Friday, meet 7:40 at the classroom
Bus to the coast, then walk 6 km to the waterfall
Back at school by 16:00

Rules for the Forest Path

Open 6:00 to 18:00 · Free · About two hours

  • Stay on the path; the ground beside it is soft and full of mud
  • Take everything home with you, even a small piece of paper
  • Do not feed any animal you meet, especially the monkeys; they are most active at noon and may make you laugh, but keep away

The path is level for the first kilometer and then rises. If you have a young child who needs to sleep, or find walking hard, the first part and back is a pleasant hour on its own.

There is one faucet with clean water, at the middle point. After that there is none, so fill your bottle there. A babysitter is not needed: children over eight who can follow the rules may walk with a group, but somebody in the group must be an adult.

全文中譯

開放時間 6:00 至 18:00 · 免費 · 約兩小時

  • 請走在步道上,旁邊地面鬆軟且滿是爛泥
  • 所有東西請帶回家,連一小張紙也不例外
  • 請勿餵食任何遇到的動物,尤其是猴子;牠們中午最活躍,可能會逗笑你,但請保持距離

步道前一公里是平的,之後開始上坡。如果你帶著需要睡覺的幼兒,或覺得步行吃力,只走前段再折返,本身就是愉快的一小時。

只有一個水龍頭提供乾淨的水,位於路程中點。之後就沒有了,請在那裡把水壺裝滿。不需要保母:八歲以上、能遵守規則的孩子可以隨隊同行,但隊伍中必須有一位成年人。

全文中譯

親愛的吳老師:

您要我們寫一個改變過的地方。我選了西海岸奶奶村子下方的那片海灘。

我媽媽小時候,沙灘往外大約延伸兩百公尺。在一張舊照片裡,她站的位置離海水很遠。如今在傍晚的金色光線中,海水已經到了馬路邊,原本在海灘後方的那座小廟,現在每個月有兩次後牆會泡到水。

我奶奶不說「氣候」這個詞。她說海變貪心了。我不確定這兩種說法講的是不是不同的事。如果可以的話,我想把這個主題寫成班上的專題。

ARTICLE
The Land Under the Names

Every hill and river in this country carries a name, and most names were given twice. One name came from the people who lived there first; another was written later on a formal, official map.

Sometimes the two are close. Often they are not. A river called Clear Water in one language may be named after a person in the other. When only one name is printed, a memory quietly disappears.

Some towns now put both names on the sign. It costs almost nothing and changes nothing on the ground. But a child who reads two names learns something a single name can never teach: that this place was here, and full of people, before the map arrived.

全文中譯

這個國家的每一座山、每一條河都有名字,而大多數的名字被取過兩次。一個名字來自最早住在那裡的人;另一個則是後來寫在正式官方地圖上的。

有時候兩者很接近,但常常不是。一條在某種語言裡叫做「清水」的河,在另一種語言裡可能以某個人的名字命名。當只有一個名字被印出來,一段記憶就悄悄消失了。

現在有些鄉鎮把兩個名字都放在路牌上。這幾乎不花錢,地面上也沒有任何改變。但一個讀到兩個名字的孩子,學到了單一名字永遠教不了的事:這個地方在地圖到來之前就已經在這裡,而且充滿了人。

Questions 28–30
28What is the main idea of this article?
AOfficial maps are always wrong
BThe government should change river names
CShowing both names keeps a memory that one name loses
DOld names are simple to remember
✔ 正確答案:(C) Showing both names keeps a memory that one name loses
中譯這篇文章的主旨是什麼?
解析文章說明雙名並列讓孩子理解地方在地圖之前就存在,主旨是保留兩個名字才留住記憶。
29According to the writer, what happens when only one name is printed?
AThe map becomes clearer
BPeople stop using the river
CA memory quietly disappears
DThe sign costs more
✔ 正確答案:(C) A memory quietly disappears
中譯根據作者,只印一個名字會發生什麼事?
解析When only one name is printed, a memory quietly disappears。
30What does the writer say about putting both names on a sign?
AIt changes the land itself
BIt should be done only in large towns
CIt confuses visitors
DIt costs almost nothing but teaches a child something
✔ 正確答案:(D) It costs almost nothing but teaches a child something
中譯作者對於把兩個名字都放上路牌有什麼看法?
解析It costs almost nothing and changes nothing on the ground. But a child who reads two names learns something。
