For the last decade, Pennebaker has pioneered research on the role of confession in health. He found that not only
talking but also writing about traumas can be healing. “Just putting upsetting experiences into words,” he explains, “has
profound psychological and physical benefits for our participants.”
Trauma, it seems, is the great leveler. Few of us escape it, even in our first two decades of life. Moreover, the recovery
movement of the 1980s and 1990s has taught us that we as a society have kept a smothering blanket of secrecy over our
traumas, covering up the truth in order to protect others and protect ourselves from pain. We’re learning that speaking out
often ends the cycle of abuse and liberates us from both pain and isolation. Pennebaker’s writing method, while not a public
form of confession, is a personal form of acknowledgment, emotional expression, and completion. Pennebaker says that
the writing method works because people confide both to others (namely, the psychologists who read the essays) and to
themselves. In fact, he believes that confiding one’s deepest thoughts and feelings to one’s self is perhaps the most healing
aspect of his technique.
【題組】47 The traditional treatment of traumas is to _____.
(A) provide warm blankets for victims (B) seek help from family and friends
(C) discuss the pain privately (D) avoid talking about it
36 It is sad for us to know that many mothers and babies die through childbirth_____ caused by the size of the head.

I have referred in passing to the difficult tasks assumed by the Greek Archaeological Service, and I hope that it will
not seem too presumptuous if I further enlarge on them. The unselective preservation of Greece’s material heritage, which
is a cause so estimable in principle that almost nobody would speak in public against it, has brought about another, less
obvious, crisis. The historically conscious visitors to Greece today are rightly impressed by the steady increase in the
number of local museums and in the quality of exhibition. What they may not appreciate—and I think that this is true
even of classicists and other “professionals” who are not archaeologists—is that what is actually displayed is merely the
beautiful tip of an unsightly iceberg. Almost every museum in Greece is compelled to conceal in its storerooms a mass,
growing year by year at an alarming pace, of materials unsuited to exhibition; these artifacts are often undocumented and
sometimes destined to remain so.
If the Archaeological Service were rewarded, either in salaries or in manpower, on a scale that bears some faint
relation to the colossal contribution that its activities make to the nation’s tourist industry, then one could look ahead to a
possible reduction of the pressure. If we cannot change the current policy, the only prospect is that it will rapidly increase:
even to keep pace with the rate of growth in the “submerged nine-tenths” of its holdings, the service would need an
increase in manpower. Much of the material has to be stored in improvised accommodation, which proves to be difficult
of access for researches; meanwhile, its keepers are distracted by the ever more persistent demands of emergency
excavation. 【題組】43 If the government maintains the current policy, according to the author, what more support does the Greek
Archaeological Service require?
(A)Excavation (B)Manpower (C)Storerooms (D)Vehicles

The Saisiyat people—one of Taiwan’s officially recognized aboriginal groups—have a unique ritual ceremony called
Pas-ta’al. That ceremony is said to have been carried out for as many as 400 years. Today, it takes place every two years.
And every ten years, it is larger and takes on added significance. The most recent ten-year ceremony was held in 2006 at
two complementary and overlapping sites in northern Taiwan during the full moon of the 10th lunar month.
Thousands gathered for the first day of the ceremony in Wufeng, Hsinchu County. Tourists from all over the island
joined the local villagers in the elaborate ceremony in an open field. Men and women were dancing and singing, arms
crossed, hand-in-hand, and moving in and out of a huge circle. Native Saisiyat people all wore bright red and white
traditional costumes with intricate weaving and beading. Some had ornate decorations at the back, from which hung
mirrors, beads, and bells that rang and clanged as the dancers moved. Tourists were welcome but were asked to stay away
from particular areas where secret rituals were performed by village elders. They were also advised to tie Japanese silver
grass around their arms, cameras, and recorders. 【題組】
