filter uses AI to estimate 34 your face will look like as you age. In a 35 of months, the filter got 11 billion views.

Tough yet malleable and easy to bend and work with, lead became the chosen metal for water pipes long, long ago—
a use that dates back to the ancient Romans. However, lead is notoriously dangerous, with medical and public health
experts agreeing that there is no safe level of lead in the human body. Then, how does lead get into our tap water? It
enters drinking water whena chemical reaction occurs in plumbing materials that contain lead. This is knownas corrosion
－dissolving or wearing-away of metal from the pipes and fixtures. This reaction is more severe when water has high
acidity or low mineral content. Because we cannot see, taste, or smell lead in drinking water, the best way to know the
risk of exposure to lead in drinking water is to identify the potential sources of lead in the service line and household
plumbing. The local water authority is always the first source for testing and identifying lead contamination in the tap
water. Here are a few suggestions for homeowners to cope with the problem:
－First and foremost, ask your water provider if you have a lead service line providing water to your home. If you
have a lead service line, ask if there are any programs to assist with removal of the lead service line going to your
home.
－You should be aware that any work, such as water main or service line replacement, could increase exposure to
lead while the work is ongoing and for up to six months after the work is completed.
－You should ask to have your water tested. Many public water systems will test drinking water for residents upon
request. There are also laboratories that are certified to test for lead in water.
－You need to understand that water sampling results can vary depending on the time of day, season, method of
sampling, flow of water and other factors.
36 According to the passage, which of the following is associated with plumbing materials?
Pipes and fixtures Mineral content
Certified laboratories Removal of acidity
37 According to the passage, how does lead get into our tap water?
Water pipes containing lead corrode, and the metal dissolves into the water.
The water authority does not monitor and treat source water that contains lead.
Lead gets into drinking water when the service line replacement is in process.
Drinking water is contaminated when it is tested and sampled by laboratories.
38 According to the passage, why did lead become a chosen material for water pipes?
It is strong and pliable. It is solid and dense.
It is heavy and compact. It is resistant to corrosion.
39 According to the passage, what will cause a more severe corrosion in plumbing materials that contain lead?
High mineral content. High acidity in water.
High temperatures. Highly toxic chemicals.
40 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
Water service line replacement could increase the exposure to lead while the work is proceeding.
Medical and public health experts agree that there is no safe level of lead in the human body.
Water sampling results can be different depending on the time of day, season, and method of sampling.
The most important thing is to look for a certified laboratory to identify lead contamination.

Early risers are people who naturally wake up early in the morning. Their body clock causes them to get up while most
ofusarestillindeepsleep.Researcherssaid earlyrisers could havesome sharedDNA fromNeanderthals –our 41 who
lived over 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals lived in northern parts of Europe and Asia. They woke up earlier to hunt for or
gather food as the sun 42 . Scientists have spent a long time looking at why some people are early birds, while others
are night owls. They looked at a medical database with 43 information for hundreds of thousands of people. They
compared the DNA of people who said they were early risers with the Neanderthal DNA. Their research found more
examples of Neanderthal DNA 44 in the early risers. However, it is likely that the Neanderthal DNA is not so strong
in many people. The effect of the Neanderthal DNA may be 45 as the centuries pass. Our modern lifestyles mean
many of us prefer sleeping in to leaving the comfort of our bed. Nevertheless, it may still be true that the early bird catches
the worm.

Is stray animal protection as urgent as it seems? As a matter of fact, I would like to change the movement’s name to
“de-privileged animal protection.” Stray animals can neither speak for their own rights nor register as voters. They are
the most unprivileged among the underprivileged. Suppose the whole society sees them not as life but as trash. In that
case, we would treat foreign laborers, old citizens who live alone, people with disabilities, and all other minority groups
similarly, as if a domino effect starts to implement itself. However, if we secure the first domino piece, that is, if we can
rescue a stray cat out of kindness, shall we fail to treat other species (including humans) in suffering kindly?
I recalled a reader from a university abroad saying in his letter to me, “I envy neither democracy nor wealth in
Taiwan. But I do envy the kindness and tolerance of Taiwanese people as shown in their kind treatment of non-human
species described in your cat book.”
Therefore, it is not a matter of cat caring or not (to use the rhetoric of relativism permeating throughout this society,
as in “Just as you have the freedom to love cats, so I have the freedom to hate them”). We care for aboriginal kids or
starving kids in Africa, not because we love or do not love them. It is an act of generosity, rightly making us a civilized
being.
46 According to the passage, what do foreign laborers, old citizens who live alone, and people with disabilities have
in common?
They are in large numbers. They do not enjoy social benefits.
They suffer from discrimination. They are often in the news.
47 According to the passage, what can the author’s job be?
A book writer. A shop owner.
A game developer. An environment official.
48 Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
Love All People in Suffering Be Kind to Stray Animals
Live a Life in a Safe Way Build a Cat-caring Shelter
49 Which of the following is closest in meaning to “permeating” in the context of this passage?
spreading claiming inhabiting outstanding
50 According to the passage, why do people care for stray animals?
It is a volunteer work. It is a humanitarian act.
It showcases love for the old. It promotes animals’ positive image.
