請依下文回答第 40 題至第 43 題 I have referred in passing to the difficult tasks assumed by the Greek Archaeological Service, and I hope that it will not seem too presumptuous if I further enlarge on them. The unselective preservation of Greece’s material heritage, which is a cause so estimable in principle that almost nobody would speak in public against it, has brought about another, less obvious, crisis. The historically conscious visitors to Greece today are rightly impressed by the steady increase in the number of local museums and in the quality of exhibition. What they may not appreciate—and I think that this is true even of classicists and other “professionals” who are not archaeologists—is that what is actually displayed is merely the beautiful tip of an unsightly iceberg. Almost every museum in Greece is compelled to conceal in its storerooms a mass, growing year by year at an alarming pace, of materials unsuited to exhibition; these artifacts are often undocumented and sometimes destined to remain so. If the Archaeological Service were rewarded, either in salaries or in manpower, on a scale that bears some faint relation to the colossal contribution that its activities make to the nation’s tourist industry, then one could look ahead to a possible reduction of the pressure. If we cannot change the current policy, the only prospect is that it will rapidly increase: even to keep pace with the rate of growth in the “submerged nine-tenths” of its holdings, the service would need an increase in manpower. Much of the material has to be stored in improvised accommodation, which proves to be difficult of access for researches; meanwhile, its keepers are distracted by the ever more persistent demands of emergency excavation.

請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題 “Exercising may be the best antidote to chronic pain,” say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain. “People with chronic pain need to stop lying around, go out more and start exercising.” To most people, the intuitive reaction to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain. But it seems that this is often counterproductive, especially in the case of back pain, which after headaches and tiredness, has become the third most common reason for people to visit their doctors. Painful backs now account for millions of days off work. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility and strength of muscles, so it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain. Exercise is essential. It releases endorphins, the body’s “feel-good” chemicals, which are natural painkillers. In fact, these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain an optimum level of endorphins in the body. Most patients are prescribed drugs rather than exercise. However, since finding the cause of backache is not so easy, doctors frequently do not know the exact cause of the discomfort, and as the pain continues, patients end up taking stronger doses or a series of different drugs.

A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided. Once patients have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up, their medication is cut down as much as possible. Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity by making them more physically and mentally alert. In some pain-relief clinics, patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises, followed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day, they practice t’ai chi, a Chinese system of calisthenics, self-defense, and meditation. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours’ physiotherapy a week in a conventional hospital program. “The idea is to strengthen and to increase stamina, flexibility and confidence,” explains Bill Wiles, a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool. “Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment”.

【題組】23 Based on the passage, which statement is true?
(A) T’ai chi prevents people from increasing stamina.
(B) Endorphin is an effective antidote prescribed by doctors.
(C) Physiotherapy has been proven not effective in stopping the pain.
(D) Fatigue is one of the top three reasons why people see a doctor.
