We all might have seen a guide dog with a person, but do we know how they help the visually impaired personor handler? Do we know the intensity of training and what it takes to be a guide dog? Here are a couple of things youprobably didn’t know about guide dogs. First, not every dog is cut out to be a guide dog. They are carefully chosen for breeding with the sole purpose totrain them to be a guide dog. Most of the guide dogs originate from a carefully planned breeding program.

請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 Maybe you refuse to open an umbrella inside your house or walk under a ladder that’s on a sidewalk. These aresuperstitions, or a belief that something bad will happen even if there’s no reason to think that it will. One big superstition in the United States is that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. Happening up to three times a yeardepending on the calendar, the day seems to make people more careful or avoid things they usually aren’t afraid to do.Of course, no one can prove that more misfortune takes place on Friday the 13th. We just tend to notice it more if badthings happen on that day. But if Friday the 13th is only a superstition, why do people actually believe in it? It’s hard to know exactly when Friday the 13th became thought of as unlucky, but it likely comes from the Christianreligion. For example, in the Bible, Judas—a person who is said to have betrayed Jesus—was the 13th guest at the LastSupper. Also in the Bible, many unfortunate things happened on Fridays. So it made sense that people who read the Biblegot nervous around Friday the
13th. It’s also possible that 13 is considered “cursed” because it’s the number after 12, which many people see as a number thatcompletes things. Think about it—12 months are in a year, 12 inches in a foot, 12 pairs of ribs in a body, etc. So it’s possiblethe number 13 makes people uneasy because it causes them to think about the unknown—beyond the number 12. In other countries, Friday the 13th isn’t unlucky. For instance, in Spain, Tuesday the 13th is considered the day to dread.And in Italy, people fear the 17th day of the any month. Why? It is because the Roman numeral XVII (17) can berearranged to spell “VIXI,” which means “my life is over” in Latin. But, like in the United States, no one can prove thatmore terrible things occur on those days, either. People who are super afraid on Friday the 13th might have condition called triskaidekaphobia, which is a fear of thenumber 13. For most people, being afraid of Friday the 13th is just a superstition, something that we can have funpretending to fear because we know there’s really nothing to fear.
【題組】49 How many times can Friday the 13th occur the most in a year?
(A) Once. (B) Twice. (C) Thrice. (D) Four times.
