Good morning and welcome to Scotland．I hope you had a good journey and are not too tired    48    morning．My name is Ada and I am here to help    49   ．I want to tell you a few things    50    you may find useful．Firstly, the banks．They are open from nine thirty in the morning until four o’clock in the afternoon．That’s nine thirty until four．They are open every day    51    Sunday．But on Sunday you can change money in the hotel．Second, the buses．You can take a bus from the hotel to the city center．It’s the number twenty-one．You may find    52    very convenient to travel by bus here because there are buses every ten minutes    53    you won’t have to wait long．You’ll find the bus stop outside the hotel．A ticket to the city center costs sixty pence．   54   , tonight we’re having a party for you in the restaurant, where I hope I’ll see you all    55   ．Thank you.

The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come．Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time．Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.

The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges．Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find．“Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says．For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once put into a dress．But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.

Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support．Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs（企業(yè)家） who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable．It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago．This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material．“Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.

Some analysts are less sure．Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago．Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer．When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind．But—thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.

From the earliest times，man has been interested in art．People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures．

Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris，F(xiàn)rance．The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries．

During times of peace，new treasures were brought in．During days of war，many treasures were stolen，and the buildings were damaged．

When Francis I became king of France in 1515，he brought in artists from many countries．One of the artists was Leonardo Da Vinci from Italy．Da Vinci's"Mona Lisa"is the best known painting in the museum today．

IV. 閱讀理解（共16 小題，每小題2 分，滿分32 分）

Recently I gave my adult students homework. It was “go to someone you love and tell them you love them.” It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.

It sounds like very tough homework since most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the generation of men that were taught expressing emotions is not “macho (陽剛之氣).” Showing feelings or crying was just not done. So this was very threatening homework for some.

At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the women to volunteer, as was usually the case, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand, quite moved and a bit shaken.

As he unfolded out of his chair (all 1.85 meters of him), he began by saying, “Dennis, I was quite angry with you last week when you gave us this homework. Who were you to tell me to do something that personal?”

“But as I began driving home my conscience (良心)started telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say ‘I love you’ to.”

“Five years ago, my father and I had a severe disagreement and really never settled it since then. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But even then, we hardly spoke to each other.”

“So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him. It’s strange, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.”

59. The homework is threatening for some students because_________.

A. they are middle-aged people     B. they are not macho enough

C. they were taught to hide their emotions   D. they didn’t know how to show feelings

60. From the passage we know that_________.

A. the adult students have classes in the day time only

B. not all the adult students in the writer’s class are male

C. the man refused to meet his father after their quarrel

D. the man quickly decided to say “I love you” to his father

61. The underlined phrase “unfolded out of his chair” in Para 4 is closest in meaning to_________.

A. stood on his chair straight B. sat quietly in the chair

C. bent himself over his chair       D. raised himself slowly from the chair

62 What does the man imply by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. He felt it too strange to say “I love you” to his father.

B. He felt relaxed just thinking of saying “I love you” to his father.

C. He felt very relaxed after saying “I love you” to his father.

D. He had to lift a heavy load off his chest before saying “I love you”.
