       While the hat rule certainly feels antiquated, it also begs the question: Why do we do this? After all, there’s nothing about hats that seems inherently offensive. To ensure you’re up to speed on this old etiquette rule, we’ve uncovered the real reason why it’s considered rude to wear a hat indoors.                     According to the etiquette experts over at the Emily Post Institute, the act of removing your hat indoors is a longtime sign of respect. In fact, it probably began with medievalknights. Back in Medieval Europe, any knight who failed to remove his helmet or lift his visor to identify himself could face fatal consequences. Knights also removed their helmets as a sign of vulnerability and trust in churches and in the presence of women and royalty. The rule also has roots in Christianity, as it’s considered customary for men to remove their hats upon entering a church. But perhaps the strictest rules of Western hat etiquette exist in the U.S. Flag Code, which advises men to take off their hats during the national anthem. While the flag code is certainly not a law but an advisory, its inclusion of hat etiquette cements the idea that wearing a hat in the wrong situation is the epitome of rudeness. 　　
       There are a few exceptions to these hat-wearing rules. Men are allowed to keep their hats on at indoor athleticevents, on public transportation, in post offices, airports, hotel or office lobbies, and on elevators. And women are allowed to keep their hats on at all of those places, plus in someone’s home, at luncheons, movies, weddings, garden parties, and even during the national anthem. In addition to removing their hats indoors and during the national anthem, men should also remove their toppers at mealtime and while being introduced to someone new. Nowadays, however, many etiquette experts emphasize the importance of trusting your intuition. If you find yourself in a situation where you aim to show respect to others, then it’s best to avoid coming off as rude and simply remove your hat.

【題組】39. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the medieval knights removed their helmets? 
(A)They might be killed when they couldn’t be identified.
(B)They wanted to show trust in churches.
(C)Removal of their helmets stood for a sign of weakness.
(D)Removal of their helmets could increase their popularity.

       Reuben Garret Lucius Goldberg was born on July 4th 1883 in San Francisco. By the end of his lifetime in December 7th 1970, he was known as an inventor, sculptor, author, engineer and cartoonist. At a young age, he loved drawing, tracing and being creative, but this was discouraged by his parents. In 1904, he graduated with a degree in engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He was then hired as an engineer by the city of San Francisco but eventually quit to become a sports cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1907 he moved to New York where he worked for several newspapers. He soon became famous as an artist.
       His cartoon strips were popular, but the work that gave him unforgettable lifelong fame was the character he created—Professor Lucifer Gorgonzola Butts. Using the character, he would illustrate inventions that later became known as the “Rube Goldberg Machine”. A “Rube Goldberg Machine” is an extremely complicated device that performs a very simple task in a complex, indirect way. This is now used as an expression to describe any system that's confusing or complicated and came from Goldbergʼs illustrations of ridiculous machines. The first illustration showing a “Rube Goldberg Machine” was an Automatic Weight Reducing Machine in 1914 using components such as a donut, bomb, wax, balloon and hot stove to trap an overweight person in a sound and food proof prison. The overweight person had to lose weight before freeing himself. He used many simple subjects and made them humorous yet very complicated. This included scratching insect bites, scrubbing your back in a bath, opening a window, collecting mail and finding a ball.
        Throughout his career, Goldberg was fascinated by the advancement of technology and thought it humorous that people either embraced the benefits technology brought or were unwilling to accept new technology as it seemingly increased dependency and laziness. He personally believed people preferred choosing a more difficult route instead of completing a goal simply and directly. As he said, “the machines are a symbol of manʼs capacity for making maximum effort to achieve minimal results”. His inventions were interesting because he did the complete opposite of what most machines do—instead of making difficult things easy, he made easy things difficult.
【題組】25. Why did Reuben Goldberg draw the interesting machines?
(A) To express his distrust of modern technology.
(B) To make fun of a certain professor in his university.
(C) To show how men often made simple things more complicated.
(D) To mirror his childhood life as an overweight boy.

※說明：第21至25題，請依照下列文章，選出最適當的答案。
        In the medical profession, technology is advancing so fast that questions of law and ethics cannot be discussed and answered fast enough. Most of these questions involve ending or beginning a human life. For example, we have the medical ability to keep a person technically “alive” for years, on machines, after he or she is “brain dead,” i.e., after the “new brain” has stopped functioning. But is it ethical to do this? And what about the alternative? In other words, is it ethical not to keep a person alive if we have the technology to do so? And there are many ethical questions involving the conception of a human baby. In vitro fertilization, for example, is becoming more and more common. By this method of conceiving a baby outside a woman’s body, couples who have difficulty conceiving a child may still become parents. This possibility brings joy to many families, but it also raises important questions. A fertilized human egg might be frozen for a long time—perhaps decades—before it is implanted in the mother’s body. Is this fertilized egg a human being? If the parents get a divorce, to whom do these frozen eggs belong? And there is the question of surrogate mothers. There have been several cases of a woman who is paid to carry (for the nine months of development) the baby of another woman who is medically unable to do so. After delivering the baby, the surrogate mother sometimes changes her mind and wants to keep the baby. Whose baby is it? Is it the surrogate’s because she gave birth? Or is it the biological parents’?
【題組】22. According to the paragraph, what is true about medical ability to end or begin a human life?
(A) Humans could technically live by machine for years.
(B) It is definitely unethical to keep humans alive on machines.
(C) Beginning a human life with a new brain involves ethical questions.
(D) Ethical problems will be solved as long as technology helps human life function.
