IV. 閱讀測驗30%:請根據文章,選出一個最恰當的答案。
(1) Having trouble sleeping? Or maybe you've got a bad habit, like chewing your fingernails? You might want to give hypnosis a try. Hypnosis is a mental state, kind of like a dream, caused by a procedure called induction. We've all seen it in the movies: the hypnotist moves a watch back and forth in front of the person he or she wishes to hypnotize and says, "You are getting sleepy." But this can be done with a few words or even a picture. And according to recent studies, hypnosis does work in certain cases. In one experiment that 6,000 people were tested, researchers found it was twice as effective as nicotine gum for helping people quit smoking. Certain athletes, such as Tiger Woods, have also used hypnosis to improve their games. Even if hypnosis doesn't work, you don't have to worry about side effects. Still, some people believe a hypnotist can control your mind after you've woken up. If you're worried about this, it's probably not for you. If you're not, it could help you with something that has been troubling you.
31. According to the article, what is induction?
(A) How people are hypnotized
(B) After people are hypnotized
(C) When someone wakes up from hypnosis
(D) When people need to be hypnotized

32. Which of the following statements is correct?
    (A) There are several ways to hypnotize someone.
    (B) Hypnosis is the same as a dream.
    (C) People's eyes remain open when they are hypnotized.
    (D) People can only be hypnotized by a watch.

33. What did researchers find out?
    (A) Hypnosis did not work well on golf players.
    (B) Hypnosis works better than nicotine gum.
    (C) Nicotine gum does not work on quitting smoking.
    (D) Six thousand people successfully quit smoking by hypnosis.

34. Which statement would the writer agree with?
    (A) Hypnosis is not considered a treatment.
    (B) Hypnosis is probably suitable for everyone.
    (C) If you have doubts, do not try hypnosis.
    (D) Tiger Woods adopted hypnosis to help him win.

(2) As more and more people have become concerned about protecting the environment, businesses have started to look for ways to provide sustainable packaging for their products. However, there are many challenges in finding materials that are truly sustainable and that can make a positive difference for the environment.
Supporters of sustainable packaging want companies to use materials and methods that are completely friendly to the environment. For example, some businesses now use recyclable paper packaging materials that can then be recycled again. Wal-Mart, one of the world's largest companies, has begun grading its suppliers on their use of sustainable packaging. The store might even begin to pay more for products that meet its guidelines.
However, some environmentalists worry that the movement towards sustainable packaging does not go far enough. In addition to recycled products, supporters of sustainable packaging would like companies to choose materials that are made with the use of renewable energy sources. Many critics have complained about the new plastic water bottle used by Poland Spring. Although the bottle is made with 30 percent less plastic than normal, it still takes great amounts of energy to make the plastic itself. Instead, environmentalists encourage people to drink tap water, which is free, widely available, and requires no packaging.
The movement towards completely sustainable packaging is still new, and it holds the promise of many innovative developments. As consumers become more concerned about protecting the earth's natural resources, companies should work harder to develop packaging that has little or no negative environmental impact.
