Then each subject wore a portable blood pressure monitor for 24 hours while performing their
normal activities. The groups had little difference in walking blood pressure, but married people 33
in blood pressure during sleep.
People whose blood pressure does not dip during sleep are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease,
according to Julianne Holt-Lunstad, 34 .
The unhappy married had higher daytime and 24-hour blood pressure readings than single people. Marital
satisfaction is associated with satisfaction with life, lower stress, less depression, and lower walking blood
pressure.

四、閱讀測驗 (36~50題)
Passage 1
The La Brea tarpits, located in Hancock Park in the Los Angeles area, have proven to be an
extremely fertile source of Ice Age fossils. Apparently, during the period of the Ice Age, the tarpits were
covered by shallow pools of water; when animals came there to drink, they got caught in the sticky tar
and perished. The tar not only trapped the animals, leading to the death, but also served as a remarkably
effective preservant, allowing near-perfect skeletons to remain hidden until the present era.
In 1906, the remains of a huge prehistoric bear discovered in the tarpits alerted archeologists to the
potential treasure lying within the tar. Since then thousands and thousands of well-preserved skeletons
have been uncovered, including the skeletons of camels, horses, wolves, tigers, sloths, and dinosaurs.

Passage 2
It seems the art of survival — or continual positive projection — in the world of pop music these
days, depends very much on change. If artists fail to recreate their persona — chameleon-like, over and
over again — they risk facing accusations of dullness; that is, they are not fashionable.
This phenomenon is especially prevalent in the female ranks. It is not sufficient for an artist to be
beautiful and sexy. These characteristics too must be changed often, and remodeled to avoid being bogged
down by a stereotype.
Two examples of the rock 'n' roll art of move and change are Cher and Madonna, the latter a
brilliant illustration of the trend. Her latest disc, 'Something to Remember', showcases her hit ballads and
how she has so effectively been able to stay at the top without diminishing credibility in her particular
field. (For these purposes, we will forget her unworthy flirtation with sex, that horrible book and her
expletive-ridden, cigar-chomping appearance on the David Letterman Show.)
This collection demonstrates how she has toned down her dominatrix image at relevant times to
give contrast and definition to her career. But it offers more than simply a study in rock fashion history.
There is also a solid assortment of quality music.
(A) 41. This article is primarily
(A) a review of Madonna's new record.
(B) a review of Cher's new record.
(C) an analysis of Madonna's success in Hollywood.
(D) a review of Madonna's career.
(B) 42. The main point of paragraph 1 is to tell the reader that artists need to
(A) keep an image that the public knows and loves.
(B) recreate themselves to survive.
(C) avoid being dull at all costs.
(D) stay sexy to survive.
(C) 43. How would you describe the writer's attitude towards Madonna?
(A) basically critical
(B) negative
(C) generally favorable
(D) uncritically admiring
(D) 44. In paragraph 3, the main point is to
(A) compare Cher's and Madonna's work.
(B) describe some stories from Madonna's past.
(C) detail the contents of the new record.
(D) introduce Madonna's new record.
(B) 45. In paragraph 3, the writer mentions Madonna's “unworthy flirtation with sex, that horrible book
and the cigar chomping appearance...... “
(A) to criticize her unworthy past.
(B) to contrast the positive points of her record.
(C) to illustrate the trend of change in rock 'n' roll.(D) to diminish her credibility.
Passage 3
Blogs (short for “weblogs”) have grown into one of the Net’s most important types of websites.
There are now more than 100 million blogs, published by office workers, singers, businesses, and
everyone in between. Blog posts often include links to other blogs, forming strong online communities.
Altogether, the internet’s massive collection of blogs is known as the “blogosphere.”

Besides being free, blogs are easy to maintain – two big reasons for their popularity. Beneath the
main banner are entries posted by the blog writer, or blogger. New entries appear at the top so posts are
listed in the order that they were written. Plus, blogs usually allow readers to add comments. When the
blogger or other readers respond, it can lead to interesting conversations.
A blog may be about someone’s daily life, job hobbies, or any other topic. Someone interested in
LCD TVs might start a blog about them, posting articles, reviews, and his or her opinions. So blogs are
resources which are informative, yet personal. In the internet age, that’s a key combination which attracts
readers.
The power of blogs to reach a wide audience is well known. Many celebrities use blogs to post
news, making traditional press releases less popular. Reporters track comments on the blogosphere to
measure the public’s reaction to events. And politicians use blogs to voice their ideas.
In the USA, more than 50% of Internet users enjoy reading blogs. That has caught the eye of a lot
of businesses. Some companies hire bloggers to write about products. Bloggers can also make money by
hosting ads from firms like Amazon. And through programs like Google’s AdSense, ads are placed on a
blog based on its keywords. Bloggers can also set up deals with companies. So, for example, a blog about
cats may display a pet food company’s banner.
With so many money-making opportunities, popular bloggers can earn $1,000 per month or more.
Some even make a full-time living from their blogs. The key is to add new content on a regular basis. You
want people to know that your site is useful and up to date. That may mean spending several hours a day
creating new content. If a blog’s traffic reaches 2,000 daily visitors, it’s a sign that you’re a big hit in the
blogosphere.
(C) 46. What is the main idea?
(A) It takes a lot of time to add content to a blog.
(B) Celebrities keep in touch with fans through blogs.
(C) Blogs have become a popular type of website.
(D) Comments from blog readers lead to conversations.
(C) 47. What is a blogger?
(A) a popular blog writing style
(B) a special kind of blog entry
(C) a person who runs a blog
(D) a banner at the top of a blog
(D) 48. Why are press releases less popular than they used to be?
(A) They are too much trouble to set up.
(B) The media is paying less attention to the Net.
(C) Politicians prefer to track events through blogs.
(D) People are using blogs to release news.
(B) 49. Which of the following is TURE about blogs?
(A) About one-third of US Web users like reading them.
(B) A popular blog may attract 2,000 visitors per day.
(C) There are more than 100 billion blogs on the Net.
(D) More than 50% of all new blogs come from the USA.
(A) 50. What does the article say about making money from blogs?
(A) Hosting ads from Amazon is one way to earn money.
(B) Most bloggers treat blogs as their full-time job.
(C) Writing about products is the easiest way to get rich.
(D) It’s almost impossible to earn $1,000 per month.
