Why do people kiss under the mistletoe at Christmas? First, let's look at what mistletoe actually is.
39 Additionally, mistletoe is characterized by its colorful berries. However, don't be fooled by the
attractive appearance of these berries. Like all other parts of the mistletoe plant, they are poisonous to
humans if consumed.
In Western societies, mistletoe is hung in homes at Christmastime, and couples are encouraged to kiss
beneath it. Such a kiss is supposed to bring good luck. 40 Tradition also dictates that for each kiss
under mistletoe, one berry of the plant must be removed. When no berries remain, no further kissing is
allowed.
The origins of this tradition are mysterious. 41 But such stories bear no relation to the kissing
ritual. Some scholars believe that the role of mistletoe during Christmas celebrations arose from the ancient
Celts, for whom the plant symbolized fertility. 42
.
Whatever its true origin, kissing under the mistletoe at Christmas has become a lasting symbol of
festive romance and good fortune during the holidays.
(A)
Mistletoe appears in several tales from Norse mythology, such as the story of the god Baldur being
killed by a weapon made of the plant.
(B) Conversely, refusing the offer of such a kiss leads to misfortune.
(C)
However, it is equally likely that the tradition arose in England, possibly in the 18th century, when
a song lyric mentioned it.
(D)
Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that attaches itself to tree branches to get water and other nutrients from
the tree.

Climate change and global warming have raised global
awareness of sustainable consumption. In particular, France
implemented the Repairability Index in 2021, a label
indicating how easily electronics can be repaired. Products
with these labels signify that they have withstood multiple
repairs. In addition, the European Parliament in 2024
enacted the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
(ESPR), mandating that products sold in the EU must adhere to standards for repairability, reusability,
reliability, and recyclability.
Following the steps taken by the EU, Taiwan's Ministry of Environment established the Resource
Circulation Administration (RECA) to initiate processes that advance the movement towards the sustainable
use of products. The RECA is collaborating with local governments to implement repair stations and also is
working on rolling out the previously mentioned Repairability Index for electronics. The focus of the
movement is on requiring repairability assessments for products and providing consumers with repairability
information. By offering consumers these essential details, the RECA seeks to empower them to make
sustainable choices to extend product lifespans and reduce waste to address the urgent climate change
challenges faced by humanity.
43. What is the purpose of the second paragraph?
(A) To examine the impact of the sustainable project movement on local governments.
(B) To introduce the development of Taiwan's Resource Circulation Administration (RECA).
(C) To describe Taiwan's efforts to promote sustainable practices.
(D) To analyze the differences in the Repairability Index between Taiwan and France.
44. What do "essential details" most likely refer to in the last sentence?
(A) Repairable electronics.
(B) Relevant repairability reports.
(C) Sustainable regulations.
(D) Climate change challenges.
Nestled in the mountains of central Taiwan, Nantou County
becomes an enchanting place in winter, offering both natural
beauty and numerous opportunities for relaxation. First, the Fuxing
Hot Spring Area, famous for its sodium bicarbonate springs known
to locals as the "Beauty Bath," provides soothing hot waters for
bathing. This area developed following the decline of the Lushan
Hot Spring Area, which had been a popular tourist spot until
natural disasters and overdevelopment eventually led to its
reclassification as a hazardous zone.
Furthermore, in winter, Nantou’s landscape undergoes a
stunning transformation. For example, in the Aowanda National
Forest Recreation Area, bald cypress trees change from green to
gold in December and then to a deep red in January. Visitors can also travel southwest from Aowanda
toward Sun Moon Lake, which is famous for its dramatic sea of clouds.
Finally, those seeking adventure may consider traveling up Hehuanshan via Provincial Highway 14A.
With altitudes reaching 3,421 meters, Hehuanshan attracts visitors for both its atmospheric clouds and the
promise of snowfall in winter.
In conclusion, a trip to Nantou County during the winter months offers a variety of experiences, catering
to both adventure seekers and those in search of relaxation.
45. In which publication might readers come across this passage?
(A) Nantou's Winter Retreat: Exciting Activities and Relaxing Getaways
(B) From Origins to Paradise: The Development of Nantou's Hot Springs
(C) Thrills in Nantou: Your Ultimate Adventure Travel Guide
(D) Cloud-Watching in Nantou: From Seas of Mist to Mountain Tops
46. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
(A) Provincial Highway 14A is an essential route for those heading from Aowanda to Sun Moon
Lake.
(B) The Fuxing Hot Spring Area gained popularity after being restored following natural disasters.
(C) The best time to visit the Aowanda National Forest Recreation Area is in summer.
(D) Tourists may not be allowed to access the Lushan Hot Spring Area for safety reasons.

The stonefish is a fish that truly lives up to its name. Stonefish come in various shades of brown, red,
yellow, and orange, and they have a rough skin texture, making them look like stone or pieces of coral.
However, do not be fooled by their harmless
appearance-stonefish are the most venomous fish in the
ocean.
Stonefish feature an impressive number of
venomous spines: 13 dorsal fin spines on their backs,
along with two pelvic and three anal spines concealed
beneath their skin. If pressure is applied to a stonefish,
these spines will release venom, which can cause pain, breathing difficulties, and even death for a person who
is stung. Nevertheless, the spines serve purely defensive purposes. Stonefish are ambush predators. Rather
than using their venomous spines offensively, stonefish hunt by staying perfectly still and then striking small
fish and shrimp as they swim close.
Stonefish typically live in shallow waters and can survive out of water for up to 24 hours. Therefore,
people need to be extremely careful and avoid stepping on random stones when getting close to the beach—it
may just turn out to be a thorny fish!
48. Which of the following aspects about the stonefish is NOT discussed in the passage?
(A) How its venom can be treated.
(B) What triggers it to give off venom.
(C) How it catches other sea creatures.
(D) What role the creature's spines play.
49. Which of the following about the stonefish is true?
(A) It gets its name because its body is hard like stone.
(B) It is equipped with poisonous spines, all of which are directly visible.
(C) It spends much of its life out of water.
(D) It remains nearly motionless during its hunt.
50. According to the passage, what may be the author's advice to beachgoers?
(A) Avoid disturbing wildlife and natural habitats while exploring the beach.
(B) Please look closely at the ground when walking on the beach.
(C) Familiarize yourself with the emergency procedures for the beach.
(D) Be careful when using beach equipment like umbrellas or tents.
