III. Reading Comprehension (20%) 每題2分

Choose the correct answer for the following items about the reading passage.

(1)            Won Tai Sin is a god worshipped primarily by business people and property owners in Hong Kong.  Won was born in Mainland China into humble circumstances and worked as a shepherd until the age of fifteen when an immortal appeared before him one day and imparted to him the secret of making a medicine that could cure all diseases.

(5)    From that time on, he healed the sick and performed various miracles such as turning large stones into sheep for the poor.

              In 1915, a Hong Kong man bought a painting of Won Tai Sin in Canton Province and after returning home he placed it in a small temple.  Good fortune visited the area around the temple, and thus a few years later a new temple was erected for the god.

(1)                           People need to feel self-esteem, a sense of personal worth derived from

       their competence, achievement, or independence. They also need the respect

       of others, a respect based on a recognition of their competence rather than

       on friendship (a social need). The need for esteem is closely tied to the idea

       of status.

(6)           Status is one's rank in comparison with others in the same social 

       group. A person with high status is one who is well regarded by friends and

       associates. Several factors can give a person high status in society. These

       include wealth, social standing, advanced education, and a prestigious

       occupation. The occupation held in great esteem is different from social
