請依下文回答第 32 題至第 36 題 To the Wappo Indians who first inhabited the valley, “Napa” meant a land of plenty. Spawning salmon filledthe waterways, clouds of migrating waterfowl darkened the skies, and the valley floor served as home to wildcats,black bears, and grizzlies. Wild grapes also grew in abundance, but it took a while for early settlers such asGeorge Yount to recognize the valley’s potential for cultivating wine grapes. Establishing the first localhomestead in what is now Yountville in 1836, Yount was the first to plant vineyards in the valley. Other pioneersincluded John Patchett, who planted the first commercial vineyard; Dr. George Crane, who promoted the plantingof grapevines through a series of newspaper articles; and Hamilton Crabb, who experimented with more than 400grape varieties. However, a huge threat to Napa Valley’s wine business arrived in 1920, with the enactment of Prohibition.Vineyards were abandoned, and many winemakers found other trades during the next 14 years. Only a handful ofwineries continued to operate by producing sacramental wines. With the end of Prohibition in 1933, NapaValley’s wine industry began its renaissance period. Particularly in the early 1940s, a group of vintners cametogether to share ideas on grape growing and winemaking amidst a cheerful atmosphere. This group laid thefoundation for the Napa Valley Vintners, a dynamic trade organization dedicated to advancing Napa Valley’swines both domestically and abroad. Today, Napa Valley is home to almost 400 wineries. Its growers andvintners combine cutting-edge science with traditional techniques, and its reputation for producing world-classwines is firmly established in the global market. 【題組】35 Based on this passage, when is the prime time of the wine industry in Napa Valley?
(A)Before 1900 (B)In the 1920s (C)In the 1930s (D)After 1940

While many studies have been undertaken to study the impact of consuming coffee on our health, researchers have just
administered the first study that analyzes the effects of coffee’s aroma. For many people, the morning coffee is just the
thing to wake up the dormant brain cells and to put the body in gear. However, according to the 25th issue of the
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the smell of coffee also has a comparable, if not more, effect on our body,
diminishing the impact of sleep deprivation. At least, that’s what researchers have found in rats.
Rats that suffered from insomnia, or inability to sleep, were exposed to the smell of coffee. Coffee aroma successfully
activated seventeen different genes in their brains; among them, thirteen were known to produce proteins that protect
nerve cells from the damaging impact of stress or tension. So, what is the implication of this finding for those people
who were stressed by lack of sleep and/or need to stay up late? Well, maybe they do not have to shell out 100 NT
dollars for a venti-sized latte to get some of their genes activated in their brains and/or to ease the impact of
sleeplessness resulting from tension. All they need to do is to walk to a coffee shop around the corner and get a sniff of
coffee.
【題組】50 According to the passage, what is activated by coffee aroma to ease the impact of sleeplessness and tension?
(A)Nerves. (B) Brain cells. (C) Genes. (D) Shells
