Recent research has provided techniques to significantly improve short-term and long-term memory.
Short-term memory can be improved by rote rehearsal and chunking. Rote rehearsal involves 1 going
over something in your head, and chunking is a method of organizing long lists into chunks of seven or
fewer. Long-term memory can be improved by organizing material for 2 associating. In other words,
the more associations made between new information and information already known, the more 3 you’ll
remember. Another organizing technique is mnemonics, or the use of memory-aiding 4 . An example
of a mnemonic device is using the acronym HOMES as a 5 to recall the names of the five Great
Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior. Memory, then, can be improved by using these
simple methods.

In past ages human destruction of the environment may have been so severe that great civilizations
were destroyed. The fall of the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, 6 in the lush river basin of the
Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, has usually been attributed to outside invaders. More recent information, 7 ,
indicates that these civilizations in the Fertile Crescent may have fallen victim to increasing environmental
stress that eventually reduced their food supplies and weakened their economies. Those ancient civilizations

food supply. Their irrigation systems had no drainage, though. Water would 9 during irrigation, leaving
the remaining water with a higher salt content. 10 the centuries, then, the land eventually became

According to Margaret Mead, children typically pass through three stages in developing a self: an
imitation state, a play stage, and a game stage. In the first stage, children imitate other people without
understanding what they are doing. They may “read” a book, but the behavior lacks meaning for them.
Even so, such imitation is important because children are preparing themselves to take the stance of
others and acting as others do. In the play stage, children act such roles as mother, police officer, teacher,
Mrs. Elliot, and so on. They take the role of only one other person at a time and “try on” the person’s
behavior. The model, typically a person central to the child’s life, is termed by sociologist a significant
other. For instance, a two-year-old child may examine a doll’s pants, pretend to find them wet, and
reprimand the doll. Presumably the child views the situation from the perspective of the parent and acts as
the parent would act.
In the play stage, children take the role of only one other person at a time, whereas in the game stage
they assume many roles. Much as in a baseball game, a person must take into account the intentions and
expectations of several people. For instance, if the batter bunts the ball down the third-base line, the
pitcher must know what the catcher, the shortstop, and the first, second, and, third basemen will do.
In the game stage, children must assume the roles of numerous individuals in contrast to simply the
role of one other person. To do so, they must abstract a “composite” role out of the concrete roles of
particular people. These notions are extended to embrace all people in similar situations—the “team.” In
other words, children fashion a generalized other—they come to view their behavior from the standpoint
of a larger group or community.

21-25 題為題組
The temples of Abu Simbel are located at southernmost points of ancient Egyptian civilization along
the Nile. These date back to RomsesⅡ’s rule, and are among the most spectacular remains of antiquity.
The Great Temple stretches deep into the rock from which it is cut for almost 60 meters. Its facade bears
four sacred statues, more than 20 meters high, on thrones, and depicting the pharaoh surrounded by
smaller images of his mother, wife and sons. Inside is an entrance, a central hall flanked by eight statues
of the king in two rows and decorated with friezes illustrating the sovereign’s military campaign. Naturally
smaller is the nearby temple dedicated to his wife, Nefertari (also known as the temple of Hathor) with its
facade embellished by six statues, 12 meters high, of the royal family, with entrance shrine and hypostyle
hall.
Twice a year, on October 22th and February 22th, the rays of the sun would penetrate the sanctuary
and illuminate the three of the four statues (Amon, the deified Ramses and Harmakhis) placed in the
Great Temple’s shrine, except for the statue of Ptah, a god connected with the underworld, who always
remained in the dark. These dates are allegedly the king’s birthday and coronation day respectively.
Although there is no direct evidence to support this, it is logical to assume that these dates have some
relation to a great event, such as the jubilee celebrating the anniversary of the pharaoh’s rule.
The fame of both monuments derives not so much from their great beauty but from the events they
have withstood. With the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s, the temples were threatened
with submersion under the rising waters of the reservoir, Lake Nassar. Between 1964 and 1966, a project
sponsored by UNESCO and the Egyptian government disassembled both temples and reconstructed them
on top of the cliff sixty meters above the original site. In an unparalleled feat of engineering, the temple of
Abu Simbel could at last be admired for all its beauty and grandness by the world.

26-30 題為題組
The autonomic nerve system is composed of all the neurons that carry messages between the central
nervous system and all the internal organs of the body. The autonomic nervous system consists of two
branches: the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. These two divisions act in almost total opposition
to each other, but both are directly involved in controlling and integrating the actions of the glands and
the smooth muscles within the body.
The nerve fibers of the sympathetic division are busiest when you are frightened or angry. They carry
messages that tell the body to prepare for an emergency and to get ready to act quickly or strenuously. In
response to messages from the sympathetic division, your heart pounds, you breathe faster, your pupils
enlarge, and digestion stops.
Parasympathetic nerve fibers connect to the same organs as the sympathetic nerve fibers, but they
cause just the opposite effects. The parasympathetic division says, in effect, “Okay, the heat’s off, back to
normal.” The heart then goes back to beating at its normal rate, the stomach muscles relax, digestion starts
again, breathing slows down, and the pupils of the eyes get smaller. Thus, the parasympathetic division
compensates for the sympathetic division and lets the body rest after stress.
