【正文】 onically, it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahl?s passion. Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory. Every so often, Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler box of new chocolates to taste and grade. They were using the students— “the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world” to test out their new inventions. This was when Dahl?s imagination took flight. He pictured factories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge(軟糖 ) and “all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves”. “It was lovely dreaming those dreams… when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children, I remembered those little cardboard boxes and the newlyinvented chocolates inside them, and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” For the record, Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream.

Hyperthymia is general optimism— the ability to see every down as a beginning to an up, every market crash as a runup to a boom. But that es at a price: spring babies are also easier to be affected by the opposite of hyperthymia: clinical depression. Ground zero for the condition— according to a massive study of 58,000 subjects in the . in 2021— is among people born in May. November babies have the lowest depression rates. It?s mostly glad news for June, July and August babies. No SAD(Abbreviation for seasonal affective disorder: a medical condition in which a person does not have much energy and enthusiasm during the winter because of the reduced period of natural light. ) for you— at least nothing caused by the light levels after your birth, though there may be some impact from mom having carried you in December, January and February. Summer babies have some of the same hyperthymic characteristics as spring babies, but that can be offset by cyclothymia(躁郁情緒 )—rapid cycling between high and low moods. Still, that?s probably not a warning sign of bipolar disorder。每段對(duì)話(huà) 或獨(dú)白 讀兩遍。每段對(duì)話(huà)僅讀一遍。 2. 回答選擇題時(shí)，選出每小題答案后，用鉛筆把答題卡上對(duì)應(yīng)題目的答 案涂黑。 第一節(jié)（共 5 小題 ；每小題 分，滿(mǎn)分 分 ） 聽(tīng)下面 5段對(duì)話(huà)。 1.
