▲ 閱讀下文後，作答第 31–35 題

We all need money to live. Without it we cannot buy the things we need. The first people to live on the Earth did not use money. Instead, they bartered¹─giving something they had for something they needed. This still happens in many places today. The first things to be used as money were a type of sea-shell², called cowrie³ shells. They were used by the Chinese from about 1200 BC. The Chinese then began to make small objects that looked like cowrie shells. These were the first coins made out of metal⁴ and with a hole in them so that the coins could be put together to make a chain⁵. Over the years, money has been made of different things─for example, silver, leather⁶, and paper. The Chinese were the first to use paper money from about 800 AD. But, would you believe that noses have been used instead of money? Many hundreds of years ago, people from Denmark used to cut the noses off⁷ people who did not pay their taxes.

Since many think that the more money they have the happier they will be, they will make all the effort to earn money. Some even steal or commit⁸ crimes⁹ to become rich. Of course, we know this is wrong. Many wealthy people have found that, in spite of¹⁰ having all the possessions¹¹, they are not really happy. Some wealthy people live alone in gorgeous¹² mansions¹³ yet die lonely with no family or friends around them. They have spent their lives trying to be rich, but in fact they are poor. It is a pity that¹⁴ they do not know the true meaning of happiness, without getting and spending money.

【文章翻譯】

我們都需要錢過活。沒錢，我們就無法購買生活所需。最早居住在地球上的人類並沒有用錢。他們反而是以物易物—拿自己擁有的東西去換需要的東西。現在有許多地方仍然使用這種方式。最早被用來當作錢的東西是一種叫做子安貝的貝殼。從約西元前一千二百年起就被中國人使用。然後中國人開始製作外形像子安貝的小東西。這就是最早用金屬鑄成的錢幣，錢幣中間有孔，這樣才能連成一串。多年來，貨幣曾經用過各式各樣的東西來製作，例如銀、皮革及紙張。中國人是最早使用紙幣的民族，大約始自西元八百年左右。但是，你相信有人用鼻子來代替錢嗎？好幾百年前，丹麥人對付不納稅的人就是割掉他們的鼻子。

由於許多人都認為錢越多越快樂，所以他們不顧一切努力賺錢。有些甚至想靠偷搶、犯罪致富。當然，我們知道這是錯的。許多有錢人已經發現，即使家財萬貫也無法帶來真正的快樂。有些富翁形單影隻地住在豪宅裡，死時孤伶伶的，身邊一個家人或朋友都沒有。他們一生致力於追求致富，但事實上卻貧窮不已。很可惜，只要不賺錢和花錢，他們就不知道快樂的真正意義在哪裡。

▲ 閱讀下文後，作答第 36–40 題

As E-commerce¹ has become a global² economic trend, people are buying more products than ever before through the Internet. According to the statistics³ of AC Nielsen Corporation⁴, fifty-three percent of Taiwanese have bought something electronically⁵, which makes Taiwan the second largest place worldwide in terms of⁶ the number of online shoppers. Store owners are worried that the growing amount of online sales will hurt their businesses. This has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal⁷.

Experts say that traditional stores can keep their customers by selling goods that buyers may want to see and taste, or feel the material and try on⁸ before purchasing. The stores can also offer services to instantly⁹ set up¹⁰ or repair electronic products. In addition, stores can offer things that are difficult to ship¹¹, or provide goods to buyers more quickly than online stores. Experts say that traditional stores offer the unique social experiences and personal interactions¹² that most people enjoy. A lot of emotions can occur in the final buying decision. Oftentimes, you need that last sense of “Wow, this is exactly what I want!” before you’re ready to pay, and you can’t always get that online.

【文章翻譯】

由於電子商務已經變成全球的經濟趨勢，大家透過網路購買的產品數量比以前更多了。根據尼爾森調查公司出爐的統計數字，台灣人有53％都曾經在網路上買過東西，使得台灣網購人口高居世界第二。實體店家擔心不斷成長的線上交易會威脅到他們的生意。因此，傳統店面也在尋求提高顧客忠誠度的新招數。

專家表示，傳統的商店要留住顧客，可以銷售買家在購買前，可能會想要看一看、嘗一嘗，或者摸一摸質料和試穿的商品。店面也可以提供電子產品的即時安裝或維修服務。除此之外，他們也可以販售很難運送的東西，或者比網路商店更快出貨給買家。專家認為，傳統店面提供獨一無二的社交經驗和人際互動，這是大部分人都喜歡的。在做出最後購買決定時，心情可能會陷入多方掙扎。通常，你需要「哇，這正是我想要的！」那種拍板定案的感覺才會準備掏錢，而這是在網購時不一定能體驗到的。
