When you first meet Meggie, you may think she’s strange. She often tells people which word “tastes” good and who has a “delicious” name. But she’s not crazy. She has synesthesia, something only one in 2,000 people has.
People who have synesthesia experience the world differently. For some people, different words “taste” differently, for some, numbers or letters have colors, and for some, music “touches” parts of their bodies. Many of them experience more than one kind of synesthesia, while some have just one, like Meggie.
Each of them has their individual experience – two people with synesthesia may both “feel” music, but they almost never feel the music in the same way. For example, one may feel the music of the violin lightly brushing his face； the other may feel it on her ankle. And one’s experience of synesthesia is always the same. If they see the number 5 in the color blue, then 5 is blue every time they see it.
There’s one thing about synesthesia: it can’t be “turned off.” If you have synesthesia, you’ll experience it all the time. Meggie once met a guy and his name made her think of the taste of bad eggs. He was a fun guy, but after thinking about his name all night, she felt too sick to be friends with him. Even so, she still likes this “gift” because that’s what makes her different.

【題組】31. What is the reading mostly about?
(A) Why people have synesthesia.
(B) What it is like to have synesthesia.
(C) What kinds of synesthesia there are.
(D) How to help people with synesthesia.

11(　).

【題組】34. Which sentence may Meggie say when she tells you about her experience of synesthesia?
(A) “The name Laura is in bright purple.”
(B) “The sound of drums touches my back.”
(C) “The word zero tastes like a green apple.”
(D) “The taste of fish appears as a green cloud.”

Karl : Wow! Shin, your lunch looks so good. Did you make it yourself?

Shin : No, our wife made it.

Karl : What?!

Shin : Oh, sorry. I meant “my” wife. That’s a mistake we Koreans sometimes make when speaking English. In Korean, we often say uri to mean “my,” although the word really means “our.”

Karl : Interesting!

Shin : In Korea, people use the word uri to talk about a common thing they have and don’t share with others.

Karl : So, you don’t feel comfortable saying “my” wife? But you are the only person who is married to her.

Shin : Well, saying “my wife” would sound like I’m the only person who has a wife. But of course that’s not true — many people have wives.

Karl : I see. How about things like cellphones? You don’t feel comfortable saying “my cellphone” either?

Shin : Well, no. However, we also use uri when something’s shared by a group of people, just like in English. When we Koreans speak English, we would say “our country” because, for us, saying “my country” sounds like I own the country myself.

Karl : So, there isn’t a word for “my” in Korean?

Shin : Yes, we have the word nae, but we seldom use it — if you say nae, it sounds like you only think about yourself.

Karl : Then, I guess the English world isn’t very friendly to you. Everything is “my, my, my.”

Shin : Yeah . . . maybe a little.

Karl : But you know I’m not like that when I say “my,” right? You’re “my” friend and I care about you.

Shin : I know.

【題組】35. Why did Shin say “our wife made it” when Karl asked him who made his lunch?
(A) Korean does not have a word that means “my”.
(B) Shin’s and Karl’s wives made the lunch together.
(C) He thought some Korean words changed meanings when they are used in English.
(D) He followed a common rule of the Korean language when he was speaking English.

　Since the first case of “Cow Cold” was reported in Kirk State in June,
this killer cold has moved up north faster than we thought it would. By July,
almost every part of the country had been attacked by Cow Cold. In only
two months, the number of dead cows has risen to 5,000. Though Cow Cold
started in the south, the east of the country is the worst hit area. By this week,
80% of the farms in Osten State have reported cases of Cow Cold.
　　The sale of milk in Osten State has slumped because of Cow Cold. Before
Cow Cold, the sale of milk in Osten State was $2.5 million each week; now it is
less than $500,000.
　　Odin State is the only area in the north without cases of Cow Cold.
Before we know how to deal with Cow Cold, we can only hope Odin State will
be lucky enough not to experience the power of this killer cold.
