( ) The general manager _______ a creative management style after working here for 5 years.
(A) involved (B) devolved
(C) evolved (D) revolved
●你答對了嗎？
【解答】(C) evolved
【中譯】總經理在工作五年後逐漸發展出獨創性的管理風格。
【解析】很多人常常被這四個字搞混，雖然都是動詞，但是意思完全不同，千萬不能搞錯。背單字的時候，可以把字首拆開來背，involve 的字首為 in，in 的中文為「進來、加入」，revolve 的 re 為「再一次」，devolve 的 de 則為「分開」的意思。如果不清楚四個單字的中文意思，此題也可從後面的 style 和 work 來判斷。

「商業貿易篇」閱讀高分測驗
If you never borrow money, don’t plan on purchasing a house or a car on loan, credit rating is not important to you at all. But if you do, your credit rating will then make a contribution to whether a bank or other merchants will ratify your loan application or not. A credit rating is a ranking of how likely you are able to reimburse a lender on time. It is not directly linked to how much money you make, but rather to how well your capability of managing your debt is. So, how do we promote our credit rating?
First of all, have a few credit cards which you constantly pay with. But remember, having interest payments on your credit cards is not good and missing overdue payments is much worse. Either situation will result in a lower score for up to a couple years. Secondly, have some loan from a bank that is paid off on time and in full. A line of credit is a good option, but a mortgage with a bank is even better. Lastly, an important principle is to avoid bad debt. If you do not pay off the money you owe promptly or try to avoid it, the creditors can chase after you in court. And your credit history will consequently fall quickly, and will take years to prosper again.
1. According to the article, what can reduce your credit rating?
(A) Having a mortgage loan with a bank.
(B) Avoiding missing overdue payments.
(C) Trying to avoid the money you owe.
(D) Planning to purchase a house in cash.
2. Which of the following statements is incorrect about credit rating?
(A) It’s a ranking of how likely you are able to reimburse a lender on time.
(B) It makes a contribution to whether a bank will ratify you loan application.
(C) It is not important to those who never borrow money from a bank.
(D) It is directly linked to how much money you make.

正解：1. (C) 2.(D)
【文章中譯】如果你從不借錢、沒打算貸款買房子或車子，信用評價對你來說一點都不重要。不過如果你會這麼做，那麼你的信用評價就會是銀行或其他商家是否同意核准你的貸款申請之重要憑據。信用評價即為你可能準時還款的等級。這跟你賺多少錢沒有直接關係，而是跟你負債管理能力的好壞有關。那麼，我們如何提升自己的信用評價呢？
首先，持有幾張你會持續用來消費的信用卡。但是要記住，使用循環利息不好，但帳款逾期未繳更糟。以上任何一種情況都會導致長達數年較低的信用評價。其次，有準時繳付並繳足的銀行貸款。信用貸款是不錯的選擇，但向銀行做抵押貸款會更好。最後，一項重要的原則就是避免呆帳。如果你欠錢不即時還款或試圖賴帳，債權人可以把你告到法院去。那麼一來你的信用紀錄會快速下降，而且要好幾年時間才能恢復。
【測驗題詳解＆答題技巧】
1. 根據文章內容，什麼會使得信用評價下降？
(A) 跟銀行做抵押貸款。 (B) 避免逾期帳款未繳。
(C) 試圖賴掉所欠款項。 (D) 計劃以現金購屋。
【答題技巧】由文章內容可找到選項 A 與 B 皆有利提高信用評價，因此可刪除不選。選項 D 以現金購屋表示不會與銀行產生借貸，亦與信用評價無關，亦可刪去。在文末提到賴賬會使債權人告到法院，使得信用評價迅速下降，因此正解為 C。
2. 下列何項關於信用評價之敘述是不正確的？
(A) 此為你可能準時還款的等級。
(B) 此為銀行是否核准你的貸款申請之依據。
(C) 它對不打算向銀行借錢的人並不重要。
(D) 它與你賺多少錢有直接關係。
【答題技巧】從文中關於信用評價的描述中，it is not directly linked to how much money you make...「與你賺多少錢沒有直接關係」，與選項 D 不符，因此 D 為正解。
