Questions 164~167 refer to the following information.

 Attaining and keeping a healthy weight involves more than just watching what you eat. It requires a combination of healthy eating, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management. There are also other factors that may influence weight gain, such as genetics and hormonal imbalances. Therefore, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight requires a holistic approach.

One of the most critical aspects of maintaining a healthy weight is healthy eating. This involves consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. It is important to avoid fad diets that promise quick results as they often limit your nutritional intake, can be unhealthy, and are typically not sustainable in the long term.

 The amount of physical activity required to maintain a healthy weight may vary depending on your goals. If you want to lose weight, you may need to increase the amount of physical activity you engage in. Walking is a great way to add physical activity to your daily routine, and it is a low-impact exercise that is suitable for most people. 

Maintaining a healthy weight has several benefits, including better overall health and a reduced risk of developing chronic conditions as you age. In contrast, obesity is associated with an increased risk of many serious health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer. Therefore, taking steps to manage your weight can help improve your quality of life and reduce the risk of developing health problems in the future.

【題組】 164. According to the information, which of the following is NOT a factor that affects weight gain according to the text?

Questions 172~175 refer to the following information. 

There is a common myth that grain products such as bread, pasta, and rice are responsible for weight gain and should be avoided if one wants to lose weight. However, the reality is quite different from this widely held belief. While it is true that consuming large amounts of refined grains, which are often found in processed foods, can contribute to weight gain, grains themselves are not inherently fattening or unhealthy. 

In fact, substituting whole grains for refined-grain products is a healthier choice and may even help one feel fuller for longer. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025, consuming grains as part of a healthy eating plan is recommended. At least half of the grains consumed should be whole grains. Some examples of whole grains include brown rice and whole-wheat bread, cereal, and pasta. 

Whole grains are a rich source of iron, fiber, and other essential nutrients that the body needs to function properly. By consuming whole grains, one can maintain a healthy body weight and also get essential nutrients that can help prevent chronic diseases. In contrast, refined grains are often stripped of important nutrients during processing and can contribute to health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. 

Therefore, if you are looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, 
incorporating whole grains into your diet can be an effective and nutritious way to do so. So, next time you hear the myth that grain products are fattening, remember that this is not entirely true, and whole grains are actually an important part of a healthy diet.

【題組】 172. Which of the following is a common myth about grain products?

Welcome to Alex Wilson’s Blog

As a seasoned management consultant with over 10 years of experience, I have seen firsthand the toll that stress and burnout can take on individuals and organizations. In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business landscape, it's more important than ever to prioritize mental well-being in the workplace. 

Here are some tips for reducing psychological anxiety and preventing burnout:

● Practice mindfulness: Taking a few minutes each day to focus on your breath and clear your mind can go a long way in reducing stress and improving overall mental health.
● Set boundaries: It's essential to establish boundaries between work and personal life. Set clear expectations with colleagues and managers and make sure to take breaks and time off when needed.
● Exercise regularly: Exercise is not only good for physical health but also has significant benefits for mental health. Incorporating regular exercise into your routine can help reduce stress, increase energy levels, and improve mood.
● Prioritize self-care: Make time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as reading a book, listening to music, or taking a bath. Practicing self-care regularly can help reduce stress and prevent burnout.

By implementing these strategies, you can take steps towards a healthier and more balanced life, both personally and professionally. Remember, prioritizing mental health is not only essential for individual well-being but also contributes to the success and longevity of organizations.

Questions 191~195 refer to the following letter, email, and news release. 

Dear Mayor Yah,

 I am a daily commuter who relies on public transportation to travel to and from work in Changhua City. While I appreciate the efforts of the city government to provide public transportation services, there are several issues that I would like to bring to your attention.

 Firstly, the traffic congestion problem in the city has become increasingly severe, resulting in significant delays and long waiting times for commuters like myself. I often find myself waiting for a long time at the bus stop, only to see multiple buses arrive at the same time, causing overcrowding and discomfort for passengers. 

Secondly, there is no formal schedule for the buses, which makes it difficult for commuters to plan their journeys. This lack of scheduling also leads to inconsistent service, with buses arriving irregularly and often leaving before the scheduled time. 

Thirdly, some of the bus drivers display rude and unprofessional behavior towards passengers. They often drive recklessly and ignore traffic rules, putting the safety of passengers at risk. I have also witnessed instances where drivers have yelled at passengers for asking questions or requesting to get off at a specific stop.

 I believe that these issues are negatively impacting the daily lives of many commuters in the city. As someone who relies on public transportation, I urge you to take action to address these concerns. 

To alleviate the traffic congestion problem, I suggest exploring the possibility of introducing more frequent bus services or incentivizing the use of alternative modes of transportation. Additionally, implementing a formal bus schedule and ensuring that drivers adhere to safety standards would go a long way in improving the quality of service provided to commuters. 

I hope that you will take my concerns seriously and work towards making positive changes to the public transportation system in Changhua City. Thank you for your time and attention.

 Sincerely,

Bruce Han 

Dear Transportation Company Executives, 

As the newly elected Mayor of Changhua City, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your team. We highly appreciate the contribution of your transportation company to the city's tourism industry over the years. --[1]-- We believe that through collaboration and discussion, we can create an even better experience for the visitors to our city.

 We are aware that the transportation companies in our city operate independently based on the demand of the visitors without a formal schedule. --[2]-- While this has served well so far, we believe that we can further enhance the quality of service provided to our visitors by formalizing the transportation schedule. 

In view of this, I would like to invite you and your team to attend a meeting with us at the city hall on August 3. --[3]-- We believe that this meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for us to exchange ideas and views and chart a way forward. 

We believe that your participation and input will be crucial in shaping the future of transportation in our city. Your attendance at this meeting would be greatly appreciated and would demonstrate your commitment to the development of our city. --[4]-- We urge you to make every effort to attend, and we look forward to working with you towards a successful outcome.

 Sincerely,

 Yah
 Mayor of Changhua City

"I recently hosted a reception at the Urban Oasis and it was nothing short of amazing. The outdoor garden was absolutely gorgeous, providing the perfect setting for our guests to mingle and enjoy the beautiful weather. Inside, the venue was equally impressive, with the exposed brick walls and floor-to-ceiling windows creating a truly unique atmosphere. The staff were professional and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our event ran smoothly. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind experience." 

by Wallace Wilson
 "I attended a startup gathering at the Distillery District Event Space and unfortunately, it left much to be desired. Despite the venue's central location, the space itself felt dark and unwelcoming, with the large windows failing to let in sufficient natural light. The exposed brick walls and high ceilings, while charming, did little to compensate for the lack of atmosphere. Furthermore, the acoustics were poor, making it difficult to hear the speakers and network with other attendees. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience and do not recommend this venue for similar events."

We request that you send a representative to attend a meeting on [date] at [time] at our office located at [address]. Please understand that this is an urgent matter and we expect your prompt response.
