Transmigration of souls, sometimes called metempsychosis, is based on the 1
idea that a soul may pass out of one body and reside in another, human or animal,
or in an inanimate object. The idea appears in various forms in tribal cultures in
many parts of the world. The notion was familiar in ancient Greece, and was
adopted in a philosophical form by Plato. The belief gained some currency in gnostic
and occult forms of Christianity and Judaism and was introduced into Renaissance 6
thought by the recovery of the Hermetic books.
The most fully articulated doctrine of transmigration is found in Hinduism.
Central to the conception of human destiny after death was the belief that human
beings are born and die many times. Souls are regarded as emanations of the divine spirit.
Each soul passes from one body to another in a continuous cycle of births 11
and deaths, its condition in each existence being determined by its actions in
previous births. Thus, transmigration is closely interwoven with the concept of
karma, which involves the inevitable working out, for good or ill, of all action in a
future existence. The whole experience of life, whether of happiness or sorrow, is a
just reward for deeds, good or bad, done in earlier existences. The cycle of karma 16

and transmigration may extend through innumerable lives; the ultimate goal is the 17
reabsorption of the soul into the ocean of divinity whence it came. This union
occurs when the individual realizes the truth about the soul and the Absolute (Brahman) and
the soul becomes one with Brahman.
The idea of transmigration has been propagated in the Western world by 21
movements such as theosophy and by the more recent increase of Oriental religious
cults. Most of these Westernized versions appear to lack the intellectual rigor and
philosophical content of the classical Hindu doctrine.

(A) transmigration of souls is not in the mainstream of Judeo-Christian philosophy.

(D) metempsychosis is a mental disorder characterized by fervent beliefs in specious
concepts.

44~50 題行數
Bathed in estrogen in the womb, all fetuses begin life as females. The male 1
of the species is created about two months after conception when a burst of
testosterone produces the masculine sex organs. With no need for such a
cataclysmic event to create her primary sexual infrastructure, the female
experiences her first hormonal surge at puberty when an upswing in estrogen
ripens her reproductive tract and proclaims her maturity to the world by 6
producing breasts and the monthly cycle whose advent, in all cultures, is
recognized as a major life event.
Estrogen, then, is the source of womanhood. But it also plays a central, and
rather surprising, role in women’s health beyond reproduction. It has been shown
to promote certain diseases like cancers of the breast and endometrium and to 11
ward off others like heart disease and osteoporosis. Indeed, researchers are
beginning to see estrogen as a powerful elixir, affecting the growth of a woman’s
cells, her bone density, her cholesterol levels, her youthfulness, and even her
perception and coordination. Yet, as medical science is discovering its many roles
in a woman’s life, society is blithely attempting to ignore estrogen’s signals. 16
For all its attractions, the life of the modern woman runs directly counter to
the impulses of the hormones and to the ways of the female ancestors. Never
before in history have women come into puberty so early, yet borne so few
children, had those children so late and then lived so long after menopause.
Yet women are attempting to reforge their identities as if their essential body 21
chemistry had no bearing on the matter, as if womanhood had no biological
definition. The truth is, all human beings are shaped by their hormones as surely
as life is powered by the sun.

44. The best title for this passage would be
(A) “The Effects of Hormones on Male Development.”
(B) “The Effects of Hormones on Fetuses.”
(C) “The Role of Hormones in Determining Sex.”
(D) “The Role of Estrogen in Women’s Lives.”

(A) women today are more in tune with their hormones than ever before.
(B) increased levels of female hormones account for increased longevity in modern women.
(C) modern women’s biological clocks are out of phase with the realities of their lives.
