Reuben Garret Lucius Goldberg was born on July 4th 1883 in San Francisco. By the end of his lifetime in December 7th 1970, he was known as an inventor, sculptor, author, engineer and cartoonist. At a young age, he loved drawing, tracing and being creative, but this was discouraged by his parents. In 1904, he graduated with a degree in engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He was then hired as an engineer by the city of San Francisco but eventually quit to become a sports cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1907 he moved to New York where he worked for several newspapers. He soon became famous as an artist.
His cartoon strips were popular, but the work that gave him unforgettable lifelong fame was the character he created—Professor Lucifer Gorgonzola Butts. Using the character, he would illustrate inventions that later became known as the “Rube Goldberg Machine”. A “Rube Goldberg Machine” is an extremely complicated device that performs a very simple task in a complex, indirect way. This is now used as an expression to describe any system that's confusing or complicated and came from Goldbergʼs illustrations of ridiculous machines. The first illustration showing a “Rube Goldberg Machine” was an Automatic Weight Reducing Machine in 1914 using components such as a donut, bomb, wax, balloon and hot stove to trap an overweight person in a sound and food proof prison. The overweight person had to lose weight before freeing himself. He used many simple subjects and made them humorous yet very complicated. This included scratching insect bites, scrubbing your back in a bath, opening a window, collecting mail and finding a ball.
Throughout his career, Goldberg was fascinated by the advancement of technology and thought it humorous that people either embraced the benefits technology brought or were unwilling to accept new technology as it seemingly increased dependency and laziness. He personally believed people preferred choosing a more difficult route instead of completing a goal simply and directly. As he said, “the machines are a symbol of manʼs capacity for making maximum effort to achieve minimal results”. His inventions were interesting because he did the complete opposite of what most machines do—instead of making difficult things easy, he made easy things difficult.
【題組】25. Why did Reuben Goldberg draw the interesting machines?
(A) To express his distrust of modern technology.
(B) To make fun of a certain professor in his university.
(C) To show how men often made simple things more complicated.
(D) To mirror his childhood life as an overweight boy.

Recent biological research indicates that there is a biochemical basis to love, which explains why people in love feel as if they were in a more beautiful world. Psychologists such as Dr. Elaine Hatfield, Robert Sternberg and Zick Rubin posit that love consists of three or more stages. The three main stages are lust, attraction, and attachment, while some of the other stages are intimacy, trust, and jealousy. Each stage is ruled or initiated by specific hormonal controllers. In their studies, every love passes through some of these stages and occurs due to the mediation of certain molecules in these specific chemical controllers.
Biological research has shown that the hormones dominant in the different phases include testosterone and estrogen (the sexual hormones); dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin (these are the “pleasure chemicals” - the hormones invoking feelings of pleasure and excitement); and oxytocin (the “cuddle chemical” - the hormone producing feelings of attachment to another person). For example, in the second phase of attraction, when people have the feeling of being in love, the little molecule phenylethylamine (known as PEA), controlling the love chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine, can cause feelings of elation, exhilaration and euphoria. People feel excited and fulfilled.
Additionally, biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, an expert on romantic love, discusses what happens in the brain when people are in love and proposes that there is a dramatic increase in the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine present in the brain when one first becomes infatuated with another person.
【題組】37. According to the researchers, which of the following chemicals is most closely related to the feeling of being in love?
(A) testosterone
(B) oxytocin
(C) estrogen
(D) dopamine
