English is the most popular international language. It originated in England, but soon spread to other countries.
Today, the countries in which English is spoken can be 1 into three groups. The first group is 2 those
countries where English is the primary language. These are countries like England, Canada, the United States, Ireland,
Australia, and New Zealand. There are more than 380 million native speakers of English in these countries 3 .
There is a second group of countries that have their own 4 of English. India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and
Kenya are examples of this group. Countries in the third group are China, Russia, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Indonesia, and
many Western European countries. Some people calculate the number of speakers in this group to be 5 one
billion, and the number is growing everyday.

Every ten minutes, a person is 23 the national waiting list for organ transplants. And every day, 22 people

請依下文回答第 26 題至第 30 題：
Many studies have shown that musical training can enhance language skills. However, it was unknown whether
music lessons improve general cognitive ability, leading to better language proficiency, or if the effect of music is more
specific to language processing. A new study has found that piano lessons have a very specific effect on kindergartners’
ability to distinguish different pitches, which translates into an improvement in discriminating between spoken words.
However, the piano lessons did not appear to confer any benefit for overall cognitive ability, as measured by IQ, attention
span, and working memory.
Previous studies have shown that on average, musicians perform better than nonmusicians on tasks such as reading
comprehension, distinguishing speech from background noise, and rapid auditory processing. However, most of these
studies have been done by asking people about their past musical training. The MIT researchers wanted to perform a
more controlled study in which they could randomly assign children to receive music lessons or not, and then measure
the effects. After six months, the researchers tested the children on their ability to discriminate words based on
differences in vowels, consonants, or tone (many Mandarin words differ only in tone). Better word discrimination usually
corresponds with better phonological awareness — the awareness of the sound structure of words, which is a key
component of learning to read. Children who had piano lessons showed a significant advantage over children in the extra
reading group in discriminating between words that differ by one consonant. Children in both the piano group and extra
reading group performed better than children who received neither intervention when it came to discriminating words
based on vowel differences.

請依下文回答第 42 題至第 46 題：
Because we are living longer than ever, more psychologists and social workers have begun to study ways of
caregiving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: they all feel
that they can do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the
responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believed
that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others
hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent. When people care
for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services, such as adult day-care centers. If the caregivers

are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other
responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent
person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself as
long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very
positive experience. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. One consideration is to ask parents
what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home, so they can select
one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to be
assertive and ask for help from others, especially siblings. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not
know what to do. We can expect to live longer lives than ever before. Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can
be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved.
42 According to the passage, what is the shared feature of all caregivers?
They feel they have no way but to accept the job.
They think the elderly will appreciate what they do.
They feel they can do the job without any difficulty.
They believe they can do the job better than anyone else.
43 Which is one of the reasons why the caregivers took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly?
Helping others made them feel more needy and dependent.
They had been encouraged by social workers to help an elderly.
They had a sense of accomplishment when helping their relative.
By helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old.
44 According to the passage, why are adult children more likely to use services from adult day-care centers?
Because they often have jobs. Because they are irresponsible.
Because they want to save money. Because community services are better.
45 What does the word siblings refer to in “Caregivers must also learn to be assertive and ask for help from others,
especially siblings?”
Husband and wife. Brothers and sisters.
Spouse and relatives. Friends and neighbors.
46 What is the best title for this passage?
Care of the Elderly. Satisfied Caregivers.
Family Responsibilities. Findings by Psychologists.
