WomanDo you have books at home that you'll never read again? This Saturday and Sunday, the Da'an Public Library is holding its first Book Swap Weekend. Bring up to five books in good condition, and you can take home the same number of books donated by others. Children's books, novels, and study guides are all welcome, but we can't accept magazines or textbooks with writing in them. Books that are left over at the end of the weekend will be donated to schools in rural areas. The event runs from ten a.m. to four p.m. both days.

Question one: What is the purpose of the event?

Question two: Which of these will NOT be accepted?

Question three: What will happen to books that are not taken?

ManMany teenagers believe they can catch up on sleep over the weekend, but research shows this isn't quite true. When you sleep in on Saturday and Sunday, your body clock shifts later, which makes it even harder to fall asleep on Sunday night. Scientists call this social jet lag. A better approach is to keep your wake-up time within an hour of your weekday schedule, even on weekends. If you feel tired in the afternoon, a short nap of twenty minutes is more helpful than a long lie-in.

Question four: What is the talk mainly about?

Question five: What does "social jet lag" refer to?

Question six: What does the speaker recommend?

WomanGood morning, everyone. This is Grace from Human Resources with a few updates. First, starting next month, all staff will be able to work from home one day a week. Please talk with your manager about which day works best for your team. Second, the office will be closed on the twenty-eighth for the building's yearly electrical inspection. And finally, our company sports day has been moved from May to October because of the expected heat. More details will be sent by email this afternoon.

Question seven: What new policy is being introduced?

Question eight: Why will the office be closed on the twenty-eighth?

Question nine: Why was the sports day moved?

ManThe Formosan black bear is Taiwan's only native bear, and it's easy to recognize by the white V-shaped mark on its chest. Today, experts believe there are fewer than one thousand of these bears left in the wild. The biggest threats are traps that hunters set for other animals and the loss of forest habitat. In recent years, the government has worked with local communities to remove traps and pay farmers when bears damage their crops. As a result, reports of bears being injured by traps have dropped sharply.

Question ten: How can people recognize the Formosan black bear?

Question eleven: What is one of the main threats to the bears?

Question twelve: Why do some farmers receive payments?

WomanA new survey by the city government found that more than sixty percent of food delivery riders in Taipei work over ten hours a day. Many riders say they feel pressure to deliver quickly because apps rate them by speed. After several serious accidents, some delivery companies have announced that they will stop showing customers a timer, and will instead give riders extra time when it rains. The city is also considering special parking areas for delivery scooters near busy restaurants.

Question thirteen: What did the survey find?

Question fourteen: Why do riders feel pressure to be fast?

Question fifteen: What have some companies decided to do?
