中翻英【30 分】一份研究美國報紙所刊登訃聞(obituary)之分析結果顯示，公眾眼中的名人所從事之行業表面上光鮮炫麗，但他們似乎得付出壽命縮短之代價。例如演藝界和體育界的明星，可能比其他成功人士的壽命更短。研究人員分析了從 2009 到 2011 年美國《紐約時報》上的 1,000 人的訃聞，發現演員、歌星以及體育明星平均死亡的年齡最小，為 77 歲。有專家認為像這樣的研究並不能提供任何具結論性之答案，卻提出了有關成名代價的有趣問題：如果明星短命是真的，那麼是否意味著早年成名，一旦晚年名望消退可能更容易罹患疾病，因此導致健康不佳？或者是明星的性格特點比較愛冒險，加上吸煙、喝酒、吸毒等習慣，對晚年的健康有害？

英翻中【30 分】 According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Better Life Index, Australia ranked the world’s developed economies on criteria such as jobs, income, environment and health. The country kept the top spot for the third year running, ahead of Sweden— also known for its high living standards and robust economy— and Canada, a rival resource-exporting nation that, like Australia, has reaped the benefits of increasing Asian demand for raw materials. Australia’s high rank in the OECD index— based on data from the United Nations, individual governments and other sources— is largely due to its economy. The nation mostly sidestepped the economic woes afflicting much of the developed world after the financial crisis and has expanded for 21 years straight without a recession. Unemployment stood at 5.5% in April from 5.6% in March, compared with 12.1% in the euro zone.
