四、閱讀測驗:(24%)
(一) John has a problem and he doesn’t know what to do. He likes art and wants to go to a vocational school.
However, his parents don’t agree with him. They want him to choose a high school. For him, it is hard to decide
whether he should go to high school or a vocational school. His best friend, Emily, wrote a letter to encourage him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear John,
Making choices is like batting during a baseball game. Every time you stand at the home base and swing your bat,
you don’t know if you will hit a home run or not. But you know something is important. You must focus on your bat.
No one can tell you whether it’s right to go to a vocational school. Think deeply and listen to your heart before
making your choice. If you do that, you’ll have a chance to hit a home run.
Do you know many successful people graduate from vocational schools? If you really love art, the useful classes
in a vocational school will help you learn new skills. All of those will lead you to sail successfully into your future.
So don’t worry, John. Listen to your inner voice because it will show you the way. encourage 鼓勵 inner 內在的

(二) Penny hasn’t had the best of luck for some time. She is tired of being unlucky, so she decides to find out
what she can do to change her luck. She goes onto the Internet to look for ways to do this, and she finds one
possible answer. It says she has to comb her hair inside a church. She’s not sure how that will change her luck,
but she tries it anyway. However, it doesn’t work because bad luck still follows her around. She doesn’t give up.
This time, she asks a friend what he does for good luck. He tells her to find a good luck charm like a four-leaf
clover or a rabbit’s foot and to carry it with her all the time. She doesn’t know why, but she likes the idea, so
she gives it a try. She finds a coin on the street by chance, so she decides to make it become her lucky charm.
This turns out to be a bad idea because it makes her luck go from bad to worse.
After that, Penny just stops believing in luck and starts believing in herself. Can you believe it? That’s when
her luck really begins to change. charm護身符 four-leaf clover四葉草 coin硬幣 turn out 結果是
