GEPT 中級模擬試題 Mock 4（挑戰級）

威威老師的話

第四回挑戰級模擬試題來了！這次的主題圍繞「未來趨勢」和「社會變遷」——你會遇到人工智慧、遠距工作、永續生活、心理健康等當代重要議題。聽力對話加入了更多辯論性的內容（說話者意見分歧的情境），閱讀文章篇篇都是從真實外媒報導風格改編。如果你前面三回都認真練了，這一回你會發現自己能讀得更快、聽得更準。這就是練習的魔力！開始吧！

初試 — 聽力測驗（約 30 分鐘）

威威老師小秘訣 — 意見分歧型對話的解題策略

當對話中兩位說話者意見不合時，考題十之八九會問「誰贊成什麼？」或「雙方最大的分歧點是什麼？」。聽的時候要在心中簡單標記：A 的立場是什麼、B 的立場是什麼。可以用手指小動作輔助——指左 = A 說、指右 = B 說——幫助你追蹤複雜的對話走向。

(C) Cybersecurity is an increasingly important field as more aspects of our lives move online.

答案： B — 用濕沙灘上留腳印的比喻來說明數位足跡。

3. Do you think the benefits of social media outweigh its harms for teenagers?

(C) Social media companies have introduced parental control features in response to public pressure.

答案： A — 青少年焦慮憂鬱率上升，社群媒體的代價超過好處。

4. What is one thing you wish you had learned earlier in your life?

(A) There are many skills that would have been useful to learn at a younger age.

5. In your view, what should be the main purpose of education?

(B) The Taiwanese education system has undergone several reforms in the past two decades.
(C) I spent sixteen years in formal education from elementary school through university.

答案： A — 教育的目的是教批判思考和自主學習，不是背誦考試內容。

6. How do you think cities should adapt to the challenges of climate change?

(A) Climate change is one of the most complex and urgent challenges facing humanity in the 21st century.
(B) I think cities need to redesign their infrastructure from the ground up — more permeable surfaces to absorb flooding, more trees to reduce heat, more renewable energy grids, and significantly expanded public transit.
(C) Many coastal cities are already experiencing the effects of rising sea levels.

7. What habit has had the most positive impact on your life?

(A) The habit of reading for thirty minutes before bed instead of looking at my phone has had the biggest impact. I sleep better, I have read over forty books this year, and I feel calmer overall.
(B) Habits are easier to build when you attach them to something you already do every day.
(C) I have tried to develop many positive habits over the years with varying degrees of success.

答案： A — 睡前看書而非滑手機，睡更好、讀了四十本書、心情更平靜。

8. If you could solve one global problem instantly, which would you choose and why?

(A) Global problems are deeply interconnected, so solving one often requires addressing several others.
(B) I would choose to end extreme poverty. It is the root cause of so many other problems — poor health, limited education, political instability, and environmental destruction. Lifting people out of poverty creates a positive ripple effect.
(C) Many organizations are working tirelessly to address various global challenges.

答案： B — 解決極端貧窮，因為它是許多其他問題的根源。

9. Do you believe that people can truly change their personality, or are we fixed from birth?

(A) Research in psychology suggests that personality can and does change over time, though mostly gradually. The idea that we are fixed from birth has been largely debunked by modern science.
(B) Personality is partly genetic and partly shaped by environment, but the exact proportion is still debated by scientists.
(C) I have noticed that my personality has changed in some ways since I was a teenager.

答案： A — 心理學研究指出性格會隨時間改變，定型論已被現代科學推翻。

10. What is the best way, in your opinion, to stay motivated when working toward a long-term goal?

(A) Long-term goals require sustained effort and can sometimes feel overwhelming and distant.
(B) I break the goal into smaller milestones and celebrate each one. It is also crucial to remind myself regularly why the goal matters to me personally — the emotional connection is what keeps you going when discipline fades.
(C) I am currently working toward several long-term goals in my career and personal life.

答案： B — 將目標拆成小里程碑逐一慶祝、時常提醒自己為何目標對自己重要。

11. How would you handle a colleague who consistently takes credit for other people’s work?

(A) I would first document specific instances with dates and evidence. Then, I would have a private, professional conversation with them, assuming good intent — perhaps they do not realize what they are doing. If it continues, I would involve a manager.
(B) I have been fortunate to work with mostly honest and collaborative colleagues throughout my career.
(C) Office politics can be exhausting and sometimes unavoidable in large organizations.

答案： A — 先記錄證據、私下專業談話、若無效再向上呈報。

12. What do you think the “sharing economy” has changed about the way we live?

(A) The sharing economy, through platforms like Uber and Airbnb, has fundamentally changed our relationship with ownership. We have shifted from “I need to own this” to “I need access to this when I need it.” This is both liberating and disruptive.
(B) I have used ride-sharing services occasionally when public transportation was inconvenient.
(C) The sharing economy has created millions of flexible jobs but has also raised questions about worker protections.

答案： A — 共享經濟改變了人與所有權的關係：從擁有轉為使用權，既解放又衝擊。

13. In an age of information overload, how do you decide what information to trust?

(A) I check multiple independent sources, look at who is reporting and what their track record is, and pay attention to whether the information is presented as fact or opinion. If something triggers a strong emotional reaction, I slow down and verify before sharing.
(B) The internet has democratized access to information but has also made misinformation easier to spread.
(C) I get most of my news from social media feeds and news aggregator apps on my phone.

答案： A — 多重獨立來源驗證、檢查報導者背景、情緒強烈時先放慢查證再分享。

14. What role should luck play in how we think about success?

(A) Luck plays a much larger role in success than most successful people are willing to admit. Acknowledging this makes us more humble and more generous. It also reminds us that failure is not always a sign of personal inadequacy — sometimes luck was simply not on your side.
(B) I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunities and support I have received in my life.
(C) Some people believe that hard work alone guarantees success, but this view ignores the role of circumstances.

答案： A — 運氣在成功中的角色比成功者願意承認的大得多，承認這點讓人更謙虛慷慨。

15. If you could design a new school subject that every student should take, what would it be?

(A) I would create a subject called “Life Design” that combines personal finance, emotional intelligence, communication skills, and basic mental health literacy. Schools teach trigonometry but not how to manage a budget or navigate a difficult conversation.
(B) The school curriculum is already quite full, and adding new subjects would require removing others.
(C) Many schools are already experimenting with innovative new subjects and teaching methods.

答案： A — 開設「生活設計課」：結合理財、情緒智商、溝通技巧、心理健康素養。

Part 3: 簡短對話（20 題）

Conversation 1

Man: My company just announced that we are switching to a four-day workweek starting next quarter. Same salary, but Friday is now officially off.

Woman: That is incredible! Are you excited?

Man: I should be, right? But honestly, I am a bit anxious. We still have the same amount of work to do, just compressed into four days instead of five.

Woman: How is your company handling that? Did they give any guidance?

Man: They said they have been studying examples from other countries — companies in Iceland and New Zealand that tried this. Apparently, the key is to cut out unnecessary meetings and use more asynchronous communication. But I am skeptical about whether our team culture can actually change that fast.

Woman: I understand the concern, but give it a chance. If it works, you get a three-day weekend every single week. That is life-changing.

Man: True. And the research does say productivity either stays the same or improves in most cases. I will go in with an open mind.

1. What change is the man’s company implementing?

(A) Employees will be required to work overtime on Fridays every week.
(B) The company is switching to a four-day workweek with the same salary.
(C) All employees will be required to work remotely from home permanently.
(D) The company is cutting salaries by 20% due to financial difficulties.

答案： B — 改成週休三日（四天工作制），薪水不變。

2. What is the man’s primary concern about the new arrangement?

(A) He will earn less money because the base salary is being reduced.
(B) He worries the same amount of work compressed into four days will be overwhelming.
(C) He is afraid his position will be eliminated in the restructuring process.
(D) He does not get along with his new team and dreads longer workdays together.

答案： B — 擔心相同工作量壓縮到四天會受不了。

Conversation 2

Woman: I signed up for a meditation course, and it is not at all what I expected.

Man: Really? What did you think it would be?

Woman: I thought it would be all about emptying your mind and thinking about nothing. But the instructor said that is a common misconception. Meditation is actually about noticing your thoughts without getting caught up in them.

Man: That sounds even harder than emptying your mind, to be honest.

Woman: It is, at first. The first few sessions, my mind was racing the entire time — work deadlines, what to eat for dinner, a conversation I had three days ago. I felt like I was failing.

Man: So what changed?

Woman: The instructor said that noticing your mind is racing IS the practice. Every time you realize you have been distracted and gently bring your attention back, that is like one rep of a mental exercise. I stopped judging myself for having thoughts and started treating it like going to the gym for my brain.

Man: “Going to the gym for your brain.” I like that framing. Maybe I should give it a try.

3. What misconception about meditation does the woman mention?

(A) That meditation requires sitting in a specific lotus position for hours.
(B) That meditation is only practiced by religious or spiritual people.
(C) That meditation is about emptying your mind and thinking about nothing.
(D) That meditation produces immediate and dramatic results after one session.

答案： C — 誤以為冥想是放空什麼都不想。

4. How does the woman now view her racing thoughts during meditation?

(A) As a sign that meditation is not effective for her personality type.
(B) As the actual practice itself — noticing distraction and bringing attention back.
(C) As a problem that requires more intense concentration techniques to solve.
(D) As evidence that she should try a different style of mental exercise entirely.

答案： B — 注意到思緒在飄本身就是練習，像大腦的健身。

Conversation 3

Man: There is an article trending about “loud quitting” — have you seen it?

Woman: I have heard the term but I am not sure what it means exactly. Is it the opposite of “quiet quitting”?

Man: Sort of. Quiet quitting is when you mentally check out but keep doing the bare minimum. Loud quitting is when you publicly announce why you are leaving your job — on social media, to the press, or in a very public resignation letter.

Woman: That seems risky. Would not burning bridges like that hurt your future career?

Man: That is exactly the debate. Some people argue it holds companies accountable for toxic work environments. Others say it is self-sabotage because future employers will see you as a liability.

Woman: I can see both sides. I guess it depends on whether you have enough leverage — if you are in a high-demand field and the company’s behavior was genuinely unacceptable, maybe the risk calculation is different.

Man: Right. The article pointed out that most loud quitters are in tech or media, where individual reputations sometimes matter more than corporate references. In more traditional industries, it is still extremely rare.

5. According to the conversation, what is “loud quitting”?

(A) Quitting a job without giving the standard two weeks’ notice to the employer.
(B) Publicly announcing and explaining why you are leaving a job, often on social media.
(C) Resigning from multiple jobs held simultaneously with a single resignation letter.
(D) Organizing a group of coworkers to all quit at the same time as a form of protest.

答案： B — 在社群媒體或公開場合大聲宣布辭職原因。

6. What concern does the woman raise about loud quitting?

(A) It might violate the terms of a non-disclosure agreement signed during employment.
(B) It could damage the person’s future career prospects by burning bridges.
(C) It rarely achieves the desired outcome of changing company policy or culture.
(D) It distracts from the more important problem of overall unemployment rates.

答案： B — 公開辭職可能燒掉橋樑，影響未來職涯。

Conversation 4

Woman: I just read that by 2030, there will be more “solopreneurs” — people running one-person businesses — than traditional small business owners with employees.

Man: That does not surprise me at all. The barriers to starting a business have never been lower. You can sell products online, offer consulting services, create content, build an audience — all from a laptop.

Woman: The report said technology is the main driver, obviously. But also, people are increasingly valuing autonomy over stability. They would rather earn less but have complete control over their time.

Man: The autonomy part is real, but let us not romanticize it. Solopreneurs have no paid sick leave, no employer-sponsored health insurance, no retirement contributions, and they bear all the risk. It is freedom, but it is also very precarious.

Woman: That is a fair point. The article mentioned that loneliness is actually the number one challenge cited by solopreneurs — not money, not time management, but loneliness. Working alone every day, without colleagues to bounce ideas off of, takes a psychological toll.

Man: I had never thought about the loneliness angle. I guess the future of work is going to require new kinds of communities and support structures that do not exist yet.

7. What trend do the speakers discuss regarding the future of work?

(A) The growth of solopreneurs running one-person businesses with no employees.
(B) The decline of all forms of entrepreneurship in favor of traditional employment.
(C) The increasing number of people taking early retirement by age forty.
(D) The shift toward government-provided universal basic income for all citizens.

答案： A — 一個人經營的「獨立創業者」將超過傳統小企業主。

8. According to the woman, what is the biggest challenge solopreneurs report?

(A) Difficulty in securing business loans and investment capital.
(B) Managing time effectively without the structure of a traditional workplace.
(C) Loneliness from working alone every day without colleagues to interact with.
(D) Keeping up with rapidly changing technology and market trends.

答案： C — 孤獨感是獨立創業者回報的最大挑戰，不是金錢或時間管理。

Conversation 5

Man: My nephew is twelve, and he told me he wants to be a “content creator” when he grows up. Not a doctor, not an engineer — a YouTuber.

Woman: To be fair, content creation is a legitimate career now. Some creators make more money than surgeons.

Man: I get that, but the odds are terrible. For every creator making a comfortable living, there are thousands earning nothing. It is like telling a kid to “just become a professional athlete.”

Woman: But the skills involved — video editing, storytelling, audience building, marketing — those are transferable to dozens of other careers. Even if he does not become a famous YouTuber, he is learning real skills.

Man: That is a more reassuring way to look at it. I guess my real concern is that he only sees the glamorous side — the fame, the sponsorships — and has no idea how much work goes on behind the scenes.

Woman: Maybe you could sit down with him and watch some “day in the life” videos from creators who show the unglamorous parts — the hours of editing, the algorithm stress, the burnout. Give him a more complete picture without crushing his enthusiasm.

Man: That is actually a brilliant idea. I will do that next time I see him.

9. Why is the man concerned about his nephew’s career ambition?

(A) He thinks content creation is an immoral profession that exploits viewers.
(B) He worries the success rate is extremely low and the boy only sees the glamour.
(C) He believes the internet will eventually be regulated out of existence by governments.
(D) He wants his nephew to follow the family tradition of becoming a medical professional.

答案： B — 擔心成功率極低，而且侄子只看到光鮮亮麗的一面。

10. What does the woman suggest the man do?

(A) Convince his nephew to choose a more traditional and secure career path instead.
(B) Help his nephew film and edit his first video to see if he actually enjoys the process.
(C) Watch “day in the life” videos that show the unglamorous, difficult side of content creation.
(D) Introduce his nephew to a successful content creator who can serve as a mentor figure.

答案： C — 陪侄子看揭露幕後辛苦面的「創作者的一天」影片。

Conversation 6

Woman: The university is launching a new program where students can design their own major. Instead of choosing from a pre-set list, you combine courses from different departments to create a custom degree path.

Man: That sounds exciting in theory, but how do you ensure the degree still means something? If everyone has a unique major, how do employers evaluate it?

Woman: Apparently, students still need to meet certain core requirements and their custom major has to be approved by a faculty committee. They have to write a proposal explaining the academic coherence of their chosen courses.

Man: I can see this working well for highly motivated students. But for someone who is already unsure about their direction, having unlimited options might be paralyzing rather than liberating.

Woman: The program is voluntary, so students can still choose a traditional major if they prefer. It is really designed for the student who is interested in something genuinely interdisciplinary — like someone who wants to combine computer science, linguistics, and psychology to study human-computer interaction.

Man: That makes sense. When you frame it as a solution for a specific kind of student rather than a replacement for the whole system, it is a lot more compelling.

11. What is the university’s new program about?

(A) Allowing students to graduate in three years instead of four to save on tuition costs.
(B) Letting students design their own customized major by combining courses across departments.
(C) Requiring all students to complete a double major in addition to their primary field of study.
(D) Partnering with companies to guarantee every graduate a job offer upon completion of the degree.

答案： B — 讓學生跨系選課組合出自訂的主修。

12. What concern does the man express about the program?

(A) The program will be too expensive for most students and lead to increased student debt.
(B) Having unlimited options might paralyze students who are already unsure about their direction.
(C) Faculty members will resist the program because it reduces their department enrollment numbers.
(D) The custom degrees will not be recognized by graduate schools or professional licensing boards.

答案： B — 對方向不明的學生來說，無限選項可能令人癱瘓而非解放。

Conversation 7

Man: Did you see that the city council approved the plan to turn the old railway line into a linear park? It is going to be like the High Line in New York.

Woman: I read about it! The project includes walking and cycling paths, community gardens, and public art installations along the entire 4.5-kilometer stretch.

Man: Some local businesses are against it though. A few warehouse owners along the route say it will increase property values too much and they will be forced out by rising rents.

Woman: That is the gentrification dilemma. You improve a neighborhood, and suddenly the people and businesses that made it interesting in the first place cannot afford to stay anymore.

Man: The city says they are including affordable housing requirements and small business protection measures in the development plan. But I have heard those promises before and seen them fall through.

Woman: It is a hard problem to solve. The question is not whether we should create nice public spaces — we should. The question is how to make sure the benefits are shared by everyone, not just property developers and wealthy newcomers.

13. What is the city planning to build?

(A) A new elevated highway to relieve traffic congestion on local roads.
(B) A linear park with paths, gardens, and art along a 4.5-kilometer old railway line.
(C) A high-speed rail extension connecting the city center to the international airport.
(D) A large shopping mall and entertainment complex on reclaimed industrial land.

答案： B — 將舊鐵路線改建為 4.5 公里的線型公園。

14. What problem does the woman associate with this type of development?

(A) The construction will take too long and create years of noise and traffic disruption.
(B) The park will attract too many tourists and overwhelm the neighborhood’s infrastructure.
(C) Gentrification, where original residents and businesses are priced out by rising costs.
(D) The old railway buildings are historically significant and should be preserved as museums.

答案： C — 仕紳化問題：原住戶和小商家因房價上漲被擠出。

Conversation 8

Woman: I just finished a book called “Range” by David Epstein. The main argument is that in most fields, generalists — people with broad knowledge across multiple domains — outperform specialists in the long run.

Man: That goes against everything we are told. “Find your niche,” “specialize early,” “become the expert.” Are you telling me that is wrong?

Woman: Not entirely wrong, but incomplete. Epstein argues that early specialization works in “kind” learning environments, where patterns repeat and feedback is immediate — like chess or golf. But most of the modern world is a “wicked” learning environment, where the rules are unclear and patterns constantly shift. In those environments, broad experience and the ability to connect ideas from different fields are more valuable.

Man: So the kid who tried five different sports, two instruments, and changed majors twice might actually have an advantage over the kid who has been coding since age ten?

Woman: Long term, yes. The broad explorer is better at adapting to new situations and solving novel problems because they have a bigger mental library to draw from. The early specialist is faster out of the gate but more likely to hit a ceiling.

Man: That is oddly reassuring. I have always felt a bit guilty about not having a single “thing” I have done my whole life.

15. What is the main argument of the book “Range” as described in the conversation?

(A) Specialization from an early age is always superior to having broad interests.

Conversation 9

Man: I was reading about “blue zones” — the five regions in the world where people live the longest and healthiest lives. Okinawa in Japan is one of them.

Woman: What did the researchers find they have in common?

Man: A few things. They eat mostly plant-based diets with very little processed food. They move naturally throughout the day — not necessarily formal exercise, but walking, gardening, doing things by hand. And strong social connections — Okinawans have these social groups called “moai” that provide lifelong friendship and support.

Woman: Diet and exercise make sense, but social connections are interesting. I would not have guessed that having friends has such a direct impact on physical longevity.

Man: The research is pretty clear on that actually. Chronic loneliness is as bad for your health as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. Social isolation increases the risk of heart disease, dementia, and depression.

Woman: That is both alarming and motivating. It makes “spending time with friends” feel less like a luxury and more like a health necessity.

Man: Exactly. The Okinawan concept of “ikigai” — having a sense of purpose, a reason to get up in the morning — was also a key factor. People who feel their life has meaning tend to take better care of themselves.

17. What are the speakers discussing?

(A) The dietary habits and traditional cuisine of the Okinawan region in Japan.
(B) “Blue zones” — regions where people live exceptionally long and healthy lives, and their common traits.
(C) A new exercise program inspired by the daily physical activities of elderly Japanese people.
(D) The rising rates of chronic disease in modern industrialized societies compared to past decades.

答案： B — 討論「藍區」：全球最長壽最健康的五個地區及其共同特徵。

18. According to the man, what is “ikigai”?

(A) The traditional Okinawan plant-based diet that contributes to overall health.
(B) A specific type of social group that provides lifelong friendship and community support.
(C) A sense of purpose — having a reason to get up in the morning.
(D) The daily low-intensity physical movement woven naturally into everyday life.

答案： C — 沖繩的「生き甲斐」概念：生活的意義和目標。

Conversation 10

Woman: I overheard two teenagers on the MRT yesterday, and they were speaking a mix of Mandarin, English, and Taiwanese — often switching languages mid-sentence. It was fascinating.

Man: Code-switching. It is extremely common among multilingual speakers. For them, it is not even a conscious choice — certain words and phrases just feel more natural in one language than another.

Woman: It made me think about how much the linguistic landscape of Taiwan has changed in just one generation. My grandparents spoke mostly Taiwanese and Japanese. My parents speak Mandarin and Taiwanese. And now the younger generation is mixing in English too.

Man: There is always a tension with language change though. Some people see it as a loss of cultural identity. Others see it as a natural evolution. I think both perspectives have validity.

Woman: I lean more toward the evolution view. Language has always changed — it is a living thing. The Mandarin my grandparents spoke is not the same Mandarin I speak. Trying to freeze a language at one point in time is like trying to stop a river.

Man: Fair, but the speed of change matters. When a language shifts too fast, older generations can feel linguistically isolated within their own communities. There has to be room for both preservation and evolution.

19. What linguistic phenomenon did the woman observe on the MRT?

(A) Tourists struggling to communicate with local residents using translation apps.
(B) Teenagers code-switching between Mandarin, English, and Taiwanese mid-sentence.
(C) An argument between two passengers about the correct pronunciation of a word.
(D) A language teacher giving an impromptu English lesson to a group of students.

答案： B — 青少年在國語、英文、台語之間來回切換。

20. What metaphor does the woman use to express her view on language change?

(A) Language is like a garden that requires constant tending and pruning by experts.
(B) Trying to freeze a language is like trying to stop a river — impossible and unnatural.
(C) Language evolution is like a family tree that branches out in many directions.
(D) Preserving language is like maintaining an old building that holds historical value.

答案： B — 想凍結語言就像想擋住河流一樣，不可能也不自然。

Passage 1: The Attention Economy

We live in what has been called the “attention economy” — a world where human attention is the scarcest and most valuable resource. Every app on your phone, every website you visit, every video platform you scroll through is designed to capture and hold your attention (1)_______ as long as possible. The business models of the world’s largest technology companies depend on it.

The mechanism is straightforward but powerful. When you use a free service, you are not the customer — you are the product. These companies make money by selling your attention to (2). The more time you spend on their platforms, the more data they collect about your preferences and behaviors, and the more precisely they can target advertisements to you. This creates a powerful (3) that pushes companies to make their products as engaging — and addictive — as possible.

The consequences of living in an attention economy are becoming increasingly clear. Studies have documented rising rates of distraction, (4)_______ attention spans, and a growing inability to engage in deep, focused work. Some researchers argue that the attention economy is contributing to a mental health crisis, particularly among young people whose developing brains are especially (5)_______ to these persuasive designs. The question is no longer whether these products affect us — it is what we are going to do about it.

(A) at
(B) for
(C) in
(D) with

答案： B — for，for as long as possible（盡可能久的時間）。

(A) customers
(B) users

Passage 2: The Rise of Micro-credentials

For generations, the university degree has been the gold standard of professional qualification. But that model is being challenged by the rise of micro-credentials — short, focused certifications that demonstrate competence in a specific skill. (6)_______ a traditional degree might take four years, a micro-credential in data analysis or digital marketing can be earned in a matter of weeks or months.

Proponents argue that micro-credentials offer a (7)_______ flexible and accessible path to career advancement. They allow workers to upskill or reskill without leaving their jobs or taking on significant debt. For employers, they provide a clearer signal of what a candidate can actually do, as opposed to what they studied years ago. Major companies including Google, IBM, and Microsoft now offer their (8)_______ certification programs, and some have even dropped degree requirements for certain positions entirely.

Critics, however, raise legitimate concerns. The quality of micro-credential programs varies (9), and without standardized accreditation, it can be difficult for employers to know which certificates represent genuine competence. There is also a risk that the shift toward micro-credentials could (10) inequality, as those with the resources and networks to navigate this new landscape pull even further ahead. The challenge for the education system will be to integrate the best of both models — the depth and breadth of traditional degrees with the agility and specificity of micro-credentials.

(B) resolve
(C) worsen
(D) eliminate

答案： C — worsen（加劇），可能加劇不平等。

Passage 3: The Psychology of Procrastination

Procrastination is not a time management problem — it is an emotion regulation problem. This is the central finding of (11)_______ body of research in psychology over the past two decades. When we procrastinate, we are not being lazy or undisciplined. We are avoiding a task because it triggers negative emotions — anxiety, boredom, self-doubt, or fear of failure.

Understanding procrastination this way changes how we should address it. The traditional advice — “just make a schedule” or “break it into smaller pieces” — treats procrastination as a productivity issue (12)_______ than an emotional one. While these strategies can help, they do not address the root cause. What actually works, according to the research, is learning to tolerate the uncomfortable emotions that certain tasks (13)_______ up, and starting anyway.

One effective technique is called “time travel” — vividly imagining how you will feel after the task is done. Research suggests that connecting with your future self emotionally can overcome the brain’s natural bias toward immediate comfort. Another strategy is to lower your standards for the first draft. The pressure to do something perfectly is often (14)_______ prevents us from doing it at all. Remind yourself that you can fix a bad page, (15)_______ you cannot fix a blank one.

(D) grew

答案： A — growing，a growing body of research（日益增長的研究）。

13.

(A) stir
(B) splits
(C) moves
(D) picks

答案： A — stir，stir up（激起、引發），引發不舒服情緒。

14.

(A) how
(B) why
(C) what
(D) which

答案： C — what，what prevents us = the thing that prevents us。

15.

(A) or
(B) so
(C) and
(D) but

答案： D — but，你可以修改爛的頁面，但無法修改空白的頁面。

The Quiet Revolution in Secondhand Shopping

Secondhand shopping, once associated with thrift stores and flea markets, has undergone a dramatic transformation. Fueled by apps and online platforms, the global secondhand market is projected to reach US$350 billion by 2028, growing three times faster than the overall apparel market. This is not just a trend — it is a fundamental shift in consumer behavior driven by a combination of economic, environmental, and technological factors.

Platforms like Taiwan’s own PopChill and international giants such as Depop and Vinted have made selling used clothing as easy as taking a photo and writing a description. For buyers, these platforms offer curated, searchable inventories with quality ratings, seller reviews, and secure payment systems that were absent from traditional secondhand markets. The friction that once made buying secondhand feel like a gamble has largely been eliminated.

The economic driver is clear: inflation and cost-of-living pressures have made saving money on clothing appealing to a broader demographic. A 2025 survey found that 62% of Gen Z and Millennial consumers now buy secondhand clothing regularly, not primarily for environmental reasons but because it provides “access to better brands at prices they can afford.”

Environmentally, the impact could be significant. The fashion industry accounts for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions, and extending the life of a garment by just nine months reduces its carbon, water, and waste footprint by 20–30%. If the secondhand market continues its current trajectory, it could become one of the most effective tools for reducing fashion’s environmental impact — not through sacrifice, but through a better shopping experience.

19. What is the projected value of the global secondhand market by 2028?

(A) US$100 billion
(B) US$200 billion
(C) US$350 billion
(D) US$500 billion

答案： C — 預估 2028 年全球二手市場將達 3500 億美元。

20. According to the article, what is the main reason Gen Z and Millennials buy secondhand clothing?

(A) To make a political statement against the fast fashion industry.
(B) Access to better brands at more affordable prices.
(C) A desire to wear unique vintage styles not available in regular stores.
(D) Peer pressure from friends who have embraced secondhand shopping.

答案： B — 62% 的年輕世代購買二手衣的主要原因是「能以負擔得起的價格買到更好的品牌」。

21. According to the article, how much can extending a garment’s life by nine months reduce its environmental footprint?

(A) 5–10%
(B) 10–15%
(C) 20–30%
(D) 50–60%

答案： C — 延長衣物壽命九個月可減少碳、水和廢棄物足跡 20–30%。

文章 C: Educational Research Summary

What Decades of Research Tell Us About Homework

The homework debate has raged for generations, with opinions often running hotter than evidence. A comprehensive meta-analysis published in 2024, examining over 170 studies spanning four decades, offers some clarity — though the picture is more nuanced than either side of the debate typically acknowledges.

The headline finding: homework does have a positive effect on academic achievement, but the relationship is neither simple nor linear. For elementary school students, the effect is small to negligible. The researchers found that for children under 11, the correlation between time spent on homework and academic performance was close to zero, leading them to suggest that homework for this age group should be minimal and focused primarily on fostering a love of reading.

For middle and high school students, however, the relationship strengthened. The analysis suggested an optimal range of 60–90 minutes of homework per night for secondary students. Beyond two hours, the benefits flattened and, in some cases, reversed — students doing three or more hours of homework per night actually performed worse on average than those doing 60–90 minutes, likely due to burnout, sleep deprivation, and reduced time for extracurricular activities and social development.

Perhaps the most striking finding concerned the type of homework, not just the quantity. Assignments that required active retrieval — having students recall information from memory without notes — were significantly more effective than passive tasks like re-reading or copying notes. The researchers concluded with a recommendation that has yet to be widely adopted: “The quality and design of homework matters far more than the quantity. A well-designed 20-minute assignment can teach more than two hours of busywork.”

22. What did the meta-analysis find about homework for elementary school students (under 11)?

(A) More homework led to significantly higher academic achievement across all subjects.
(B) The correlation between homework time and academic performance was close to zero.
(C) Homework was most effective when it involved at least two hours of nightly work.
(D) The researchers recommended banning homework entirely for all children under 13.

答案： B — 小學生（11 歲以下）做功課時間和學業表現的相關性趨近於零。

23. What was the optimal range of nightly homework for secondary students according to the analysis?

(A) 30–45 minutes
(B) 60–90 minutes
(C) 120–150 minutes
(D) 180–210 minutes

答案： B — 中學生最佳範圍是每晚 60-90 分鐘。

24. What type of homework did the researchers identify as most effective?

(A) Assignments that require students to re-read textbook chapters and copy their notes.
(B) Group projects that involve collaboration with classmates outside of school hours.
(C) Tasks that require active retrieval of information from memory without using notes.
(D) Online quizzes that provide immediate automated feedback on student answers.

答案： C — 需要主動從記憶提取資訊的作業（active retrieval），比被動複讀有效得多。

文章 D: Health Magazine Article

The Truth About “Superfoods”

Walk into any health food store or scroll through a wellness influencer’s social media feed, and you will encounter the term “superfood” repeatedly. Acai berries, kale, quinoa, chia seeds, goji berries — the list of foods marketed as having extraordinary health benefits is long and growing. But here is what the marketing does not tell you: “superfood” is not a scientific term. It has no legal definition and is regulated by no food safety authority anywhere in the world.

The term “superfood” was coined by marketing professionals, not nutrition scientists. Its first widespread use was in the early 20th century by the United Fruit Company to market bananas. The strategy was simple and effective: elevate an ordinary food to mythical status, and consumers would pay a premium for it. The fact that bananas are indeed nutritious was incidental to the campaign — the goal was to sell more bananas at higher prices.

This is not to say that foods marketed as superfoods are unhealthy. Many of them are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The problem is the framing. When we label certain foods as “super,” we imply that other foods are inferior by comparison, and we encourage a reductionist approach to nutrition that misses the bigger picture. No single food, no matter how nutrient-dense, can compensate for an otherwise poor diet, and no single food is essential for good health.

Registered dietitians overwhelmingly agree that the concept of a “superfood” does more harm than good. It leads consumers to overpay for exotic ingredients while ignoring the perfectly nutritious, affordable, and locally available foods in their own markets. Dark leafy greens are sold as “superfood kale” at a premium while local spinach, just as nutritious, sits ignored in the same aisle. The real superfood strategy, nutrition experts say, is boring but true: eat a wide variety of whole foods, mostly plants, in reasonable portions. No single ingredient required.

25. What is the article’s main point about the term “superfood”?

(A) It is a scientifically validated category established by food safety authorities.
(B) It is a marketing term with no scientific definition, coined to sell products at higher prices.
(C) It refers specifically to foods that are grown using traditional organic farming methods.
(D) It should be expanded to include more affordable locally-grown alternatives.

答案： B — 「超級食物」是行銷術語而非科學名詞，目的是高價銷售。

26. According to the article, what company first popularized the term “superfood”?

(A) A kale farming cooperative in California in the 1980s.
(B) The United Fruit Company in the early 20th century to market bananas.
(C) A Japanese health supplement manufacturer promoting goji berries.
(D) An Australian quinoa exporter targeting the North American health market.

答案： B — 聯合水果公司在 20 世紀初用來推銷香蕉。

27. What do registered dietitians recommend instead of focusing on “superfoods”?

(A) Eating a wide variety of whole foods, mostly plants, in reasonable portions.
(B) Taking daily multivitamin supplements to ensure all nutrient needs are met.
(C) Following a strict diet consisting exclusively of foods labeled as superfoods.
(D) Replacing all locally grown vegetables with imported organic alternatives.

答案： A — 攝取多樣化的全食物、多吃蔬食、適量份量。

文章 E: Opinion Piece

The Case Against “Hustle Culture”

Several years ago, a phrase began circulating on social media and in motivational content: “Sleep is for the weak.” Posters on office walls declared, “While you were sleeping, your competition was working.” Books with titles like “Crush It” and “The 5 AM Club” dominated bestseller lists. This was hustle culture at its peak — the glorification of overwork as a virtue and rest as a weakness.

The backlash was inevitable, and it has arrived. A growing chorus of voices — from mental health professionals to former hustle culture evangelists who burned out spectacularly — are making the case that working yourself to exhaustion is not a badge of honor. It is a recipe for physical illness, mental breakdown, and ironically, lower-quality work.

The scientific evidence against chronic overwork is overwhelming. A landmark 2021 study conducted jointly by the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization found that working 55 or more hours per week was associated with a 35% higher risk of stroke and a 17% higher risk of dying from heart disease compared to working 35–40 hours. The study estimated that in 2016 alone, 745,000 deaths worldwide were attributable to long working hours. This was not a study about “hard workers who could not handle the pressure.” This was a study about a direct, measurable, lethal health risk.

Beyond the physical toll, hustle culture is built on a false premise: the idea that more hours equals more output. Decades of research in organizational psychology have demonstrated that beyond approximately 40–50 hours per week, productivity per hour drops so sharply that additional hours contribute almost nothing. In knowledge work especially, a rested brain working intensely for six hours will produce far more than an exhausted brain dragging itself through twelve.

28. What does the article identify as “hustle culture”?

(A) A business strategy focused on rapidly launching and selling startup companies.
(B) The glorification of overwork as a virtue and the framing of rest as a weakness.
(C) A competitive sports culture that rewards athletes for training beyond their physical limits.
(D) An economic theory arguing that low wages motivate workers to be more productive.

答案： B — 將過度工作美化為美德、將休息視為弱者的文化。

29. What did the WHO/ILO study find about working 55+ hours per week?

(A) It was associated with a 35% higher risk of stroke and 17% higher risk of heart disease death.
(B) It resulted in higher productivity but lower overall job satisfaction among knowledge workers.
(C) It had no measurable health effects as long as workers exercised and ate a balanced diet.
(D) It was beneficial for career advancement in the short term but harmful in the long term.

答案： A — 中風風險增加 35%，死於心臟病風險增加 17%。

30. According to the article, what happens to productivity beyond 40–50 hours per week?

(A) Productivity continues to increase at the same rate as shorter workweeks.
(B) Productivity per hour drops so sharply that additional hours contribute almost nothing.
(C) Productivity doubles for highly motivated workers but drops for average workers.
(D) Productivity remains flat for manual workers but increases for knowledge workers.

答案： B — 超過 40-50 小時後，每小時生產力急劇下降，額外工時幾乎毫無貢獻。

文章 F: Business Case Study

How a Small Taiwanese Tea Brand Went Global

In 2014, Lin Mei-hua was running a modest tea shop in Taichung, selling loose leaf oolong and black teas to local customers. Today, her brand, “Mountain Leaf,” ships to 27 countries and generated NT$180 million in revenue last year. The path from local tea shop to international brand offers lessons that extend far beyond the tea industry.

The first turning point came in 2016, when Lin decided to invest in visual storytelling. She hired a videographer to document the entire tea-making process — from the misty mountain farms in Alishan where the tea was grown to the hands of the elderly tea masters who processed each batch. These videos, posted on YouTube and Instagram, attracted not just tea enthusiasts but a broader audience fascinated by the craftsmanship and tradition behind the product. Without spending on traditional advertising, Lin had found her audience.

The second insight was about accessibility. Lin noticed that many potential international customers were intimidated by traditional tea culture — the complex brewing equipment, the precise temperature requirements, the elaborate ceremonies. She developed a line of “easy brew” tea bags that used whole loose-leaf tea (not the dust and fannings found in most commercial tea bags) in biodegradable pyramid sachets. This allowed customers to experience premium Taiwanese tea with nothing more than a mug and hot water.

The third factor was authenticity. As the brand grew, Lin resisted advice to “Westernize” the product — to add artificial flavors, to create tea-based sugary drinks, to chase trends. “The world does not need another generic tea brand,” she has said in interviews. “It needs to taste what makes Taiwanese tea special.” This commitment to authenticity turned out to be exactly what the global market wanted.

31. What was Lin Mei-hua’s business before Mountain Leaf became an international brand?

(A) A chain of bubble tea shops with locations across central Taiwan.
(B) A modest local tea shop in Taichung selling loose leaf tea.
(C) An online retailer specializing in tea brewing equipment and accessories.
(D) A tea farm in Alishan that supplied raw leaves to commercial tea processors.

答案： B — 在台中經營一間小茶行，賣散裝烏龍茶和紅茶。

32. What was Lin’s first turning point strategy in 2016?

(A) She opened flagship stores in five major international cities simultaneously.
(B) She invested in visual storytelling through videos documenting the tea-making process.
(C) She lowered prices by 50% to compete with larger tea exporters on the global market.
(D) She partnered with a famous actress to become the face of the brand worldwide.

答案： B — 投資視覺故事行銷，拍攝從茶園到製茶師傅的完整過程影片。

33. How did Lin make her tea more accessible to international customers?

(A) She translated all her packaging into twelve different languages at significant cost.
(B) She developed easy-brew tea bags using whole loose leaves in biodegradable pyramid sachets.
(C) She launched a subscription service that delivered monthly tea samples to customers’ doors.
(D) She created a mobile app that guided users through traditional tea ceremonies step by step.

答案： B — 開發簡單沖泡茶包，用整片原葉而非碎茶末，裝在可生物分解的金字塔茶袋中。

34. What was Lin’s approach to authenticity as her brand expanded?

(A) She rapidly diversified into coffee and juice to capture a broader beverage market.
(B) She collaborated with international chefs to create fusion tea-based dishes for restaurants.
(C) She resisted Westernizing the product, refusing to add artificial flavors or chase trends.
(D) She acquired several foreign tea brands to build a global portfolio under the Mountain Leaf name.

答案： C — 堅持不西化產品，拒絕添加人工香料或追逐潮流。

Part 2: 引導寫作（120-150 字）

題目： Is It Better to Live in One Place Your Whole Life or to Move Frequently?（一輩子住在同一個地方比較好，還是頻繁搬家比較好？）

引導提示：

開頭（Intro）： 描述這個問題的兩種觀點。有些人認為扎根很重要，有些人則認為多方體驗更有價值。
正文（Body）： 頻繁搬家的優點（擴展視野、適應力、認識不同的人）vs. 長期定居的優點（深厚關係、歸屬感、安穩）。各舉出至少一個具體例子。
結尾（Conclusion）： 你個人的偏好是什麼？說明你的選擇與理由。

模範文章：

The question of whether to stay or to go is one that many people wrestle with at different points in their lives. Some believe that putting down deep roots in one community is the foundation of a meaningful life. Others argue that frequent moves offer richness and variety that a single place can never provide.

Moving frequently undeniably broadens your horizons. When you relocate to a new city or country, you are forced to adapt to different customs, make new friends, and solve unfamiliar problems. I have a classmate who moved five times during her childhood because of her father’s job. She can now strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere, and she attributes this social ease directly to her mobile upbringing. On the other hand, living in one place for a long time allows relationships to deepen over decades. You become part of a community’s fabric — you know the names of the shopkeepers, you have friends who have known you since childhood, and you feel a profound sense of belonging that is difficult to replicate through brief stays.

Personally, I lean toward a middle path. I want to spend my early adult years exploring different places, gathering experiences and perspectives. But eventually, I hope to find a place that feels like home and build something lasting there. The ideal life, to me, is not about choosing between roots and wings — it is about knowing when to use each.

複試 — 口說測驗

威威老師小秘訣 — 讓答案有「曲線」而非「直線」

好的口說回答不是直線衝向結論，而是有曲線的——先承認問題的複雜性(with a caveat)，再表達你的觀點，最後用一個有力的結尾收束。例如：「That is a really interesting question. I think there are two sides to this… But if I had to pick, I would say… Because at the end of the day…」這個曲線讓你的答案聽起來深思熟慮，而非即興亂講！

Part 1: 朗讀短文

說明： 請大聲朗讀以下短文，注意語調的起伏和情感的表達。

Learning to See

My grandfather was a photographer. Not a famous one — he never exhibited in galleries or won awards. But he spent sixty years carrying a camera everywhere he went, photographing the ordinary moments that most people overlook: a cat stretching in a patch of sunlight, steam rising from a bowl of noodle soup on a cold morning, the wrinkles around my grandmother’s eyes when she laughed.

When I was fourteen, he handed me his old film camera and said, “This will teach you to see.” I did not understand what he meant at first. I took hundreds of terrible photographs — blurry, poorly lit, badly composed. But gradually, I noticed something changing. I started to see light where I had only seen objects before. I noticed the way morning light slanted through our kitchen window differently in winter than in summer. I saw that my mother’s hands, which I had looked at thousands of times without really seeing, had a quiet elegance when she was peeling vegetables.

My grandfather passed away three years ago. Last month, I finally developed the last roll of film he ever shot. The final frame was a picture of me, taken at my high school graduation, looking nervous and hopeful in my cap and gown. On the back of the print, in his shaky handwriting, was a single sentence: “You see now.” I keep that photograph on my desk, and every time I look at it, I am reminded that seeing is not something your eyes do — it is something you learn.

發音提醒：

exhibited /ɪɡˈzɪbɪtɪd/
wrinkles /ˈrɪŋkəlz/
composed /kəmˈpoʊzd/
slanted /ˈslæntɪd/
elegance /ˈelɪɡəns/
developed /dɪˈveləpt/

Part 2: 回答問題（10 題）

1. What does “home” mean to you?

模範回答： To me, home is less about a physical location and more about a feeling of safety and belonging. It is the place where I can be completely myself without performing or pretending. Home is where I know the small sounds of the house — which floorboard creaks, how the refrigerator hums at night. It is also about the people. When I travel, I miss my family’s familiar voices and the comfort of shared routines. Home, I have realized, is wherever the people I love are.

2. How do you think technology is affecting our ability to pay attention?

模範回答： I think technology, particularly smartphones and social media, has significantly damaged our collective ability to sustain attention. We have become accustomed to constant stimulation — notifications, autoplaying videos, infinite scroll feeds — and our brains have adapted accordingly. I notice this in myself. When I sit down to read a book now, my hand unconsciously reaches for my phone every few minutes. The irony is that technology companies profit from our distracted state. The good news, however, is that attention is a skill that can be rebuilt with deliberate practice, just like any other skill.

3. Describe a time when you had to be brave.

模範回答： The bravest thing I have ever done was giving a speech at my sister’s wedding. I am generally uncomfortable with public speaking, and the thought of standing in front of 150 guests — including people I had never met — was terrifying. But my sister had asked me specifically, and I could not say no. I prepared for weeks, practicing in front of a mirror and recording myself. When the moment came, my voice shook for the first thirty seconds, but then I looked at my sister and saw tears in her eyes, and everything else faded away. I realized bravery is not the absence of fear — it is doing something meaningful despite being afraid.

4. Do you agree that money cannot buy happiness?

模範回答： I mostly agree, but with an important qualification. Research shows that money does increase happiness up to a point — specifically, when it lifts people out of financial stress, providing security for basic needs like housing, food, and healthcare. Beyond that point, however, additional wealth has diminishing returns on happiness. I have known people with considerable wealth who were deeply unhappy, and people with modest means who radiated joy. The relationship between money and happiness is real but limited. What truly matters is the quality of your relationships, a sense of purpose, and good health — none of which can be purchased.

5. What is the most important lesson you have learned about friendship?

模範回答： The most important lesson I have learned is that friendship is about quality, not quantity. When I was younger, I worried about how many friends I had and whether I was popular enough. Over time, I realized that having three or four friends who truly know you, who you can call at 3 a.m. in a crisis, is infinitely more valuable than having fifty acquaintances who barely know anything real about you. I have also learned that friendships need maintenance. They do not survive on memories alone — you have to show up, check in, and make time, even when life gets busy.

6. How would you redesign the typical classroom to improve learning?

模範回答： If I could redesign classrooms, I would make three fundamental changes. First, I would replace fixed rows of desks with flexible, modular furniture that could be reconfigured for different activities — group discussions, independent work, presentations. Second, I would ensure that every wall surface could be written on — whiteboard walls where students can sketch ideas, solve problems collaboratively, and make their thinking visible. Third, I would bring in more natural light and plants, because research consistently shows that biophilic design improves cognitive performance and reduces stress. The physical environment shapes behavior more than we realize, and traditional classrooms were designed for a model of education that no longer serves us.

7. What do you think the world will look like in 2050?

模範回答： By 2050, I believe the world will look both more advanced and more challenged than today. Technologically, artificial intelligence will likely be integrated into most aspects of daily life — transportation, healthcare, education — in ways we can barely imagine now. Renewable energy will hopefully have replaced fossil fuels as the primary power source globally. However, we may also face the accelerating consequences of climate change that are already visible: more extreme weather events, shifting agricultural zones, and migration driven by environmental factors. I am cautiously optimistic. Humanity has solved enormous problems before, but we will need unprecedented global cooperation to navigate the decades ahead successfully.

8. What is one tradition from your culture that you think is worth preserving?

模範回答： One Taiwanese tradition I deeply value is the Lunar New Year family reunion dinner. On New Year’s Eve, family members travel from wherever they are to gather around one table, sharing dishes that each carry symbolic meaning — fish for abundance, dumplings for wealth, long noodles for longevity. In an age where families are increasingly scattered and busy, this tradition forces a pause. It says that no matter what else is happening in your life, on this one night, you come home. To me, this tradition is not really about the food — it is about the ritual assertion that family bonds matter, and that some things are more important than work, convenience, or distance.

9. Do you think competition or cooperation is more important for success in life?

模範回答： I believe both have their place, but cooperation is ultimately more important for meaningful success. Competition can be useful — it pushes us to improve, to train harder, to sharpen our skills. But the world’s most significant achievements — scientific breakthroughs, great companies, social movements — are almost never the work of a single competitive individual. They are the result of people cooperating across disciplines, sharing knowledge, and building on each other’s work. I think our education system overemphasizes competition through rankings and exams, and underemphasizes the collaborative skills that actually drive progress in the real world. If I had to choose one quality to cultivate in a young person, it would be the ability to work well with others.

10. What advice would you give to someone who is about to start learning English?

模範回答： I would give them three pieces of advice. First, do not wait until you feel “ready” to start speaking. Speak from day one, even if it is just simple sentences full of mistakes. The people who improve fastest are the ones who are willing to sound foolish. Second, find content you genuinely enjoy in English — movies, music, podcasts, video games, whatever excites you. Language learning should not feel like homework all the time. Third, be patient and kind to yourself. You will have days when you feel like you are making no progress at all. Those days are part of the process. Language learning is not a straight line upward — it is a messy, uneven, but ultimately beautiful journey. Keep going.

Part 3: 看圖描述與討論

圖片情境描述： 一張「未來圖書館」的概念圖。這不是傳統的安靜讀書空間，而更像一個社區創造中心。一樓有大量的書架，但同時有幾個玻璃隔間的 Podcast 錄音室，有人在裡面錄製節目。二樓有 3D 列印機和雷射切割機的工作坊，一群中學生正在設計機器人模型。戶外露臺上有人在參加讀書會（大家坐在懶骨頭沙發上討論），旁邊有個小型咖啡吧。角落有一面「技能交換板」：有人貼著「我可以教你日文，想學吉他」。

討論問題：

1. Describe what you see in this concept image of a “future library” in as much detail as you can.

模範回答： This concept image depicts a library that has been completely reimagined for the 21st century. On the ground floor, traditional bookshelves still exist but are complemented by glass-walled podcast recording studios where individuals are recording shows. A spiral staircase leads to the second floor, which houses a makerspace with 3D printers and laser cutters where a group of middle school students are working together on a robot model with visible concentration and excitement. Outside on the terrace, a book club is meeting on comfortable beanbag chairs, with a small coffee bar nearby. Perhaps the most intriguing detail is the “skill exchange board” at the corner — a physical noticeboard where community members post offers like one reading “Can teach you Japanese, want to learn guitar.” The space feels less like a silent sanctuary and more like a vibrant community hub where knowledge is not just consumed but created and shared.

2. How do you think the role of libraries should change in the digital age?

模範回答： I believe libraries should evolve from being primarily repositories of books into community centers for learning and creation. In the digital age, anyone can access information instantly from their phone — the library’s traditional advantage of “having the information” has diminished. What cannot be digitized, however, is the value of physical space where people gather to learn together. Libraries could offer equipment that most individuals cannot afford — 3D printers, recording studios, professional software — democratizing access to creative tools. They could host workshops, mentorship programs, and skill-sharing events that build community. Some might worry this changes the library’s core mission, but I would argue that the mission has always been about access to knowledge and opportunity — the methods just need to evolve with the times.

3. What role should physical spaces play in an increasingly digital world?

模範回答： In an increasingly digital world, physical spaces become more important, not less — but their purpose shifts. They are no longer the primary place where we access information or complete transactions, because digital tools do those things more efficiently. Instead, physical spaces become where we experience the things that screens cannot deliver: genuine human connection, serendipitous encounters, hands-on creation, and deep focus free from digital distractions. A well-designed physical space — whether a library, a park, or a coworking hub — provides texture, warmth, and presence that the digital world cannot replicate. I think the future belongs not to purely digital or purely physical experiences, but to experiences that thoughtfully combine the best of both.
