英銘老師告訴你其實閱讀測驗的解題並不難，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中，有提到“television” (電視)、 “more visual” (更視覺性)、“less use of the imagination”(更少使用想像力)，所以文章一定跟 “電視是視覺性的娛樂，使大家越來越少使用想像力”有關。
|
With the invention and development of television, entertainment | |
|
has grown much more visual in character and is demanding less and | |
|
less use of the imagination, considered by many to be men’s | |
|
greatest faculty; but its greatest inadequacy lies in its inability to | |
|
5 |
exercise just those creative powers in men which are called upon and |
|
developed in the pursuit of a worthwhile hobby. This lack is not | |
|
serious while a man is still fully employed in his day-to-day work | |
|
which itself often gives him chances to create either with his hands or | |
|
with his mind. At this time he seeks only some form of relaxation in | |
|
10 |
his leisure. There comes a time, however, when he must retire from |
|
his occupation because of age, and it is then that these shallower | |
|
pastimes, useful enough as a form of relaxation, might cease to | |
|
satisfy the still active man. Today, many elderly people are finding | |
|
this to be true, and seem constantly to be suffering from a sense of | |
|
15 |
frustration after retirement, which reveals itself in short temper and |
|
slow degeneration of health, the two most common symptoms. |
