Don’t feel guilty about the breaks you’ve been sneaking at work―they could be helping you learn. Neuroscientists at MIT find that rats take a similar pause after exploring an unfamiliar maze. During that break, the animals’ brains repeatedly review a backward version of the route they just took, most likely cementing memories of the steps needed to reach the goal. David Foster and his team zero in on this process by placing tiny wires into the rats’ brains. The neurons that light up during the experiments lie in a region known to form short-term memories. But as those cells play the memory again and again―10 times faster than the original experience―the rest of the brain has lots of opportunities to absorb the information and to place it into long-term storage. This implies that it’s not just during an experience that learning occurs. The period after the experience is just as important, maybe more important. The results may explain previous studies showing that people and animals learn best when given breaks between tasks―and provide a persuasive new justification for office daydreaming.

The postage stamp has been around for only a relatively short period of time. The use of stamps for postage was first proposed in England in 1837, when Sir Rowland Hill published a pamphlet entitled “Post Office Reform: Its Importance and Practicability” to put forth two ideas. First, postal rates should not be based on the distance that a letter or package travels but should instead be based on the weight of the letter or package. Second, fees for postal service should be collected in advance of the delivery, rather than after, through the use of postage stamps. The ideas proposed by Hill went into effect in England almost immediately, and other countries soon followed suit. The first English stamp, which featured a portrait of then Queen Victoria, was printed in 1840. This stamp came in sheets that needed to be separated with scissors. It provided enough postage for a letter weighing 14 grams or less to any destination. In 1843, Brazil was the next nation to produce national postage stamps, and various areas in what is today’s Switzerland also produced postage stamps later in the same year. Postage stamps in five- and ten-cent denominations were first approved by the US Congress in 1847, and by 1860, postage stamps were being issued in more than 90 countries worldwide.

依下文回答第46 題至第 50 題

The Dublin Regulation is a European Union (EU) law that determines as quickly as possible the EU Member State responsible for examining an asylum application. The principle is that only one Member state is responsible for the application for international protection, which prevents the submission of multiple applications by one person and avoids refugees from being sent from one country to another. The country to which refugees first apply for asylum has to either accept or reject asylum, and refugees cannot restart the process in another country. Usually, the responsible Member State is the state through which the asylum seeker first enters the EU.

When an asylum seeker has illegally crossed the border into a Member State, the Member State has the responsibility to examine the asylum application. This responsibility ceases 12 months after the date on which the border has been illegally crossed. If an asylum seeker has a family member who is legally living in a Member State, the Member State is responsible for examining the application. When the asylum seeker possesses a valid visa or residence document, the Member State that issued it is responsible for examining the application. If one has more than one valid visa or residence document, the Member State that granted the longest period of residency has to be responsible for the asylum claim.

The protection of refugees has been an international responsibility since the early 1950s with the introduction of the Geneva Convention. According to Refugee Convention in 1951, any person who is under “fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion” has a right to be granted international protection. It was not until the 1980s and 1990s that refugee issues were addressed within the EU. In 1990, the Dublin Convention was established; in 2003 it grew into the Dublin II Regulation and then developed into the Dublin III Regulation in 2013.

In April 2015, five boats carrying about 2,000 migrants to Europe sank in the Mediterranean Sea, which claimed 1,200 lives. This tragedy resulted in the wide use of the term “European migrant crisis.” Under the Dublin Regulation, if one who has filed for asylum in an EU country illegally crosses borders to another country, they shall be returned to the former. In June 2015, Hungary was so overburdened by asylum applications that it refused to receive back the applicants who later crossed to another EU country. In August 2015, Germany, having been complaining the Dublin Regulation is failing, quietly stopped to enforce the regulation and processed applications from Syrians even if they have made their way through other EU countries.

【題組】47 Which is NOT a criterion to decide the country responsible for an asylum application?
(A)Whether one has financial support.
(B)Whether one possesses a valid EU visa.
(C)Whether it is the first EU country one enters.
(D)Whether one has a family member in an EU country.
