    For many years, stress has been perceived as a possible cause of illness. Now some health experts have begun to look into the positive effects that stressful activity can have on people.


    It has been observed that patients report feelings of greater well-being after completing stressful tasks that have been set for them by their doctors. It is believed that such mildly stressful activities—organizing the children to go on vacation, preparing for a dinner party in just one afternoon—can improve our health and help to protect us from illness such as heart disease.


    New research supports these views. When we are forced to carry out a task under pressure, the stress caused can damage cells in both our brain and body. The cells react to this “attack” by producing proteins to repair themselves. Through this process of self-repair, cells become stronger and more resistant to future stress and even disease.


    The reason for investigating “stress therapy” was the observation that, as we get older, the body becomes increasingly less efficient. That’s why the body needs to be continually put under low levels of stress, to stimulate the mind and body. However, it is important that this is the right kind of stress. Short-term stress is beneficial as long as it is not too intense and will give a sense of achievement, like that gained by completing a task like putting together furniture following the instruction manual. Long-term stress can be harmful as it is often associated with situations for which there is no easy solution.

    考古題 101年 專業職(一) 克漏字



    Most people would agree that their lives have been positively affected by the Internet and e-mail. The Internet allows us to access large amounts of information on nearly any topic quickly and cheaply. E-mail allows us to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues almost instantly even when they are on another continent. However, a question on many people’s minds concerns privacy. Does a company or government agency have the right to keep a record of the sites you visit on the Internet? Does your employer have the right to read your e-mail message? 


    Democratic societies create large zones of privacy for individuals by limiting the power of public and private authorities to look into anyone’s personal matters. Although privacy is still a very important value, the computer age has brought a new debate over privacy rights.

    The current economic climate may have inspired teens to get a job and help out with household expenses, but new research indicates that working too much gets in the way of schoolwork.


    According to a new study published in Child Development, working more than 20 hours a week while in high school can lead to academic and behavior problems. The findings, researchers said, are meant as a warning. “Parents, educators, and policymakers should monitor and constrain the number of hours adolescents work while they are enrolled in high school,” Kathryn C. Monahan, a postdoctoral research scientist who led the study at the University of Washington, said in a press release.


    To reach this conclusion, researchers from the University of Washington, University of Virginia, and Temple University analyzed longitudinal data collected over two separate one-year spans in the late 1980s that was reanalyzed in 1993. Using a sample of about 1,800 students in 10th and 11th grades, researchers compared the performance of those who got jobs to that of similar teens who didn’t work. They ultimately discovered that logging more than 20 hours a week at work led to declines in school engagement and affected how far students were expected to go with their schooling. Researchers also found increases in problem behavior such as stealing, carrying a weapon, and using alcohol and illegal drugs among students who worked that much.


    In contrast, working 20 hours or less per week had negligible academic, psychological, or behavioral effects with one caveat: Students who started working and then cut back on their hours or quit their jobs altogether were still at an increased risk of developing these problems. “Although working during high school is unlikely to turn law-abiding teenagers into felons or cause students to flunk out of school, the extent of the adverse effects we found is not trivial,” Monahan explained. “Even a small decline in school engagement or increase in problem behavior may be of concern to many parents.”

    考古題 100年 營運職 閱讀測驗 第三篇


    Negotiators often do not bother to ask questions because they assume the other party will not answer them. This is a colossal mistake. While there is no guarantee that someone will answer your questions, one thing is certain: your questions are more likely to be answered if you ask them than if you don’t. But asking the important questions is not enough; the real trick is in knowing how to ask them. 


    For example, if you want to know the other side’s reservation value, it is usually futile to ask them for their bottom-line figures; they are unlikely to answer. But you can ask other questions that they will answer, and that will give you essentially the same information. Consider these less-threatening queries: 

    “ What do you plan to do with the products you’re purchasing?” 

    “ Tell me more about your customers.” 

    “ How does this deal fit into your overall business strategy?”


    These questions are simple and straightforward. Answers solicited from these questions can be useful to understand the other party’s position. Unfortunately, many negotiators do not ask such indirect questions because they are too busy arguing the merits of their case. Asking questions is especially important anytime you are surprised or skeptical.

    Last fall, 80 of these type-A students at Stanford Graduate School of Business signed up for marketing professor Jennifer Aaker’s course called “Designing Happiness.” Aaker’s work is gaining attention not just in academia but also in corporate America; she has worked with AOL, Adobe, and Facebook, among other companies, helping them figure out how to use happiness to increase employees’ productivity and woo customers. If her hypotheses are correct, marketing happiness could be one of the few ways businesses can still appeal to people in a manner that feels authentic. “The idea of brands enabling happiness and providing greater meaning in the world is powerful,” Aaker says. “People have an aversion to anything that feels overly manufactured.”


    Aaker, who studied psychology alongside marketing, has spent the past several years researching her subject: how people find happiness, keep it, manipulate it, and use it as a resource. Her research defines happiness as “a state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.” In the aftermath of financial crisis, national morale is low; marketers see the appeal of promising happiness along with their products. 


    Aaker’s students learned that the anticipation of a pleasurable experience feels as good as finishing an onerous task. They discovered that a meaningful experience often makes people happier than moments of pure pleasure. And they also learned that younger people feel happiest when they are excited, while older people equate happiness with peacefulness.

    The amygdala is a structure in the brain, named for its almond-like shape. It is important because it plays a central role in our emotional responses and behaviors. The amygdala helps us identify and respond to potential threats. This primitive “fight or flight” response is crucial for survival.


    Daniel Goleman, psychologist, first introduced the term “amygdala hijack” in his 1995 book, “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ.”


    Emotions take two pathways in the brain. One involves the primitive emotional response processed by the amygdala, and the other is the subsequent emotional reaction with the participation of the prefrontal lobe. “Amygdala hijack” refers to the brain being dominated by the amygdala, causing a person’s behavior to be emotionally kidnapped, resulting in an uncontrolled and irrational state of emotions.

    考古題 100年 營運職 閱讀測驗 第一篇



    Getting a good night’s sleep has long been known to cement the day’s memories, moving them from short-term storage into long-term holding, but new research shows that it’s not automatic. A night of z’s is helpful only if you know a test is coming or, more generally, if you explicitly tell yourself you’ll need the information in the future. In other words, don’t expect eight hours of shut-eye to help you on a pop quiz.


    In an elegant series of experiments, scientists at the University of Lübeck in Germany tested memory by having volunteers learn 40 word pairs, or the location of 15 cards in a Concentration-type game plus a sequence of finger taps (pinkie, index, forefinger…). Sleep improved retention only in those who had been told they’d be tested 10 hours later, not in those for whom the quiz came as a surprise, says a report in the Journal of Neuroscience. “Merely expecting that a memory will be used in a test determines whether sleep benefits its consolidation,” says Lübeck’s Jan Born.


    The new research is the first to show how sleep works its memory magic. EEGs found that the “test is coming” group spent more time in deep, slow-wave sleep than did the group not anticipating a test. Slow electrical waves act as a replay button, causing the hippocampus to reactivate new memories and synchronizing the neocortex so that it accepts them into long-term storage. This expectant group also had more “sleep spindles,” bursts of electrical activity that prime networks in the cortex to store memories arriving from the hippocampus and to integrate them into existing knowledge, which makes retrieval easier.

    # 原創音樂(original music) 是什麼？



    # 好音樂(good music) 有哪些特點？

    考古題 100年 專業職(一) 閱讀測驗 



    Music which is original is individual and personal. That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a particular composer. It has particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from another. If you can recognize the style of a composer, you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before.


    A basket-maker has the skill of weaving and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns. Similarly, in music a composer organizes his melodies and rhythm and combines sounds to create harmony. A composer may be capable of thinking up very good, original tunes, yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the workmanship is poor, the final result will not be up to standard. Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings. These may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly.


    Good music will stand the test of time. It will not go out of fashion but will continue to be enjoyed and respected long after it is first introduced. It will gain a kind of permanent status while bad music will disappear and be forgotten quickly in pop music, where the general rule seems to be “the newer the better,” the test of time is the hardest test of all to pass.
