(一) Prior to the invention of writing, our ancestors had to rely on memory, sketches, or music to encode and preserve important information. Memory is fallible, of course, but not because of storage limitations so much as retrieval limitations. Some neuroscientists believe that nearly every conscious experience is stored somewhere in your brain; the hard part is finding it and pulling it out again. Sometimes the information that comes out is incomplete, distorted, or misleading.（10 分）

(二) For readers of books, reading letters on a page is only one of its many guises. The astronomer reading a map of stars that no longer exist; the Japanese architect reading the land on which a house is to be built so as to guard it from evil forces; the zoologist reading the spoor of animals in the forest; the Chinese fortune-teller reading the ancient marks on the shell of a tortoise; the psychiatrist helping patients read their own bewildering dreams; the Hawaiian fisherman reading the ocean currents by plunging a hand into the water—all these share with book-readers the craft of deciphering and translating signs.（10 分）

(一)音樂能夠讓人快樂無須爭辯，使人感到快樂的神經化學物質也能夠增強免疫系統。可是，人和喜悅有關的神經生理機制非常複雜。人腦的確有獨立的「愉悅中樞」，但還有很多不同的神經傳導物質與其他腦區會促成愉悅感。在研究方面，雖然很多個案顯示音樂對病人有正面影響，有時效應甚至十分驚人，但真正進行實驗並加以記錄的文獻非常少。大量的軼事令人印象深刻，但無法構成科學研究證明。（15 分）

(二)我最近強烈意識到提出「對的問題」的價值。我們往往只是制式化地溝通，只接觸到表面。對我來說更有意義的是深入發掘一個人行為背後的原因及動機。特別是在溝通時，真心地詢問對方有什麼感受、為什麼會做某些行為，你會得到相當不一樣的觀點。（15 分）
