VI. Reading Comprehension (閱讀理解測驗)

A. There are many types of crimes that can be committed: white collar crime in which businessmen make millions of dollar annually through tax evasion; organized crime in which hundreds of millions of dollars are made through illegal gambling, drug traffic, extortion, and prostitution; street crimes such as robbery, mugging, and looting; crimes of passion such as murder, rape and assault; violations of regulations designed to protect the public such as traffic and pedestrian rules; corruption in the government; and finally police crime.

Every time one of these crimes is committed, there is a great loss to the society not only in terms of money, property, or lives lost, but also in terms of society being made much weaker and less effective in its functioning. For example, if people believe that crimes can be committed and gotten away with, they are more likely to try to commit them, or even perhaps commit crimes in order to stop others from committing them – such as buying a gun to shoot people who are trying to rob them rather than calling a police. When this happens, lawlessness spreads and people start to be afraid of and hate other people.

【題組】42.From this passage we know that an effectively functioning society is supposed to do all it can to _______ and punish crimes.
(A) suppress
(B) ignore
(C) encourage
(D) tolerate

Questions 41-45
The field of performance psychology is producing a growing body of science in the area of grit, motivation, and mindset.Research psychologists such as Angela Duckworth and Carol Dweck have provided us with insights that educators and parents,can use to cultivate traits such as grit. These traits have been linked to higher performance and increased success. Below are a few strategies that parents and educators can use to support the development of grit in themselves and others.

First, kids do not need to know what they will do for the rest of their life, but they do need to identify and pursue passions.In the process of pursuing their passions, which will most likely change over time, they develop grit. Those ballet classes, guitarlessons, and basketball practices create environments in which kids while pirsuing their passions, learn how to overcomechallenges and persist.

Moreover, kids need to do hard things so that they learn that they can do hard things. The more hard things they do, themore they know and believe that they can do hard things. We need to get kids out of their comfort zones and encourage them to take appropriate risks.

Finally, fear of failure and fear of making mistakes can keep us from trying. When we celebrate failure and mistakes as a natural byproduct of stepping out of our comfort zone and an essential part of the learning process, they can become valuableopportunities for learning and growth. When children make mistakes, help them take a step back and take an objective look atwhat happened.
