Mickey Mouse, the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company, is one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world. Yet, few people know that it was created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, an earlier cartoon character created by the Disney studio for Charles Mintz of Universal Studios. In the spring of 1928, with the series going strong, Disney asked Mintz for an increase in the budget. But Mintz instead demanded that Walt take a 20 percent budget cut, and as leverage, he reminded Disney that Universal owned the character, and revealed that he had already signed most of Disney's current employees to his new contract. Mintz owned Oswald and thought he had Disney over a barrel. Angrily, Disney refused the deal and returned to produce the final Oswald cartoons he contractually owed Mintz. Disney was dismayed at the betrayal by his staff, but determined to restart from scratch.
The new Disney Studio soon started. In the spring of 1928, Disney asked Ub Iwerks to start drawing up new character ideas. Iwerks tried sketches of various animals, such as dogs and cats, but none of these appealed to Disney. A female cow and male horse were also rejected. Then, Walt Disney thought of an old pet mouse he used to have on his farm. He asked Iwerks to draw a new mouse character for Disney. “Mortimer Mouse” had been Disney's original name for the character before his wife, Lillian, convinced him to change it, and ultimately Mickey Mouse came to be. Actor Mickey Rooney has claimed that, during his Mickey McGuire days, he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio, and that Disney was inspired to name Mickey Mouse after him.
【題組】40. Which of the following is true about the creation of Mickey Mouse as a cartoon character?
(A) Disney's wife convinced him to replace other animals with a mouse character.
(B) The idea of a mouse character came from Disney's old pet mouse on his farm.
(C) Iwerks had drawn many other animals before a mouse character occurred to him.
(D) Disney was inspired by actor Mickey Rooney, who he met at the Warner Brothers Studio.

請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題：

Words like stoical, practical and pragmatic are just a few words that could be applied to describe the stereotypical Spaniards. The word “superstitious” usually is not on the list. However, once a year in the run-up to Christmas, it seems that their rationality goes out the window and many people change their patterns of behavior radically for just a few weeks. To understand why, we first need to understand “the fat one.” “The fat one” refers to the 205-year-old Spanish Christmas Lottery, “El Gordo,” which is the biggest lottery in the world in terms of the total prize money on offer. Its fund structure allows many more winners than other conventional lottery draws. This hugely popular lottery draw first took place in 1812 and has been held on December 22 every year since then, even continuing through the Spanish Civil War and both World Wars. Winning numbers are drawn by children from Madrid's San Ildefonso school, which was originally a home for orphans of civil servants. The pupils deliver the results in a song by picking and singing out a lottery number from one big golden drum, and then its corresponding prize amount from the other drum. On this date, the streets of Spain are silent as everyone watches the broadcast of the El Gordo lottery draw, a love affair which can take over three hours. There are many superstitions about the El Gordo lottery tickets. Some people claim that rubbing your lottery ticket against a pregnant woman’s belly, a bald man’s head or a cat’s back will make it a winner. In the northwestern region of Galicia, lottery players hang their tickets on horseshoes. In other regions, people tuck their ticket next to a figure of the Virgin Mary. Some Spaniards believe that the key to good luck comes in the form of an actual key, so they carry an old iron key in their pocket with the lottery ticket.

【題組】46 What is this passage mainly about?
(A) Different types of Christmas lotteries in Spain.
(B) Different ways to purchase the Spanish lottery.
(C) The long history of the Spanish lottery system.
(D) The introduction and superstitions of the El Gordo lottery.

請依下文回答第 42 題至第 46 題：
Because we are living longer than ever, more psychologists and social workers have begun to study ways of caregiving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: they all feel that they can do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believed that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent. When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services, such as adult day-care centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home, so they can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to be assertive and ask for help from others, especially siblings. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do. We can expect to live longer lives than ever before. Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved.
【題組】42 According to the passage, what is the shared feature of all caregivers?
(A) They feel they have no way but to accept the job.
(B) They think the elderly will appreciate what they do.
(C) They feel they can do the job without any difficulty.
(D) They believe they can do the job better than anyone else.

22(A).

【題組】44 According to the passage, why are adult children more likely to use services from adult day-care centers?
(A) Because they often have jobs.
(B) Because they are irresponsible.
(C) Because they want to save money.
(D) Because community services are better.

The killing of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis and the shooting of Jacob Blake by police in Wisconsin have led many police departments in the US to deal with unpleasant situations they have avoided till now. As thousands have marched in the streets to protest against racial inequality, many others have also been forced to ask some difficult questions about their levels of prejudice. While some people mistake racism as being only plain prejudice, there is another crucial component that affects our decision and actions towards others: implicit bias. An implicit bias is any prejudice that has formed accidentally and without our direct knowledge – and it can often counter our obvious beliefs and behaviors. Usually, it reflects a mixture of personal experience, attitudes around us as we have grown up, and our wilder exposure to society and culture –including the books we read, television we watch and news we follow. Many police departments in the US have pointed to strategies aimed at tackling implicit bias as evidence of their attempts to root out racism from their ranks. Police departments are not alone in hoping tackling unconscious bias can bring about change. Multinational corporations have also commanded implicit bias training in response to racist incidents involving their employees.
【題組】56 Which of the following best describes what the passage is about?
(A) Implicit bias is a crucial component in racism.
(B) Police and corporations tackle racism together.

Shakespeare and Company is an English-language bookshop in Paris. It was opened in 1951 and has been a meeting place for Anglophone writers and readers 41 . Founded by American George Whitman, the bookstore was originally called Le Mistral. In 1964, Whitman renamed his store 42 a bookseller he admired, Sylvia Beach, who’d founded the original Shakespeare and Company in 1919. Through his bookstore, Whitman endeavored to carry on the spirit of Beach’s shop.
From the first day the store opened, writers, artists, and intellectuals were invited to sleep in the bookstore in various cots that are dotted around the place. These people, 43 as "tumbleweeds," have to promise to read a book a day, help at the shop for a few hours a day, and produce a one-page autobiography. American actor Ethan Hawke is among a(n) 44 30,000 people who have tumbleweeded at the store--he stayed there for six nights when he arrived in Paris at age 16.
Whitman passed away in 2011, two days before his 98th birthday. Now his daughter, Sylvia Whitman, is following in her father’s footsteps and is dedicated to keeping the spirit of the bookstore 45 . Under her direction, it should remain a center for Parisian literary life for many years to come.
