請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題 For some people, summer is the time to head indoors to exercise. But others welcome the heat as a way to sweat more and get a better workout. Indeed, I’ve long regarded the sweatiness of my exercise sessions as a sign of how hard I was pushing myself. But it turns out I’ve been wrong: How much you sweat doesn’t necessarily correlate with how intense your workout is or how many calories you burn. When your body temperature rises, your eccrine glands secrete sweat, and the evaporation of moisture from your skin helps you cool off. Of course, sweating can occur for other reasons, such as stress or fear. That type of sweat comes from the apocrine glands, which are located mainly in the underarm and groin. How much we sweat during exercise is due to a number of factors, including gender (men tend to sweat more than women) and age (younger people sweat more than older people) as well as genetics, temperature and humidity. Weight plays a role as well. Larger people tend to sweat more, because their bodies generate more heat. Another contributor is fitness level. Surprisingly, fit people tend to sweat sooner during exercise and more copiously than those who are less fit. Research suggests that as your fitness level improves, your body’s heat-regulating system becomes more efficient, cooling you down faster and allowing you to work harder. Don’t be misled by the loss of a few pounds after a high-sweat workout. This is simply water weight that you gain back when you rehydrate and doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve burned lots of calories.
【題組】 41 Which of the following titles can best describe the passage?
(A) Why do people sweat during exercise?
(B) Does more sweating mean a more intense workout?
(C) How does your body’s heat-regulating system function?
(D) What are the possible ways of losing weight?

請回答下列第46題至第50題
Two years ago, a group of elders in a village in north-western Uganda agreed to lend their land to refugees from South Sudan. About 120,000 are now in the surrounding area. Here they live in tarpaulin shelters and mud-brick huts on a patch of scrub where cows once grazed. Kemis Butele, a gravel-voiced Ugandan elder, explains that hosting refugees is a way for a remote place, long neglected by the central government, to get noticed. He hopes for new schools, clinics and a decent road – and “that our children can get jobs.”
 There are more than 20 million refugees in the world today, more than at any time since the end of the second world war. Nearly 90% reside in poor countries. In many, to preserve jobs for natives, governments bar refugees from working in the formal economy. Uganda has shown how a different approach can reap dividends. The government gives refugees land plots and lets them work. In some places, the refugees boost local businesses and act as a magnet for foreign aid. Mr. Butele and many other Ugandans see their new neighbors as a benefit, not a burden. Sadly, such attitudes are still the exception.
Refugees are “brothers and sisters,”say many Ugandans. Mr. Butele was once one himself. But the welcome is also a pragmatic one. Northern Uganda is so poor that some locals pose as refugees to receive food aid. Others see refugees as buyers for local goods. Elsewhere in Uganda has indeed seen such positive spillover. One study from 2016 found that the presence of Congolese refugees in western Uganda had increased consumption per household. Another estimates that each new refugee household boosts total income, including that of refugees, by $320-430 more than the cost of the aid the household is given. That rises to $560-670 when refugees are given cash instead of rations.
【題組】49 What is the implication of the statement, “such attitudes are still the exception”?
(A) The majority of refugees prefer to reside in rich countries.
(B) The majority of governments give refugees land plots.
(C) The majority of people consider refugees to be a burden.
(D) The majority of local businesses see refugees as a benefit.

        Ever notice those little pockets on your jeans? They are pretty much too small to be useful. But in the old times,it had an important purpose: The pocket held a pocket watch. The ubiquity of the pockets can be traced back to thedesign for “waist overalls,” the original name for the blue jeans made by Levi Strauss & Co. They appeared on thedesign in the patent Strauss and J.W. Davis received for “Improvement in Fastening Pocket Openings,” way back onMay 20, 1873, and were first put into mass use in 1890 with the “Lot 501” jeans, the model for Levi’s 501 jeans today.
       “The watch pocket was a feature of our first waist overalls,” Tracey Panek, the in-house historian at LeviStrauss & Co., told INSIDER in an email. “The oldest pair of waist overalls in the Levi Strauss & Co. Archives[from 1879] includes the watch pocket.” Because the small pocket was meant to hold pocket watches, you won’tusually find it on suit pants. Suit jackets already have pocket watches, which makes one on the pants superfluous.Levi Strauss himself, for example, kept a pocket watch in the vest of his business suit, according to Panek. Pantswith the tiny pocket are called “five-pocket pants,” but the tiny pocket isn’t actually the fifth one. The fifth pocketis actually on the back-left, added to Levi’s 501 jeans in 1901. Pretty much no one today carries around a pocketwatch. People tend to check the time on their phones or wristwatches. Panek told INSIDER that the small pocketsare kept on Levi’s jeans today to maintain the integrity of the original design. 
        Today, there isn’t much you can do with the tiny pocket. Some people suggest using them to keep coins orkeys, but they tend to dig into your hip. Others recommend them for matches, condoms, and tickets, but those aredifficult to extract if your fingers aren’t similarly tiny. The pockets are somewhat helpful for carrying small piecesof hand jewelry for a few moments — like if you plan to propose to your significant other, or if someone else iswashing his hands and wants you to hold on to his rings — but that’s pretty much it. For the most part, it’s best toignore them and think about the pockets as a piece of history that’s still with us.

【題組】 42 Which of the following statements is NOT true?
(A) The tiny pockets on jeans and some other pants were designed for hand jewelry.
(B) The tiny pockets were first used with the original Levi’s blue jeans in the late 19th century.
(C) It was not until 1890 that the “Lot 501” jeans were introduced to the world.
(D) The tiny pocket played a significant role in the history of Levi’s first waist overalls.
