Below is part of a new shopping center’s market report.

Our busiest time is weekend afternoons, between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. About half the business of the week is done then. So it would be better if we move Weekend’s Best Buy from Saturday evening to Saturday afternoon when there may be more shoppers during the sale. We should also think about having more free buses during the weekend, as 75% of the shoppers who were interviewed said two buses an hour are just not enough.

Weekend evenings are second busiest, though it is not as good as last season. An interesting fact is that business is better on weekday evenings, usually one hour before closing, than on weekend mornings. Most of the shoppers then are people who live near or working parents who do their last-minute shopping. They together make up almost 60% of the business on weekday evenings. It might bring in more business if we open half an hour longer during weekdays, until 10:30 p.m.

Kelly: Have you read the news about the Ciné Prize nominations?

Eunice: Yeah. I can’t believe Took Off got the most nominations. It’s not that good.

Kelly: Please! It’s the best movie of the year! The actors are great, and the story is wonderful. Tony Baker is so great in it! I believe he will finally win the Best Actor this time.

Eunice: Well, I like Hugh Wayne better. He’s so cute in Morning Star.

Kelly: He’s lucky enough to get the nomination. But a pretty face can only get him so far.

Eunice: At least Morning Star is selling more tickets than Took Off !

Kelly: OK. Let’s not talk about Wayne. Who do you think will win the Best Actress?

Kelly: I’m glad we’re on the same page about this. Many people think Julia does very well in Roses, and she has become the talk of the Internet these days. I’m sure she’ll be the winner!

Guesses about Carolyn Cole have been flying around since last week, and now things have taken a new turn.

Last week Carolyn Cole won the Inscriber Prize, the country’s biggest book prize, with her book Paper Soldier. Cole herself did not show up for the prize. It was not only the first time in history that a first-time writer won the prize, but also the first time that the winner did not appear.

Now here comes another “first time” for the Inscriber: Cole is not real. “She” is in fact Thomas Goode. Goode is known for his picture books. His best-known book, Blue Moon, won him two national book prizes and sold over one million copies.

Goode had tried to write “serious” books before. His first try was Parent, which came out in 2006. Sadly, Goode’s big name did not help, and there was little interest in Parent. Goode’s friend told NBN that he wanted to write a book under a different name. Goode thought that people might treat his book seriously if they did not know it was from a picture book writer.

For the moment, there has been no word from Goode yet.

【題組】40. What can we learn about Thomas Goode?
(A) He has won the Inscriber Prize twice.
(B) He told NBN that Paper Solider was his work.
(C) He wants to be more than just a picture book writer.
(D) His life as a picture book writer has not been successful.

Sometimes when the rain falls hard and fast on you, it might hurt a little. But what happens when it hits a mosquito? A 2012 study says when a raindrop falls on a mosquito, it’s like when a bus hits a person. Besides, the little insect is hit by a raindrop about once every 20 seconds. So why don’t we see many dead mosquitoes after it rains?

A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much lighter—0.002 g only. This saves its life in raindrop attacks. Because the mosquito is so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won’t experience a force that is strong enough to kill it.

The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it. But the mosquito doesn’t get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water. After dropping about 6 cm, it will roll off the raindrop and fly away.

However, this trick isn’t always successful. If the mosquito flies too low when it is hit by the raindrop, it won’t have time to fly off. Then it will hit the ground and meet its death.

【題組】32. When would it be dangerous for a mosquito in the rain?
(A) When it flies too close to the ground.
(B) When the rain falls too hard and too fast.
(C) When it is hit by raindrops too many times.
(D)When it drops for more than 6 cm in the rain.

Here is the preface of Nick Foster’s new book Married to Food. Preface
My mother was lousy at cooking. To her, cooking was more like an exciting experiment. You put some of this and some of that in a pot, and you wait and see what will happen. “No experiments, no experiences.” is what she would say when her experiment did not turn out good, and I heard that a lot.
My father was a good cook, and he loved to cook, too. He often said that he got my mother to marry him with a table of delicious food, not with a beautiful ring. “A family needs only one good cook,” he said.
Now I am a cook myself. And I have my own restaurant. I learned how to cook from my father, of course. From him, I learned the art of cooking. But I did learn one thing from my mother. It’s her famous saying: “No experiments, no experiences.”

(A) How Foster started his own restaurant.
(B) When Foster’s father married Foster’s mother.
(C) What Foster’s mother taught him about cooking.
