company she co-founded with
her husband1 to take a chance on
developing and promoting the toy4
  ,Prior to her pitch to ,Mattel1
,Handler had noticed that her daughter
,Barbara liked to play with paper dolls
and pretend they were adults4 ,Most
dolls made at that time were in the
likeness of infants1 not adults1 so
,Handler's idea was somewhat innovative
for its time4 ,During a trip to ,Germany
in the mid-#aiejs1 she found more
inspiration in a doll in the shape of a
curvy woman4 ,She bought a few of these
,German dolls1 which were named ,Bild
,Lilli1 to convince ,Mattel of the
marketability of her idea4
  ,Despite ,Mattel's initial reluctance
to manufacture ,Barbies1 the dolls soon
proved to be immensely popular4 ,Mattel
used ,,TV advertising effectively to
market the doll1 and it was among the
first toy companies to use that method
of promotion so extensively4 ,The
company's efforts succeeded in making
,Handle r's creation the number one doll
in the world1 with more than one billion
sold in over #aej countries4

  ,Donuts will never be the same again
because ,Cronuts have taken the world by
storm4 ,Almost everyone is talking about
these donut-croissant 7#a71 but very
few people are lucky enough to eat them4
,The pastries borrow the ring shape of
7#b7 donuts1 but are made from croissant
dough4 ,They are fried and then filled1
dusted1 and glazed1 just like regular
donuts4
  ,New ,York ,City is the official home
to ,Cronuts1 which were invented by chef
,Dominique ,Ansel at his ,Soho bakery in
early #bjac4 ,It was only a matter of
time 7#c7 everyone got in on the action
because word about these delicious
treats spread like wildfire4 ,The
,Cronut craze has resulted in 7#d7
springing up all over the world4 ,Even
if you've heard that ,Cronuts are now
available in your city1 don't get too
excited because they are not the real
deal4 ,The original ,Cronut is made 7#e7
at ,Dominique ,Ansel's bakery1 and only
a few hundred are made each day4 ,For a
taste of the real thing1 and even some
of the better replicas1 lines are long4
,For many months after the 7#f7 launch
of ,Cronuts1 lines at the ,New ,York
,City bakery started as early as #f3jj
,,AM1 and the wait was hours long4 ,It
was reported that some people would even
7#g7 the hot commodities for up to ,,US
4#ajj for something that originally only
cost ,,US 4#e4 ,While there are only a
few places that sell fake ,Cronuts in
,Taiwan1 many people expect them to be
very popular soon4

read a selection of texts1 such as
magazine and newspaper articles1
letters1 and advertisements4 ,Each text
is followed by several questions4
,Select the best answer for each
question and mark the letter

article and letter to the editor4

  ,Is the ,New ,City ,Stadium ,Safe
,Enough to ,Use8
  ,With only a month before the opening
of ,Kirkpatrick ,Stadium1 reports of
possible safety problems are emerging
from knowledgeable sources4
  ,Unprotected electricity lines on the
walls and ceilings of the hallways may
pose a hazard to the public4 ,Especially
with reported leaking ceilings1 the
possibility of electrical fires is high4
,Adjacent to the main entrance1 empty
boxes for fire safety equipment are
evident4 ,Currently1 the stadium is not
fit for public use4

  ,To the ,Editor3
  ,We are outraged at your report 8,Is
the ,New ,City ,Stadium ,Safe ,Enough to
,Use80 7,Tuesday1 ,May #b74 ,The 8safety
hazards0 referred to in the apparently
hastily written article will not exist
by the ,June #a opening4 ,It goes
without saying that during construction
operations1 electric lines must first be
laid before covering them with a
protective plastic layer4 ,The lines for
the entire structure have already been
laid4 ,The protective coverings are
scheduled to be in place by ,May #bj4
,As to the 8leaking ceiling10 anyone
familiar with construction sites can
tell you that once the major sections of
a building site are in place1 they must
be washed to remove leftover
construction materials4 ,The stadium is
currently being cleaned1 resulting in
excess water1 which will be removed long
before the ,June #a opening4 ,Finally1
the 8empty boxes0 will be fitted with
proper fire safety equipment1 as
scheduled1 on ,May #bc4 ,Your reporting
on this construction site can only be
called 8sensationalism40 ,Our safety
record1 in fact1 is second to none in
this state4 ,We are on schedule at this
phase of construction4 ,We will invite
your reporter to visit the stadium on
,May #bf1 the date for scheduled
completion1 and write another article4
,We hope the reporter will then be
considerate enough to include an
apology1 which we believe is due4 ,John

  ,Ronald ,Wilson ,Reagan was born on
,February #f1 #aiaa1 in the small
,Midwestern town of ,Tampico1 ,Illinois4
,His father ,Jack was a tough
,Irish-,American shoe salesman1 and his

small town of #aj1jjj1 when he was nine
years old4
  ,Reagan was a quiet boy who enjoyed

reading books on natural history4 ,Years
later1 he would remark that ,Dixon was a
great place to grow up1 recalling fond
memories of playing in the woods1
fishing1 and swimming in the ,Rock
,River4 ,Although racial and ethnic
discrimination were widespread there1
,Jack and ,Nelle encouraged the boys to
invite their ,African-,American and
,Jewish friends into their home4 ,Both
parents of the future ,American
president had very little formal
education1 and the ,Reagan family was
poor4 ,They encouraged their sons to
work hard in school and to make
something of their future4 ,However1
,Reagan wasn't the best student1
focusing more on extracurricular
activities like football and acting4 ,He
took leading roles in several plays1
became one of the most popular and
well-liked boys in his class1 and was
elected president of the student body in
his senior year4
  ,Reagan entered ,Eureka ,College in
#aibh4 ,As in high school1 he spent most
of his time engaging in school sporting
activities such as football1 track1 and
swimming4 ,While at ,Eureka1 he
organized a student strike to protest a
teacher layoff at the onset of the
,Great ,Depression4 ,Reagan eventually
graduated in #aicb with a major in
economics and sociology4
