OW dyainst factories that cause pollution. 閱讀測驗3 But the universal of our climate message of crisis wareness hing a fever pitch across the with increasing urgency, a pparent every day. For the Vandana Shiva will never forget a lesson she learned at the age of 13. Her parents insisted that she should wear clothing made only of homespun cotton. One day, Vandana, having returned from a boarding school to her home, demanded a nylon dress, the fashion followed by her rich friends. Her mother agreed. “If that is what you want, of course you shall have it,” she said. “But remember, your nylon dress will help a rich man buy a bigger car. And the cotton that you wear will buy a poor family at least one meal.” Did she buy the nylon dress? Of course not! Maybe this experience led to her resolution to fight for social justice in her later years. Now 60, ever visiting Taiwan in 2010, Vandana's main concern these days is how to preserve Indian traditional crops. This is severely attacked by many global companies. They encourage farmers to grow so-called high-yielding crops; many farmers, therefore, turn to high-tech methods and depend on bioengineered seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. As a result, hundreds of traditional crops are disappearing. Contrary to expectation, high-tech agriculture can not rescue Indians from starvation. Bioengineered seeds are expensive and cannot adapt to local conditions. Hundreds of Indian farmers have committed suicide during the past five he world ironment. ns in 1970. years because of failed harvests. But there is hope. Many farmers are returning to traditional methods promoted by Navdanya, an organization based in New Delhi that Vandana helped found 20 years ago. Navdanya encourages farmers to produce native varieties of crops that can be grown with natural fertilizer and no artificial chemicals. It also helps local farmers form their own self-supporting organization and seed bank. nean? +明一 生能但奇 63

1 2. 3 4. D) Basically, they go on voyage after voyage in search of an immense treasure buried somewhere by the King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger. B C 閱讀測驗1 There he flies, turns, lands and—to da- a disaster is saved, by Superman. “Come on,” you roll your eyes. “That's NOT real.” But admit it -we LOVE superman. Since the debut of the prototypical superhero Superman in 1938, stories of various superheroes have dominated American comic books and crossed over into such other media as films and animations. Versatile as these super characters may be, they do share certain traits. We know the double-life secret that Peter Parker is Spider-man, Bruce Wayne the Batman, and Clark Kent the Man of Steel. The secret identity has a civilian job while the “super-me” puts on an eye-catching costume, or custom-made accessories like Wonder Woman's bracelets. We are concerned that the bad guys play tricks so as to hurt these protectors. Fortunately enough, our superheroes normally have a base to go for “restoration” to. The Batcave has everything the Batman needs. Isn't that great? Furthermore, these super icons may have some backups and do not always have to work independently. The Fantastic Four or X-men team up as they have common origins or sponsors. These super teams are like a marvelous circle. Nevertheless, there are downsides being a superhero. Credits are not always given as the Batman and Spider-man meet with public skepticism or outright hostility. A superhero may even lose control as the Hulk has an issue with his violent alter ego. We love to see the superheroes think big and achieve big. They for sure reflect what we are and what we want to be. In summary, superheroes are popular and iconic because they each represent a large part of a society's traits and values. Everyone can relate to at least one hero and villain, because those heroes are designed to show the best parts of society, and the villains represent the worst parts. 5 What can we say about the author's tone? (A) Angry. (B) Formal. (C) Harsh. (D) Relaxed. 48 主题5 藝文世界
