LOHAS is an acronym for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, a way of life that originated in the United States
about a decade ago. LOHAS consumers are those who are passionate about the environment, sustainability, social issues,
and health. To push social and environmental responsibility, they purchase products such as organic soap, recycled paper,
hybrid cars, solar heating, and herbal tea.
Approximately 30% of American people are currently considered LOHAS consumers. The top product selection
criterion for 40% of American consumers is organic quality. For 20% of the consumers, sustainability is a key criterion in
deciding what to buy. The idea of LOHAS consumption continues to boost organic sales in the US. The US market for
organic food is growing by about 3.5 billion US dollars a year, according to the result of Sustainability Research.
The LOHAS trend is also beginning to catch on in Japan, where workaholic “salarymen” are looking for quick fixes
for stress and thinking green is becoming fashionable. Japan is receptive to LOHAS because the nation’s traditional
culture embraces a nature-loving view on life with hot springs and seasonal gourmet. A Tokyo department store has a
section for LOHAS goods. Magazines are singing the praises of the LOHAS lifestyle, including yoga, organic wine, and
aroma therapy. A restaurant serving ordinary but healthy dishes such as brown rice and vegetable curry claims to be
LOHAS. Not littering is also LOHAS. The values touch something as cheap as a hammock to something more expensive
as Louis Vuitton luggage.
【題組】37 Which item is NOT mentioned as an example of LOHAS?
(A) Yoga. (B) Organic food. (C) Solar energy. (D) Bicycle.
6 The exact number of the audience is still unknown, but it is____ that there are around 10,000 people in the theater

A young man was running along the street in a great hurry. Another man in the street
wondered why and asked the man, “Where are you hurrying to?” Then the young man
stopped unwillingly and said, “I’m going to the Taipei station. As I don’t have enough
money, I’m running after the bus. In this way I can save twenty dollars.” “Oh, I see. I’m
also going there...Shall we go together?”
Then the two began to run after a bus. They ran for some minutes and one of them said,
“Now stop, my friend. I’ve got an idea. If we run after a bus instead of getting on it, we can
save fifteen dollars each, right? But if we run after a taxi, we can save more!” “Oh, you are
right. I haven’t thought of such a simple thing.” Then, they found a taxi and started to run

A sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a utility vehicle weighing 8,500 pounds or less. Sport utility vehicles are popularbecause they are loaded with a combination of qualities—many standard features of passenger cars and special featuresfor driving on and off paved roads. SUVs offer ruggedness, engine power, roominess, and comfort. Many are equippedwith 4-wheel drive to give the extra traction needed for driving in difficult conditions, such as on snow, mud, or sand.
