請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題 It is often said that your personal value is not what you know, but who you know. The most important lesson to learn from the best-connected 21 is that little of their networking activity is carried out with any specific business goal in mind. They 22 their effort on people they most like and who seem to like them back. However, according to Europe’s leading business networking strategist, Andy Lopata, connection is not enough. It is important also to determine how well your 23 understand what you do and then how inspired they might be to provide a referral. The chances of receiving a referral are greatly 24 if they know you have a high level of trust, and they understand exactly what you do, what problems you solve, and how you help people. Expert networkers work on the basis that if you connect with your network on mutually beneficial basis, the financial rewards will flow. Successful networking should be 25 and altruistic, giving referrals without remembering your simple favor, and receiving them without forgetting their kind gift.

Public demands and cries for vengeance disguised as justice were rampant and harrowing. Signs,rallies in front of the courthouses, editorials—all seemed unassuageable by anything less than the culprit’sbeheading. T. Jackson joined the chorus but was not impressed by so facile a solution. What he wantedwas not the man’s death, but his life afflicted with remorse and pain without end. Wasn’t there a tribe inAfrica that lashed the dead body to the back of the one who had murdered it? That would certainly bejustice—to carry the rotting corpse around as a physical burden as well as public shame and damnation.The rage, the public clamor upon the conviction of the nicest man in the world, shook him as much as hisbrother’s death. The trial itself was not long but the preliminaries seemed eternal to him. Throughout thedays of newspaper headlines, talk radio and neighborhood gossip he struggled to find some way to freezeand individualize his feelings, to separate them from the sorrow and frenzied anger of other families. Hisbrother’s calamity, he thought, was not public fare to be confined to one line in a newspaper’s list of thefew victims. It was private, belonging only to the two brothers. Two years later, a satisfactory and calmingsolution came to him. Reenacting the gesture he’d made at his brother’s funeral, he had a small rosetattooed on his left shoulder. Was this the same chair the predator sat in, the same needle used on his paste-white skin? He didn’t ask. The tattoo artist didn’t have the dazzling yellow of his memory, so they settledfor an orangish kind of red.
【題組】34 What is hinted at the end of the passage?
(A) The author had the same tattoo as his dead brother.
(B) The predator on the author’s brother was a relative of the tattoo artist.
(C) The predator was tattooed by the same artist who patterned the rose for the author.
(D) The revenge is done in a way that the author was needled with the same color as the victimizer.

In the four minutes it probably takes to read this review, you will have logged exactly half the time the average 15- to 24-year-old now spends reading each day. That is, if you even bother to finish. If you are perusing this on the Internet, the big block of text below probably seems daunting, maybe even boring. Who has the time? Such is the kind of recklessly distracted impatience that makes Mark Bauerlein fear for his country. “As of 2008,” the 49-year-old professor of English at Emory University writes in “The Dumbest Generation,” “the intellectual future of the United States looks dim.”
The way Bauerlein sees it, something new and disastrous has happened to America’s youth with the arrival of the instant gratification go-go-go digital age. The result is, essentially, a collective loss of context and history. The problem is that instead of using the Web to learn about the world, young people mostly use it to gossip about each other and follow pop culture, relentlessly keeping up with the ever-shifting lingua franca of being cool in school. Social life is a powerful temptation and most teenagers feel the pain of missing out.
And all this feeds on itself. Increasingly disconnected from the “adult” world of tradition, culture, history, context and the ability to sit down for more than five minutes with a book, today’s digital generation is becoming insulated in its own stultifying cocoon of bad spelling, civic illiteracy and endless postings that hopelessly confuse triviality with transcendence.
At fault is not just technology but also a newly indulgent attitude among parents, educators and other mentors, who, Bauerlein argues, lack the courage to risk “being labeled a curmudgeon and a reactionary.”
【題組】48 What does the word “dim” in the first paragraph mean?
(A) Pessimistic.
(B) Dark.
(C) Gossipy.
(D) Illiterate.

At the beginning of the 20th century, less than 1,000 colleges with 160,000 students existed in the US. The number of colleges skyrocketed in waves, during the early and mid 20th century. State universities grew from smallin stitutions of fewer than 1,000 students to campuses with 40,000 more students, with networks of regional campuses around the state. In turn, regional campuses broke away and became separate universities.
To handle the explosive growth of K–12 education, every state set up a network of teachers’ colleges, beginningwith Massachusetts in the 1830s. After 1950, they became state colleges and then state universities with a broad curriculum. Major new trends included the development of the junior colleges. They were usually set up by city school systems starting in the 1920s. By the 1960s they were renamed as “community colleges.”
Junior colleges grew from 20 in number in 1909, to 170 in 1919. By 1922, 37 states had set up 70 junior colleges, enrolling about 150 students each. Meanwhile, another 137 were privately operated, with about 60 student seach. Rapid expansion continued in the 1920s, with 440 junior colleges in 1930 enrolling about 70,000 students.The peak year for private institutions came in 1949, when there were 322 junior colleges in all; 180 were affiliated with churches, 108 were independent and non-profit, and 34 were private schools being run for-profit.
Many factors contributed to rapid growth of community colleges. Students parents and businessmen wanted nearby, low-cost schools to provide training for the growing white-collar labor force, as well as for more advanced technical jobs in the blue-collar sphere. Four-year colleges were also growing, albeit not as fast; however, many ofthem were located in rural or small-town areas away from the fast-growing metropolis. Community collegescontinue as open-enrollment, low-cost institutions with a strong component of vocational education, as well as alow-cost preparation for transfer students into four-year schools. They appeal to a poorer, older, less preparedelement.
【題組】49 Which of the following statistics is TRUE?
(A) Before 1919, there were already more than 170 junior colleges.
(B) In the 1920s, there were about 140 privately-operated junior colleges.
(C) In 1949, there were totally 180 junior colleges with 108 independent non-profit.
(D) The peak year for private community college expansion came at the year of 1922.

In the ancient days, our ancestors took the time to connect with animals intimately. We also have the same abilities.
