【文章翻譯】
走路分心,就跟開車分心一樣,現在已經是造成傷亡的一個原因。一份近期的研究顯示,愈來愈多人因為邊走路邊用手機而落得必須進醫院的下場。在美國,從二○○四年到二○一○年,嚴重受傷的人數多了一倍。研究也發現會犯下走路分心這種錯誤的行人在過馬路前都不怎麼注意來車或遵守交通號誌。這個問題可能是一心多用的錯誤觀念所致。很多人認為他們可以邊走路邊同時發簡訊而游刃有餘。然而,事實上每一件事都需要全神貫注。有好幾種建議的解決方法。一種是教導孩子安全發送簡訊,而另一種是處罰走路分心。這些是促進道路安全的方法之一。

言論自由在很多國家都是非常重要的。那表示民眾應該擁有不受限制公然發言的自由。儘管如此,在過去許多大型的電視新聞台及報紙都掌控著我們所能接觸到的新聞。這讓我們的所見所聞只能侷限在特定的觀點內。然而,新聞報導逐日在改變。從網路及電視,民眾一天24小時都能接收到最新的消息。很多新聞內容甚至是由你我這般的老百姓所提供,也正是所謂的公民記者。
現在,由使用者生成的資訊輕而易舉地就能在網路上找到。公民記者們會上傳新聞故事給大家看。數位相機、手機或視訊攝影機的使用讓每個人更容易變成記者。這也讓民眾能幾乎在新聞發生的當下就同步接收。這些新聞可能是突發事件,或只是家鄉舉辦的文化慶典。不管是哪一種新聞,全民報導的風氣會繼續下去。你何不也成為其中之一,介紹一些關於台灣的有趣之處呢?

Have you ever skipped1 sleeping over a video game? Computer game designers often create interesting video games to tempt2 players to keep playing. These days, many employees are found to play video games at work even though their employers have set rules to stop them from doing so. In fact, video game addiction3 is regarded as harmful4, just like addiction to drugs, alcohol, or gambling, and should be treated with care.
In the workplace, addicted5 players are often seen as lazy, not sick; their bosses are not sympathetic6 to their addiction. If they have been caught several times playing video games at work, their salary may be cut, and even worse, they may lose their jobs. In some companies, the addicted players are allowed to play video games only on stressful7 days, but their bosses will check their computers from time to time to make sure that they are doing their work. However, while some companies continue to find some methods of preventing8 workday playing, addicted players still have their own ways to enjoy playing video games during working hours.
【文章翻譯】
你有沒有曾經為了打電玩而廢寢忘食?電腦遊戲設計師常常創作出非常有趣的電玩遊戲,以誘惑玩家一直打下去。這陣子,許多員工被發現即使老闆三申五令,還是會在上班時間打電玩。事實上,對電玩遊戲上癮被認為跟對毒品、酒精或者賭博上癮一樣,都對人類有害,而且應該要小心地治療。
在職場上,這些沈迷電玩遊戲的人,往往被認為是懶惰而不是生病,老闆對他們這種癮頭是完全不同情。如果他們好幾次都被抓到在上班時間打電玩,有可能會被減薪,或者甚至更糟的是被革職。有一些公司只允許這些上癮的玩家可以在緊張沈重的日子裡打打電玩減輕壓力,不過他們的老闆會不時檢查他們的電腦,確定他們有在工作。然而,雖然有些公司持續在想辦法阻止員工在上班時間打電玩,但是這些中毒已深的玩家仍然有自己的一套,可以在上班時候找到空檔打電玩。

A new food bank was just opened recently in Taichung. People in financial1 difficulties can go there to pick up relief2 products, and like going to a supermarket, they can get what they need, free of charge3 and with dignity4. In all food banks, items are donated5 by businesses, with a small number of products, such as diapers6 and vitamins7, purchased with subsidies8 from the city government. One important goal of the food banks is to reduce the waste9 of resources10 while giving away11 food and other daily necessities12 to those in need. Most food banks often hand out13 food packs14 without giving recipients15 a choice of the items. In that way, products still go to waste if the recipients are unable to use them. Moreover, the food packs do not contain milk powder or diapers to meet the needs of infants. However, at the new supermarket-like food bank, recipients can choose what they want and what they need from a wide range of products, which include diapers, infant formula16 milk powder, and children’s shoes.
In addition, the new food bank holds activities similar to those in other food banks. For instance, volunteers plan special holiday surprises for recipients and give away festive foods such as mooncakes. The main beneficiaries17 of food banks are the people who need a helping hand to avoid extreme poverty. Regardless of how they work, all food banks share the same goal: to lift disadvantaged18 families out of poverty.
【文章翻譯】
台中最近剛開了一家新的食物銀行。財務有困難的人們可以去那裡領取救濟物資,就像去超市一樣,需要什麼都可以免費拿到,而且不用低聲下氣地求人。在所有食物銀行裡,東西都是由各大企業所捐助,只有少部分比如說尿布及維他命之類的產品,是透過市政府撥出的補助金所購買的。食物銀行重要的目標之一就是將食物與其他日常生活用品送給需要的人,以減少資源的浪費。大部分的食物銀行往往都是直接發放糧食包,而沒有給人選擇的機會。那樣的話,如果拿到的人無法使用那樣東西的話,那些產品還是浪費掉了。此外,糧食包裡面並不包括嬰兒所需的奶粉或者尿布。然而,在這家如同超市的新型食物銀行裡,援助對象可以從各式各樣的產品裡面去選擇自己想要跟需要的東西,包括尿布、配方奶粉及童鞋。
除此之外,這家新的食物銀行也會舉辦跟其他食物銀行類似的活動。比如說,志工們會為這些濟助對象規劃歡度節慶的特別驚喜,並贈送如月餅之類的應景食物。食物銀行的主要受惠者就是那些需要幫忙以免陷入赤貧的人。不管運作方式為何,所有的食物銀行都有一個共同的目標:幫助弱勢家庭擺脫貧窮。

( B ) 47. How is the supermarket-like food bank different from other food banks?
(A) It sells all kinds of food, so nothing is wasted.
(B) It allows recipients to choose what they need.
(C) It receives help from the government.

(B) 它允許援助對象選擇自己所需要的東西。
(C) 它接受政府的幫助。
(D) 它會針對特殊節日舉辦活動。

( D ) 48. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
(A) Relief products are wasted if recipients choose what they want.
(B) The city government buys only vitamins and diapers.
(C) The supermarket-style food bank meets the needs of infants only.
