In recent years, 3D printing technology has (21) _____ a wide range of industries, from manufacturing to medicine. Originally developed in the 1980s for rapid prototyping, 3D printing has since evolved into a versatile tool with applications that few could have imagined just a decade ago.
One of the most exciting applications of 3D printing is in the field of medicine. Doctors and researchers are now using the technology to create custom-made prosthetics, dental implants, and even human tissue. Because 3D printers can produce objects tailored to the exact specifications of individual patients, they offer significant (22) _____ over mass-produced medical devices. Moreover, the technology can produce these items more quickly and (23) _____ than (24) _____ manufacturing methods, which often require expensive molds and lengthy production times.
The construction industry has also begun to embrace 3D printing. Several companies around the world have successfully printed entire houses, (25) _____ walls, floors, and even furniture. Proponents of this approach argue that 3D-printed houses can be built at a fraction of the cost and time of conventionally constructed homes, making housing more (26) _____ to people in need. The technology could be especially valuable in disaster relief efforts, where shelters need to be constructed rapidly with (27) _____ resources.
In the realm of education, 3D printers are providing students with hands-on learning experiences that were previously impossible. Rather than merely reading about geometric shapes or historical artifacts in textbooks, students can now hold three-dimensional models in their hands.

四、篇章結構（Text Organization）— 5 題，每題 2 分，共 10 分
說明： 以下短文共有 5 個句子被拿掉，請從方框中的 6 個選項（其中一個為多餘選項）中，選出最適合的句子填入各空格，使文章結構完整且連貫。
選項方框：
(A) For instance, students who struggled with a particular math concept in class can review video explanations at home and arrive the next day better prepared.
(B) This frees up valuable classroom time for interactive activities, group discussions, and one-on-one support from the teacher.
(C) In recent years, however, a growing number of educators have begun experimenting with an alternative approach known as the “flipped classroom.”
(D) As a result, students often leave class feeling confused and must complete their homework without any guidance.
(E) Many schools have reported significant improvements in student performance and engagement after adopting the flipped classroom model.
(F) In a traditional classroom, the teacher delivers a lecture during class time, and students are then expected to practice what they have learned by completing homework assignments on their own.
The traditional model of education has remained largely unchanged for centuries. (31) _______________ This approach, while straightforward, has several significant limitations.
Under this conventional system, students must absorb new information during a fixed class period, regardless of whether they are able to keep up with the pace of the lecture. (32) _______________
(33) _______________ In a flipped classroom, the traditional order of learning is reversed. Instead of being introduced to new material during class, students watch pre-recorded video lectures or read assigned materials at home before coming to school. (34) _______________
The benefits of this approach are substantial. Students can learn at their own pace, pausing or rewinding video lectures as needed to ensure they fully understand the material. (35) _______________ Teachers, meanwhile, gain more opportunities to identify and address individual students’ learning difficulties during class, rather than simply delivering the same lecture to an entire room of students with different needs and abilities.
小心陷阱

五、閱讀測驗（Reading Comprehension）— 16 題，每題 2 分，共 32 分
說明： 以下共有四篇文章，每篇文章各有 4 個選擇題，請根據文章內容選出最適當的答案。
Passage 1: The Power of Habit
Every day, we perform hundreds of actions without consciously thinking about them. From brushing our teeth in the morning to checking our phones before bed, these automatic behaviors—habits—shape a large proportion of our daily lives. According to researchers at Duke University, habits account for approximately 40% of our daily actions. Understanding how habits work, therefore, is not just a matter of academic interest; it is essential for anyone who wants to improve their life.
At the neurological level, a habit consists of a three-step loop: a cue, a routine, and a reward. The cue is a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. The routine is the behavior itself, whether physical, mental, or emotional. The reward is what your brain gets from completing the routine, helping it decide whether this particular loop is worth remembering for the future. Over time, this loop becomes more and more automatic as the brain essentially “chunks” the sequence of actions together so that it can be performed with minimal conscious effort.
The good news is that while habits can be hard to break, they can also be deliberately changed. According to Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit, the key to changing a habit is to follow the “Golden Rule” of habit change: keep the same cue and the same reward, but change the routine. If, for example, you have a habit of eating a sugary snack every afternoon (cue: 3 p.m. energy slump; routine: eating cookies; reward: sugar rush and temporary energy), you can try replacing the cookies with a short walk or a piece of fruit. The cue and the reward remain essentially the same, but the routine—the part you want to change—is different.
Research has also shown that belief and community play a crucial role in habit change. People who believe that change is possible and who have a support system in place are significantly more likely to succeed in replacing old habits with new, healthier ones. This is why support groups can be so effective: they provide both the belief that change is possible and the social reinforcement needed to sustain it.
Understanding the science of habits does not make changing them effortless, but it does make it possible. By identifying the cues that trigger unwanted behaviors, experimenting with new routines, and creating environments that support positive change, anyone can harness the power of habit to become the person they want to be.
36. What is the main topic of this passage?
(A) The history of psychological research at Duke University (B) How habits work and how they can be changed (C) The dangers of eating too many sugary snacks (D) Why some people are unable to form any habits
37. According to the passage, what are the three components of a habit loop?
(A) Belief, community, and support (B) Morning, afternoon, and evening (C) Cue, routine, and reward (D) Physical, mental, and emotional
38. What does the “Golden Rule” of habit change suggest?
(A) Completely eliminate the cue and the reward (B) Keep the cue and the reward but replace the routine (C) Add more rewards to the existing routine (D) Change all three parts of the habit loop at once
39. According to the passage, why are support groups effective for habit change?
(A) They provide financial incentives for members (B) They offer free exercise equipment (C) They provide belief in change and social reinforcement (D) They enforce strict punishment for bad habits
Passage 2: The Lost City of Petra
Hidden within the desert canyons of southern Jordan lies one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in the world: the ancient city of Petra. Carved directly into rose-colored sandstone cliffs, Petra was the thriving capital of the Nabataean kingdom from around the 4th century BC until it was annexed by the Roman Empire in 106 AD. For centuries, its location remained a closely guarded secret, known only to the Bedouin tribes who lived in the surrounding desert.
The Nabataeans, originally a nomadic Arab tribe, achieved something remarkable in the harsh desert environment: they built a wealthy and sophisticated civilization centered on trade. Petra’s strategic location along the incense and spice trade routes connecting Arabia, Egypt, and the Mediterranean made it an essential hub for commerce. Caravans carrying frankincense, myrrh, and spices from southern Arabia would pass through Petra on their way to markets in Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and the Nabataeans grew rich by taxing and protecting these trade routes.
Perhaps the most astonishing achievement of the Nabataeans was their mastery of water management. In a region that receives only about 15 centimeters of rainfall per year, they constructed an elaborate system of dams, cisterns, and channels that collected and stored every drop of rainwater. This engineering marvel not only provided drinking water for the city’s estimated 20,000-30,000 inhabitants but also supplied enough water to sustain lush gardens and fountains—an astonishing display of wealth and sophistication in the desert.
The architectural wonders of Petra are equally breathtaking. The city contains hundreds of tombs, temples, and monuments carved directly into the cliff faces, the most famous of which is Al-Khazneh, or “The Treasury.” Standing nearly 40 meters tall, its elaborate facade blends Nabataean, Greek, and Egyptian architectural styles, reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of the civilization that created it. Despite its name, The Treasury was likely a royal tomb rather than a storehouse of treasure.
For centuries, Petra remained unknown to the outside world until it was “rediscovered” by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. Today, it is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Middle East and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking through the narrow Siq, the winding canyon that serves as the main entrance to the city, and emerging before the magnificent facade of The Treasury remains one of the most awe-inspiring experiences a traveler can have.
40. According to the passage, what was the main source of the Nabataeans’ wealth?
(A) Farming in the fertile desert soil (B) Gold mining in the surrounding mountains (C) Trade along the incense and spice routes (D) Selling sandstone to neighboring kingdoms
41. What made the Nabataeans’ water management system so impressive?
(A) It used technology imported from China (B) It sustained a large population in an extremely dry region (C) It was the first system ever to use underground pipes (D) It could turn salt water into fresh water
42. What does the passage say about Al-Khazneh (The Treasury)?
(A) It was used to store gold and jewels (B) It is the smallest building in Petra (C) It was likely a royal tomb rather than a treasury (D) It was built entirely by Roman architects
43. Who rediscovered Petra for the outside world?
(A) A Roman emperor in 106 AD (B) A local Bedouin guide (C) Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812 (D) A team of UNESCO archaeologists
Passage 3: The Science of Laughter
Laughter is one of the most universal human behaviors, yet scientists are still working to fully understand it. We laugh when we hear a joke, but we also laugh when we are nervous, when we are tickled, and sometimes for no apparent reason at all. What purpose does this strange vocalization serve, and why is it such a fundamental part of the human experience?
From an evolutionary perspective, laughter appears to serve primarily as a social bonding mechanism. Research by neuroscientist Robert Provine found that people are approximately 30 times more likely to laugh in social situations than when they are alone. Furthermore, studies have shown that we use laughter not primarily as a response to humor, but as a way to signal friendliness, build rapport, and strengthen social connections. In conversations, the person speaking laughs nearly 50% more often than the person listening, suggesting that laughter serves as a form of social punctuation rather than merely a response to humor.
The health benefits of laughter have been the subject of considerable research. Studies have found that genuine laughter can reduce stress hormones, increase the production of immune cells, and trigger the release of endorphins—the body’s natural painkillers. One notable study by cardiologists at the University of Maryland found that people with heart disease were 40% less likely to laugh in humorous situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease, suggesting a possible link between humor and heart health.
Interestingly, laughter is not unique to humans. Scientists have identified laughter-like vocalizations in various animals, including chimpanzees, gorillas, rats, and even dolphins. In great apes, laughter-like sounds occur primarily during play and physical contact such as tickling, supporting the theory that the evolutionary origins of laughter lie in social bonding and play behavior rather than humor. Young chimpanzees produce panting sounds when tickled, and rats emit high-frequency chirps during play that researchers consider a primitive form of laughter.
In the modern world, laughter continues to be an essential tool for navigating social life and maintaining psychological health. Whether through stand-up comedy, funny videos, or simply sharing a joke with friends, the ability to laugh—and to make others laugh—remains one of the most distinctive and valuable capacities of the human species.
44. According to the passage, what is the primary function of laughter from an evolutionary perspective?
(A) To help people breathe more efficiently (B) To serve as a social bonding mechanism (C) To improve people’s ability to tell jokes (D) To warn others of potential danger
45. What did Robert Provine’s research reveal about laughter?
(A) People laugh more when they are alone (B) Laughter is primarily a response to humor (C) People are about 30 times more likely to laugh in social settings than alone (D) Listeners laugh more than speakers during conversations
46. Which of the following animals is NOT mentioned as producing laughter-like vocalizations?
(A) Chimpanzees (B) Rats (C) Dolphins (D) Cats
47. According to the passage, what did the University of Maryland study find?
(A) Laughter causes heart disease (B) People with heart disease laughed less in humorous situations (C) All heart patients eventually recover through laughter (D) Laughter has no effect on heart health
Passage 4: Microplastics
In recent years, scientists have made a disturbing discovery: tiny particles of plastic, known as microplastics, are everywhere. These particles—defined as plastic fragments smaller than 5 millimeters in diameter—have been found in the deepest ocean trenches, on remote mountain peaks, in the air we breathe, and even inside the human body. The ubiquity of microplastics has raised serious concerns about their potential impact on human health and the environment.
Microplastics come from two main sources. Primary microplastics are manufactured to be small, such as the tiny beads used in cosmetics and cleaning products. Secondary microplastics result from the gradual breakdown of larger plastic items—water bottles, synthetic clothing, fishing nets, and plastic bags—that fragment into ever-smaller pieces over time. Washing a single load of synthetic clothing, for example, can release hundreds of thousands of microplastic fibers into the water system.
The sheer scale of plastic pollution is staggering. Scientists estimate that approximately 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, and much of this eventually breaks down into microplastics. A 2019 study estimated that the average person ingests approximately 5 grams of plastic per week—roughly the weight of a credit card—through food, water, and even the air we breathe. While the long-term health effects of this exposure remain uncertain, laboratory studies have shown that microplastics can cause inflammation, cell damage, and other adverse effects in animals.
Perhaps even more concerning is the discovery of nanoplastics, particles so small that they can cross biological barriers and enter individual cells. Recent research has detected nanoplastics in human blood, lungs, and even in the placentas of pregnant women, raising profound questions about their potential effects on fetal development. However, the scientific community remains cautious, emphasizing that detecting a substance in the body is not the same as proving that it causes harm.
Efforts to address the microplastics problem are gaining momentum globally. The United Nations has launched initiatives to reduce plastic pollution, and many countries have banned microbeads in cosmetic products. Scientists are also developing innovative solutions, including enzymes that can break down certain types of plastic and filters that can capture microplastics from washing machines before they enter the water system. While a comprehensive solution remains elusive, the growing awareness of the problem represents an important first step.
48. According to the passage, what are microplastics?
(A) Plastic items larger than 5 centimeters (B) Plastic fragments smaller than 5 millimeters in diameter (C) Biodegradable materials used in construction (D) Synthetic fibers used only in clothing
49. What does the passage say about the estimated amount of plastic ingested by the average person per week?
(A) Less than 1 gram (B) About 5 grams, roughly the weight of a credit card (C) More than 100 grams (D) No plastic at all
50. What distinguishes nanoplastics from microplastics based on the passage?
(A) Nanoplastics can cross biological barriers and enter cells (B) Nanoplastics are visible to the naked eye (C) Nanoplastics are less dangerous than microplastics (D) Nanoplastics are only found in the ocean
51. Which of the following is mentioned as an effort to address the microplastics problem?
(A) Encouraging people to buy more plastic products (B) Banning microbeads in cosmetic products (C) Dumping all plastic waste into volcanoes (D) Replacing all synthetic clothing with wool
六、混合題（Mixed Type）— 共 10 分
說明： 以下為一篇文章與 3 道混合題型，請根據文章內容回答問題。題型包含填空、簡答與選擇題。
Sleep and Memory Consolidation
While you sleep, your brain is far from inactive. In fact, recent neuroscientific research has revealed that sleep plays a critical role in memory consolidation—the process by which newly acquired information is transformed from fragile, short-term memories into stable, long-term ones. Far from being a waste of time, sleep may be one of the most productive periods for learning in your entire day.
Scientists now understand that memory consolidation during sleep operates through a process known as “replay.” During certain stages of sleep, the brain essentially replays the experiences of the day at an accelerated speed, as neurons fire in patterns that mirror those originally activated during learning. This replay occurs primarily during slow-wave sleep, the deepest stage of non-REM sleep, which tends to dominate the early part of the night. Information replayed during this stage is gradually transferred from the hippocampus—the brain region that initially stores new memories—to the neocortex, where long-term memories are permanently housed.
A study published in Nature Neuroscience demonstrated just how powerful sleep can be for learning. Researchers taught participants a set of vocabulary words from a made-up language and then had some participants take a nap while others stayed awake. When tested several hours later, those who had slept performed significantly better than those who had stayed awake, retaining approximately 85% of the words compared to just 60% for the no-sleep group. Brain scans revealed that during sleep, the participants’ brains were reactivating the neural patterns associated with the vocabulary words they had learned.
The implications of this research for students are clear. Pulling all-nighters before exams, a common practice among high school and college students, may actually backfire by depriving the brain of the sleep it needs to consolidate what has been learned. Instead of cramming late into the night, students would be better served by studying thoroughly and then getting a full night’s sleep—allowing their brains to do the crucial work of cementing the new knowledge in place.

威威老師示範作文（Model Essay）
In my opinion, banning smartphones on campus entirely is neither practical nor desirable. While I agree that smartphones can be a source of distraction, I believe the solution lies in teaching students to use their phones responsibly rather than taking them away altogether.
First, smartphones are powerful learning tools that should not be dismissed. Students can use dictionary apps, access online resources, and record lectures with their phones. In many subjects, from biology to history, educational apps and videos make learning more interactive and engaging. Removing this resource from the classroom would be a missed opportunity.
Second, learning self-discipline is an essential life skill. Instead of relying on a ban to prevent distraction, schools should educate students about digital wellness and time management. Workshops on using phones mindfully would prepare students for the real world, where no one will ban their devices. I acknowledge that constant notifications can reduce attention span, but the solution is education, not prohibition.
In conclusion, schools should adopt a balanced approach: allow phone use for educational purposes while establishing clear rules about when phones must be put away. By teaching responsible digital habits, educators can help students build a healthy relationship with technology.

| 9 | (D) describe | 句意：求職者被要求「描述」過去的工作經驗。conceal 隱瞞、deny 否認、exaggerate 誇大，皆為負面含義。 |
| 10 | (C) isolated | 句意：小鎮因橋樑被洪水沖毀而與外界「隔絕」。liberated 解放、protected 保護、distinguished 區分，皆不合文意。 |
二、綜合測驗
| 題號 | 答案 | 解析 |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | (B) declined | 人們的專注能力明顯「下降」。increased 增加（語意相反）、stabilized 穩定（無變化）、fluctuated 波動（不穩定）。 |
| 12 | (A) dropped | 注意力從 12 秒「降到」8 秒。risen 上升、extended 延伸、remained 維持，皆與數字變化趨勢不符。 |
| 13 | (B) which | 非限定用法，逗號後接 which 修飾 goldfish。that 不能用於非限定（逗號後），what 為複合關係代名詞，who 用於人。 |
| 14 | (B) validity | 其他研究質疑這些說法的「有效性」。popularity 受歡迎程度、possibility 可能性、similarity 相似性，皆不合文意。 |
| 15 | (C) where | 關係副詞 where 引導子句修飾 environment（地方）。that → 應為 in which；what 不是關係副詞；when 搭配時間。 |
| 16 | (A) whether | The question is not whether...but whether... 固定句型。問題不在於「是否」有注意力，而在於「是否」能過濾。 |
| 17 | (C) genuine | 數位環境確實構成「真正的」注意力挑戰。artificial 人工的、minimal 極少的、optional 可選擇的，皆不合文意。 |
| 18 | (B) releases | 每次通知都「釋放」少量多巴胺。releases 釋放；receives 接收；removes 移除；reduces 減少。Dopamine 是腦分泌的，所以是 release。 |
| 19 | (C) adaptable | 大腦有極大的「適應力」。fragile 脆弱的、stubborn 頑固的、predictable 可預測的，皆不合文意。 |
| 20 | (B) strategies | 關鍵是發展更好的「策略」來明智地使用科技。distractions 干擾、emotions 情緒、predictions 預測，皆不合文意。 |
三、文意選填
選項框： A(including) B(designed) C(traditional) D(replaced) E(available) F(efficiently) G(advantage) H(access) I(architecture) J(nevertheless) K(limited) L(transformed)
| 題號 | 答案 | 解析 |
|---|---|---|
| 21 | (L) transformed | has transformed = 已「改變」了各行各業。現在完成式，及物動詞接賓語。 |
| 22 | (G) advantage | offer significant advantage over = 相較於…有顯著「優勢」。搭配詞。 |
| 23 | (F) efficiently | 3D 列印可以更快速更「有效率地」生產。副詞，與 quickly 並列。 |
| 24 | (C) traditional | 比「傳統」製造方式更快更有效率。形容詞修飾 manufacturing methods。 |
| 25 | (A) including | including walls, floors, and even furniture = 「包含」牆壁、地板、甚至家具。 |
| 26 | (E) available | make housing more available to people in need = 讓有需要的人更容易「獲得」住房。 |
| 27 | (K) limited | with limited resources = 在「有限的」資源下進行災難救援。 |
| 28 | (H) access | provide students with hands-on access = 讓學生「接觸」實作操作，搭配 hands-on。 |
| 29 | (B) designed | objects designed for specific subjects = 為特定科目「設計的」教具。 |
| 30 | (D) replaced | cannot be fully replaced by 3D-printed alternatives = 傳統教學工具不能完全被「取代」。 |
多餘選項： (I) architecture、(J) nevertheless
文意選填技巧：先判斷詞性 → 再看搭配詞 → 最後檢查語意一致。
四、篇章結構
| 題號 | 答案 | 解析 |
|---|---|---|
| 31 | (F) | 文章開頭說教育模式數百年不變，此處接 (F) 具體描述「傳統課堂」的流程：老師講課 → 學生回家練習。作為對比基準。 |
| 32 | (D) | 前句說傳統模式有限制，此處補充 (D)「結果是學生常常帶著困惑離開教室，回家作業沒人指導」，直接說明傳統模式的問題。 |
| 33 | (C) | 在此轉折點引入翻轉教室概念。前段都在批評傳統方式，(C) 用 However 帶出替代方案「翻轉教室」。 |
| 34 | (B) | 前句說明翻轉教室的流程（先在家看影片），(B) 承接說「這樣一來課堂時間就能騰出來做互動活動」，為因果關係。 |
| 35 | (A) | 本段繼續講優點，(A) 舉例：數學不好的學生可以看影片複習，隔天更有準備。For instance 作為舉例標記。 |
| 多餘 | (E) | 本題多餘選項。雖然 (E) 談翻轉教室成果，但在原文的特定位置中沒有合適的插入點（35 之後文章已結束，此處放 (E) 會打斷文章結構）。 |
答案：31.(F) 32.(D) 33.(C) 34.(B) 35.(A)
五、閱讀測驗
| 題號 | 答案 | 解析 |
|---|---|---|
| 36 | (B) | 全文核心：習慣如何運作 + 如何改變習慣。文章從定義習慣、神經機制，到改變習慣的策略，結構完整。 |
| 37 | (C) | 第二段開頭直接定義 habit loop = cue + routine + reward。 |
| 38 | (B) | 第三段黃金法則：保留暗示（cue）與獎勵（reward），只改變例行活動（routine）。 |
| 39 | (C) | 第四段：支持團體提供「改變的信念」與「社會強化」，因此有效。 |
| 40 | (C) | 第二段：納巴泰人因控制香料貿易路線而致富。 |
| 41 | (B) | 第三段：在極度乾燥的環境中建立精密的儲水系統，供應 2-3 萬居民，甚至還能種植花園。 |
| 42 | (C) | 第四段末句：The Treasury 的名字有誤導性，實際可能是皇家陵墓。 |
| 43 | (C) | 第五段：瑞士探險家 Burckhardt 於 1812 年「重新發現」了 Petra。 |
| 44 | (B) | 第二段第一句：從演化角度看，笑聲是 social bonding mechanism。 |
| 45 | (C) | 第二段 Provine 研究：人在社交場合發笑的機率比獨處時高出約 30 倍。 |
| 46 | (D) | 第四段列舉了黑猩猩、大猩猩、老鼠、海豚，唯獨沒有貓。 |
| 47 | (B) | 第三段：Maryland 大學研究發現心臟病患者在幽默情境中發笑的機率低 40%。 |
| 48 | (B) | 第一段定義：微塑膠是小於 5mm 的塑膠碎片。 |
| 49 | (B) | 第三段：每週攝入約 5 克塑膠，相當於一張信用卡的重量。 |
| 50 | (A) | 第四段：奈米塑膠小到可以跨越生物屏障，進入細胞。 |
| 51 | (B) | 第五段：多個國家已禁止在化妝品中使用微珠（microbeads）。 |
六、混合題
| 題號 | 答案 | 解析 |
|---|---|---|
| 52 | hippocampus, neocortex | 第二段明確指出 replay 將資訊從 hippocampus 轉移到 neocortex。答案格式應為兩個名詞以逗號分隔。 |
| 53 | （開放作答，參考答案） | Pulling an all-nighter may backfire because sleep is essential for memory consolidation. Without adequate sleep, the brain cannot effectively transfer new information from the hippocampus to the neocortex, where long-term memories are stored. |
| 54 | (C) | 第三段研究結果：有睡覺的參與者記住了約 85% 的單字。 |
七、中譯英

威威老師總複習提醒
Mock 2 結束後請務必：
- 從答錯的題目中歸納你的「錯誤類型」──是單字量不夠？文法概念混淆？還是閱讀速度太慢？
- 若詞彙題錯超過 3 題，代表你的單字量可以再加強，建議每天背 20-30 個新單字。
- 閱讀測驗錯超過 5 題，要練習「快速抓主旨」的能力──試著先把每段的 topic sentence 圈出來。
- 翻譯題有問題時，先檢查是不是「中翻英的句型結構」不熟練。
做模擬試題的真正價值不在分數，在於你從錯誤中學到的東西。把每一題的錯誤原因弄懂，你就在變強的路上了！ 📚
