(A) It has long been assumed that creativity is some unusual trait enjoyed by the few.
However, according to a wide array of scientific and sociological research, creativity is
46 a sign of rare genius than a natural human potential. Thus, it can be nurtured and
encouraged.
It is believed that taking breaks from a problem can help 47 a moment of insight
or stimulate new ideas. Unconventional solutions can also be explored. That is why some
of the most successful companies in the world, such as 3M and Google, encourage their
employees to 48 all sorts of relaxing activities, such as playing pinball and
wandering about the campus. During such breaks, the mind turns inward, 49 it can
subconsciously puzzle over subtle meanings and connections.
Another way to increase creativity is to take risks. This is because many
breakthroughs come up when people venture 50 their usual routines or areas of
expertise. This can be done by, for example, learning new skills or traveling to new
countries.

49. (A) if (B) but (C) where (D) which
50. (A) into (B) without (C) under (D) beyond
(B) Research has proven that weather plays a part in our moods: Warmer temperatures
and exposure to sunshine increase positive thinking, whereas cold, rainy days bring anxiety
and fatigue. 51 , many people believe that bad weather can reduce productivity and
efficiency.
There is, however, a significant 52 between such beliefs and the actual effect of
weather on people’s performance at work. Using empirical data from laboratory
experiments 53 observations of a mid-sized Japanese bank in real life, researchers
find that weather conditions indeed influence a worker’s focus. When the weather is bad,
individuals tend to focus more on their work rather than thinking about activities they could
54 outside of work. But photos showing outdoor activities, such as sailing on a sunny
day or walking in the woods, can greatly distract workers and thus 55 their
productivity. The findings conclude that workers are actually most productive when the
weather is lousy—and only if nothing reminds them of good weather.
51. (A) At most (B) In contrast (C) Literally (D) Accordingly

VI. 閱讀測驗 10% (每題 2分)
Tea, the most typical English drink, became established in Britain because of the
influence of a foreign princess, Catherine of Braganza, the queen of Charles II. A lover of
tea since her childhood in Portugal, she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and
set a trend for the beverage in the seventeenth century. The fashion soon spread beyond the
circle of the nobility to the middle classes, and tea became a popular drink at the London
coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day. Many
employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing
a lasting British institution, the “tea break.” However, drinking tea in social settings
outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people. It came with
a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.
Around 1800, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, Anne Maria, began the popular
practice of “afternoon tea,” a ceremony taking place at about four o’clock. Until then,
4/4
people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner. At approximately
the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices,
with something (e.g., jam or cucumbers) between them. Before long, a small meal at the
end of the afternoon, involving tea and sandwiches, had become part of the British way of
life.
As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right
through all corners of the British society. Thus, tea became Britain’s favorite drink. In
working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers
returned home after a day’s labor. This meal has become known as “high tea.”
Today, tea can be drunk at any time of the day, and accounts for over two-fifths of all
beverages consumed in Britain—with the exception of water.

(A) By cause and effect. (B) In the order of importance.
(C) In the sequence of time. (D) By comparison and contrast.

(A) The most popular British organization. (B) A long-standing tradition in the UK.
(C) The last tea company in London. (D) A well-established British business.
58. According to the passage, why was tea NOT a common drink of everyday life in the
seventeenth century?
(A) It was only served at coffee houses in London.
(B) It was taxed as an alcoholic drink.
(C) It was forbidden outside of the business setting.
(D) It was too expensive for most people.
59. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
(A) High tea was served later in the day than afternoon tea in the nineteenth century.
(B) British people had tea breaks twice a day in the eighteenth century.
(C) Princess Catherine brought tea to England after visiting Portugal.

60. What does the conversation imply?
