四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】 
Over the past few years, more and more small stores in Taipei have started selling secondhand brand-name goods. 
Mostly aimed at women, these stores offer all the well-known brands—Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and so on—at prices 
much lower than department stores. There is even magazine, Secondhand Brand Goods Monthly, guiding customers to the 
best places to buy used stuff.   
The center of this secondhand boom is the Ding Hao area on Chunghsiao East Road. Within a small area, more than 
twenty shops are selling used brand-name goods, mainly clothing and accessories like handbags. Customers, who range 
from high school girls to middle-aged women, like the fact that they can purchase something that looks new and then sell 
it back when they get tired of it. They know that a Prada bag, for example, has a fixed value, and that even if it is third- or 
fourth-hand, it is still worth thousands of NT.   
Like many other trends in Taiwan, this one originated in Japan. During the long economic recession in the 1990s, 
many Japanese  women couldn’t afford the  brand-name goods that they wanted. As a result, the number of secondhand 
stores increased quickly. In Taiwan, the trend is growing so rapidly that stores are now opening in New Taipei City and 
even in other cities, such as Chiayi, Nantou, and Tainan. 
Whether the business of selling secondhand brand-name goods is just a fad remains to be seen. Retail experts suggest 
that it might actually become a long-term success. After all, if you have a Gucci bag that you no longer want, you might as 
well exchange it for a newer one instead of leaving it to collect dust in your cupboard.

【2】50. In paragraph four, the word “fad” is closest in meaning to              .
