Question

Ben
When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s that! No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．” But about a year ago the boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future．” What does he mean? I simply don’t know．Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes．I’m quite an expert(專家) on computers now and you know, I actually enjoy studying．
Eve
I haven’t much interest in studying．To be honest, I don’t like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing．Just reading, that is, to kill the time．But I do enjoy watching TV．Not that I watch everything．In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully．I’m particularly interested in current affairs(時事)．In some ways I think I learn more in this way than I did at school．
Ted
I’m a very different sort of person－I simply love doing things．That’s why I enjoy sports so much．I mean, actually playing．I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it．I’m even interested in the history of sports．I don’t have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing．Some people say I’m not very good at it, though．
Joan
I should say I have great interest in studying．I’d rather do this than anything else．Since I left school．I’ve taken courses in all sorts of things．I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way．My latest “craze（狂熱）”－if you can call it that －is foreign languages．I’m learning two, not one!

解析試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要講述了四個不同的人在對待時間上的不同觀念和態度，有的喜歡讀書，有的喜歡看電視、進行運動、上夜班課等。
【小題1】細節理解題。根據第一段No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．可知A項正確；由第二段開頭的描述和Just reading, that is, to kill the time．一句可知，他在閱讀上花費的時間是不多的，所以B項正確；第三段I hardly ever watch it on TV可知事實與C項的觀點正好相反；由最后一段可知Joan及其喜歡夜班課，而且最近在學兩門語言，所以D項正確；故選C。
【小題2】細節理解題。根據第一段可知Ben后來上了夜班課并且精通電腦而且喜歡上了學習，說明他充分利用了時間，而最后一段說明Joan是個學習狂，及其熱愛上夜班課，所以他們二人充分利用了時間；故選D。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據最后一段說Joan上了夜班課學習兩門語言，而且很著迷，說明將來他可能會說好一門外語；文中沒有信息說明Eve將來會學電腦；對時事感興趣的是Eve而不是Ben；最后一段說Joan一周去一次市區圖書館，更喜歡的是上夜班課；故選A。
【小題4】細節理解題。根據第一段No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．可知他意為自己終于擺脫學習生活了，所以A項內容描述最準確；故選A。
考點：日常生活類短文閱讀。
