Passage B

Most musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Gremona, Italy, about 200 years ago.

These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today.

Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments(樂器) like the Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.

Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins from Gremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.

The people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees. But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.

Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish(漆). Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian makers used in their varnish.

Passage C

Scientists have found that shopping daily can help one live longer. The research was done on 1,850 elderly people who were living alone at home. They were asked how often they went shopping, with choices from never to every day.

Nearly half of them never or seldom shopped during the week, and around one in four shopped between two and four times a week. A further 17% shopped every day, and the rest shopped just once a week. Almost two thirds of them were under the age of 75. Just over a half were men.

Those who went shopping more than once a week were men and between the ages of 65 and 70. They were also smokers and drinkers, who had better health, took exercise every day and had a lot of friends. Those who shopped daily lived longer than those who shopped less often. Those who shopped daily were 27% less likely to die, with men daily shoppers 28% less likely to die and women shoppers 23% less likely to die.

The researchers said that shopping could be a good method for good health to begin with, but suggested that shopping itself may improve health, by having a good supply of food to keep healthy meals, for example.

Shopping among the elderly may not always be about buying things, but about looking for friends or taking exercise, which is easier to do than more formal exercise that usually requires interest and energy.

The findings dispel the idea that good health only depends on physical activity; taking part in social activities in later life may also be good for better health.

David Oliver, a professor at City University, London, said, “The findings made sense. What the researchers have shown is that continuing to shop is good for happiness and good health.”

C. are more likely to live longer

第12題：What can be inferred from the text?

A. The elderly who give up smoking will enjoy buying things.

B. Old people should go out shopping instead of taking exercise.

C. Shopping will make the elderly love to think.

D. Shopping can help old people avoid loneliness.

第13題：The underlined word “dispel” in Paragraph6 can be replaced by ______.

A. put off　 B. cover up C. pick up D. throw away

第14題：Where does the text most probably appear?

A. In a research report.

Passage D
