(四)閱讀測驗 Good news for chocoholics: the treat preferred by millions all over the world is good for you, according to American researchers at the University of California. Chocolate contains substances called flavonoids that can help maintain a healthy heart and good circulation. The researchers have discovered that cocoaacts like aspirin and that eating a bar of chocolate has also been shown to release endorphins in the body: these chemicals help to reduce pain and stress and make you feel happy. The Olmec Indians of Mexico and Central America were the first to grow cocoa beans, in about 1500 BC, and the Mayas were drinking unsweetened coca hundreds of years before it became fashionable in Europe. In 1544, a delegation of Mayan nobles visited Philip of Spain and gave him jars of cocoa as a gift. Cocoa soon became fashionable in Spain and Portugal. The Spanish were the first to add sugar to their cocoa drink. By the middle of the century, solid chocolate was becoming familiar. In 1765, James Baker opened the first chocolate mill in the United States, introducing chocolate to the average citizen. In 1896, in Switzerland, Daniel Peter had the idea of adding milk in the chocolate-making process and produced the first milk chocolate. Since then, chocolate has grown enormously in popularity. One of the biggest chocolate-eating nations is Britain where the average man, women, and child eats nine kilos of chocolate a year. In fact, chocolate is the number one comfort food and there are more chocoholics in Britain than anywhere else in the world. Researchers warn that although chocolate is good for you, it should be eaten in small quantities—and with no added milk.

    The English language has many expressions about the weather。One famous phrase is,“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." In many western countries early March is a time of cold and windy weather. People compare this wild weather to a wild lion. In contrast,the weather in later March tends to be far milder. People compare this gentle weather with a lamb.

    Another famous phrase says that,“April showers bring May flowers."While the weather in April is often rainy, the phrase reminds people that the rain will bring benefits in the end. Without the rain,the beautiful wild flowers that grow in May would not grow。

    Have you ever heard the phrase, “Red sky at night,shepherd's delight, red sky in the morning, shepherds take warning”? The phrase is actually a surprisingly accurate way of forecasting the weather. When the sky is red at night,it often means good weather Is on the way。As a result,shepherds — farmers who take care of sheep - will be happy. In contrast,a red sky in the morning often means bad weather is on the way. Shepherds and others who work outside should take a red sky in the morning as a serious warning.

四、閱讀測驗 Hello, and welcome to Business Talk. This month we’re looking at the role of ethics in business. According to Richard Reed, co-founder of Innocent Drinks, the company behind award-winning fruit-based smoothies, ethics are fundamental to the company’s success. Innocent says that, as well as making money, the objective is always to leave things a little bit better than it finds them, an inspiring way to approach business. So, how did the success of Innocent all begin? Innocent was founded back in 1998 by Richard and two friends from Cambridge University. They decided to set up a business together and spent £500 on fruit to make smoothies to sell at a music festival. A sign above their stall said ‘Should we give up our jobs to make these smoothies?’ They asked people to put their empty bottles in one of two bins marked ‘Yes’ and ‘No’. At the end of the festival the ‘Yes’ bin was full, so they went into work the next day and resigned. Innocent continues to innovate and the product range now consists of vegetable pots and other healthy, natural products as well as smoothies, and the company is constantly working on new lines. Innocent sells to over 10,000 retailers in 13 European countries, and its market is constantly growing. So what is it that makes Innocent an ethical company? Apart from only using packaging that can be recycled, it uses only 100% natural products and each year gives 10% of its profits to charities in the countries where its fruit comes from. Innocent wasn’t the first company to tap into the fruit market, but it was one of the first. It’s always important to be different from the competition and, with Innocent, the combination of ethics and clever marketing is a recipe for success.
