　　At age 23, Indian entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla is the CEO of a company valued at INR 50 crore (over $7.5 million). Today, he considers himself the luckiest man in the world, not for his success, but for having supportive parents who always stood by him.

　　When Srikanth was born blind, several of his parents’ friends and relatives advised them to abandon him. Th at would indeed have been the easier thing to do, given the fact that they were poor and uneducated, earning a mere INR 20,000 ($300) a year. But they chose to not only keep the boy, but also raise him in a positive, loving environment. “They are the richest people I know,” he often says.

　　And their excellent parenting has paid off — today, Srikanth is the CEO of Bollant Industries, a Hyderabad-based company that employs physically challenged staff to manufacture eco-friendly consumer packaging solutions made from leaves and recycled paper. It wasn’t an easy ride for Srikanth — he’s had to face several challenges all his life, including rejection from his peers at his village school. As he grew older, he started taking on larger challenges. He was rejected despite having scored well in the entrance test, merely because he was blind. But he managed to use his excellent academic records to gain admission into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from where he graduated in 2012. He returned to India soon after, and decided to start a company that would employ people who had struggled like himself in life.

　　Srikanth said, “Compassion(憐憫) is showing somebody the way to live and giving them the opportunity to thrive. Show compassion and make people rich. Include people in your life and remove loneliness, and lastly, do something good; it will come back to you.”

　　24. From Paragraph 1 and 2, we learn that Srikanth owes his success to his _________.

　　A. parents B. luck C. hard work D. friends and relatives

　　A. refused any rejection and started a company

　　B. faced more rejections and tried to overcome them

　　C. got a lot of friendly assistance when facing challenges

　　D. showed great compassion and gave opportunities to the rich

　　27. Which can be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Blind man built company worth millions

　　B. How parents raised a successful child

　　C. How compassion makes people rich

　　D. The whole life of Srikanth Bolla

　　Previous studies have suggested as many as 70 percent of college students get insufficient(不充足的`)sleep. But new data released today that analyzed sleep habits of college-age users of Jawbone’s UP fitness tracker suggests otherwise.

　　Jawbone looked at sleep data from college-age users who wear the company’s UP fitness trackers and found that they actually average just over 7 hours of sleep per night on weekdays and 7.38 hours on weekend nights. The data comes from 18,498 college-age users from 137 schools across the country who wear the device and accounts for 1.44 million nights of sleep data recorded by those individuals between 2013 and 2016. Here are four more points about the research:

　　1. People at high-achieving schools tended to have later bedtimes

　　The data analytics team at Jawbone was also able to separate out sleep data for each school with UP wearers reporting data. They found that the tougher the school, according to the U.S. News ranking, the later the average college-age UP wearer at that school goes to bed.

　　2. Still, 7 hours may not be enough sleep

　　While the data from Jawbone may be encouraging, considering that previous research has found that some students sleep only 5.7 hours a night on average. But Neil Kline, a sleep physician, points out that even this higher number isn’t sufficient. “There is much data that suggests that this age group needs more than seven or 7.5 hours of sleep on average per night,” Kline claimed.

　　3. The data doesn’t include naps

　　Another point, Kline said, is that the data doesn’t include naps. Total daytime sleep — napping — tends to be difficult to account for because naps can be short and easily forgotten, he said. But they do affect total sleep.

　　4. Fitness-tracking students aren’t exactly the norm

　　It’s also important to note that the data from Jawbone comes from college-age people who purchased and used Jawbone UP fitness tracking devices, which means that the participants in this research do not necessarily make up a representative sample(樣本)of college students in terms of socioeconomic status or lifestyle factors.

　　28. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?

　　A. New data has the same results as the previous one.

　　B. New data and the previous one have many things in common.

　　C. New data from Jawbone may astonish most college students.

　　D. New data suggests that college students spend more time sleeping.

　　29. According to the new data, a student who does well in academic performance may probably sleep ________.

　　A. less than 5.7 hours a night

　　B. less than 7.5 hours a night

　　C. early at night

　　D. over the night

　　30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. The sample of college students is far from enough.

　　B. College students usually don’t have naps at all.

　　C. College students sleep only 5.7 hours a night on average.

　　D. Every college student across the country takes part in the research.

　　31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

　　A. To show the importance of sufficient sleep at night.

　　B. To explain why college students can’t get sufficient sleep.

　　C. To tell readers some data about college students’ sleep per night.

　　D. To offer c ollege students some tips on handling insufficient sleep.

　　The Hollywood film, “The Martian”, opens to U.S. audiences on October 2. Actor Matt Damon stars as an astronaut left alone on Mars. His crew returned to Earth thinking he had died in a windstorm. Damon's character, Mark Watney, must survive with few supplies and somehow get a message to Earth that he is alive.

　　The plan to release the movie this week was some lucky timing. On Monday, the U.S. space agency NASA announced it had found strong evidence of liquid water on Mars. That again raised the possibility that, with liquid water, there could be life.

　　NASA also took a part in the development of “The Martian”. Director Ridley Scott and Ma tt Damon reached out to agency officials for help to make the story as scientific as possible.

　　So how scientifically accurate is “The Martian”? Jeffrey Luger of Time magazine tried to answer that question. He pointed out two of the biggest falsehoods of the film. The first, Mr. Luger writes, is central to the story: a powerful, dangerous windstorm that forces the space crew to leave the planet. The very low density atmosphere of Mars, Mr. Luger argues, could not create a storm like that. Mr. Luger also has trouble with the lack of danger from radiation on Mars. He notes that the six-month trip to Mars alone would expose the astronaut to 15 times more radiation than is permitted for nuclear energy workers in a year.

　　But Popular Science reported much realism in the details. Science writer Sarah Fecht points to Astronaut Watney’s struggle to work in astronaut clothing, especially the gloves. And, an expert she spoke with said the stiff gloves are a real problem. They are very difficult to bend.

　　“The Martian” is receiving excellent reviews from top critics. Anne Hornaday calls it a “spirited example of how cool scie nce can be”. Mike D’Angelo describes “The Martian” as a “celebration of our ability to solve even the most difficult problems”.

　　32. In “The Martian”, Mark Watney .

　　A. had no food to eat

　　B. was left alone on Mars

　　C. had to stay on Mars for good

　　D. couldn’t send a message to earth

　　33. From the passage, we know that NASA .

　　A. has already found life on mars

　　B. has a plan to send human beings to the Mars

　　C. played a role in producing “The Martian”

　　D. thought “The Martian” is scientifically inaccurate

　　34. According to Jeffrey Luger, which of the following is a falsehood of “The Martian”?

　　A. Watney’s struggle to work in astronaut clothing is untrue.

　　B. The space crew had to leave Mars because of lack of oxygen.

　　C. The low density atmosphere of Mars produced a smaller storm.

　　D. Radiation on Mars seemed to have little effect on Watney’s health.

　　3 5. We can infer from the passage that .

　　A. “The Martian” is a science-fiction film

　　B. “The Martian” is a film about colorful life on Mars

　　C. “The Martian” is likely to win an Oscar Award

　　D. NASA uses “The Martian” to help people understand Mars

　　第二節(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)

　　根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

　　Five activities you can practice easily on Earth Day

　　Leave your cars at home

　　Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. 36

　　Other greener options are carpooling, riding a bike or you can also walk if you want a healthier option and if your workplace is not that far away from your home.

　　Be a little dirty

　　37 We simply mean to say, don't take a bath. Yes, conservation of water is super essential. A day or two without a bath won't harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good to our planet. A daily shower isn't a matter of health; it's a matter of comfort. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.

　　This is one of the best things you can do. Why? Because it will do you good too. Join other like-minded individuals in a common task. If you have the time, there are lots of opportunities out there to pitch in, for instance, planting trees, cleaning a park or simply coming up with ways you can preserve mother Earth.

　　Green-up your home

　　This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is, switch off their lights. 39 Conserve energy by switching off all power and/or electricity points whenever they are not in use. In addition, take out all the plugs from plug points even after switching them off.

　　Pledge(保證)to do more every day

　　You know what the best way to celebrate Earth Day is? Extend your celebrations. That’s right! Do something every day that will improve your surroundings to make the planet a better place to live in. 40

　　The future of our planet is in your hands!

　　A. Volunteer yourself.

　　B. Turn down the heat.

　　C. No, we don’t mean it “that” way.

　　D. Travelling via public transport is the better option.

　　E. Always remember that every step, every little bit counts.

　　F. However, this is not something you should do just for a day and for only an hour.

　　G. Our product choices, packaging and recycling are all areas that affect our homes.
