The Beatles - The "Fab Four" From Liverpool (1)
The Beatles were one of the most famous rock and pop groups in history. The “Fab Four”, as the Beatles were called, came from Liverpool, England. Most of the songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. George Harrison played the lead guitar and Ringo Starr played drums. In the past 50 years the Beatles have sold over a billion records and CDs. They had more number one hits than any other British pop group.
Towards the end of the 1950s John Lennon formed a group called the “Quarrymen”. Up to 1960 they changed their names a few times but finally called themselves the Beatles. In the early phase the Beatles were influenced by American rock and roll musicians like Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley. In 1961 a Liverpool record store owner, Brian Epstein, became their manager. The first hit single Love Me Do became an immediate success. Teenagers all over England went crazy when they saw and heard the new stars, not only because of the music but because of their personality and new hairstyle.

Israel Settlements in the Occupied Territories(2)
Originally the Jewish settlements were constructed in order to stop Palestinians from obtaining their own state and to establish a buffer zone between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Settlers have largely come to the region for economic reasons. Israel’s government offers certain bonuses to people who are willing to settle there. Goods produced in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are subsidized by the government. Tax cuts and other economic incentives motivate Israelis to move to the occupied territories. On the other side there are religious fanatics who believe they are returning to their biblical homeland. They regard Arabs as aliens in their country.

【英語多益通】不認識這5個單字 小心被機器人取代
在科幻電影中,人類未來的生活裡環繞著會說話、會走路做事的機器人;但是依當前局勢來看,這個「未來」近在眼前。首先,谷歌公司(Google)2016年將要讓無人駕駛車(driverless car)全面上路;亞馬遜公司(Amazon)已經蓄勢待發地要用無人飛機(drone)遞送網購商品;未來學專家(futurologist)大膽預測:2025年之前,也就是10年之後,甚至連醫師、律師、會計師這種白領階級(white-collar)的工作,也將由人工智慧取代;首當其衝、將大幅改變產業型態的會是醫療、運輸、物流業。
要趕上未來科技潮流,你必須要能看懂國際媒體在這方面的報導,以下幾個是當今該話題的熱門字:

Israel Settlements in the Occupied Territories(1)
Since Israel occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights during the Six Day War of 1967 they have been building settlements for Jewish settlers in this region. There were also new towns in Gaza but Israel called all settlers back in 2005. Although the peace accord signed with the PLO in Oslo prohibited the building of new settlements the Israeli government is continuing to grant their construction.

Michael Jackson - The Ups and Downs(2)
In 1993 the King of Pop was accused of harassing children but a settlement with the 13-year old’s parents saved him from prison. The following year Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley but the couple separated a year and a half later. By the mid 1990s Jackson’s popularity had started to fall. History was a collection of greatest hits plus a few new recordings. The pop star appeared at the Brit Awards to perform his number one single Earth Song, together with a group of children. A second marriage with Nurse Deborah Rowe produced a son Michael and a daughter Paris. Jackson’s downturn continued into the new millennium. It took almost 6 years to finish the album Invincible but when it was released in 2001 it was only in the charts for six weeks. The singer’s personal life became the centre of discussion when he admitted that he took children to bed. In 2003 Jacko was arrested at his Neverland ranch after molesting a fourteen year old boy. The five month trial made him weak. He looked stressed and lost a lot of weight. After his acquittal by the court he fled to the Persian Gulf. In March 2009 Jackson surprised the pop world by announcing that he would go on stage one last time. A series of ten concerts, definitely his last ones, are planned for July 2009 in the O2 arena in London.

Women in the Workforce and Gender Equality (1)
Alt-Jhough the overall situation of women has improved in the past decades they still are discriminated against when it comes to work. They get paid less than men for the same work that they do and in some cases do not have the same opportunities as men to reach high-ranking positions. However this is starting to change.
Especially organizations, like the United Nations or UNESCO are giving women better opportunities. Many European Union countries have introduced quotas for women in high-ranking positions. But in other areas they are still second-class citizens.

2015台北國際書展大獎得主公布 展現臺灣豐沛原創
創作是出版產業的源頭,擁有豐富的原創作品才能推動出版產業不斷厚植產業根基,同時亦能展現我國豐厚的文化底蘊,奠定臺灣文化在亞洲的領頭羊地位。文化部鼓勵作家發表原創作品多管齊下,在各個領域卓然有成,並且營造百花齊放的書市風景。
文化部鼓勵原創出版的政策包括金鼎獎、金漫獎、定期漫畫刊物補助、數位出版補助、原創編輯力出版企劃補助、中小學生優良課外讀物推介,以及台北國際書展大獎等,其中,「書展大獎」創立於2008年,今年已邁向第8屆,其宗旨係為鼓勵華文原創出版作品,希望以實質的獎勵,發掘優秀的創作者,並藉以鼓勵出版業者秉持文化傳承的使命,出版更多優質的好書,文化部期許獎勵原創出版的政策,能將我國文化的根扎得更深、更廣。
文化部人文及出版司王淑芳司長表示,台北書展大獎8年來,已累積豐富的原創作品,不僅展現我國作家豐沛的原創力,更成為華文地區舉足輕重的原創出版大獎,是每年出版界及閱讀書市重要的參考指標,文化部期許「書展大獎」能激勵創作者在漫長孤獨的創作生涯中,發掘堅持不輟的原創動力以及源源不絕的想像力,為臺灣的出版市場注入更多的創意與活力,也希望出版業者藉由出版原創好書,尋找文化傳承再出發的動力。
今年「書展大獎」的得獎作者不僅包含大陸的作家,更首度加入了香港作家,可說是橫跨兩岸三地,呈現華文出版繽紛多元的風貌,文化部表示,為彰顯獲獎的榮耀,頒獎典禮將於2月11日書展開幕式舉行,由總統頒發獎金10萬元及獎座予劉克襄、駱以軍、林俊穎、陳浩基、顧玉玲及張贊波6位得獎者,入圍及得獎作品將於台北國際書展的「書展大賞」主題館展示,提供讀者作為購書閱讀的參考,另外,文化部將串聯國家圖書館、臺北市立圖書館、新北市立圖書館、國立臺灣圖書館等管道,分別以採購或陳列作品等方式推薦給讀者,希望能藉由媒體報導聚焦,以及行銷推廣,引發得獎作品銷售熱潮。
文化部表示,冀盼「書展大獎」能繼法蘭克福、萊比錫、波隆那書展後,成為亞洲地區另一個具有推廣閱讀影響力的國際書展大獎,同時亦能帶動讀者閱讀更多優質的華文原創作品,以及肯定出版業者出版中文原創作品的用心與努力。

2015台灣IPO市場: 家數與集資金額較2014樂觀
2014台灣整體IPO表現不如預期
回顧2014年,台灣股市因受到諸多因素影響,如F股遭禿鷹鎖定放空、基亞事件、證所稅「大戶條款」等,也連帶影響資本市場的表現,回顧2014年,IPO市場的表現不如預期,IPO家數創近五年新低僅49家,而IPO的集資金額因有漢翔航空集資新台幣93.4億元的加持,使整體集資金額達新台幣292億元。
區域整合將能為台灣IPO市場注入新能量
資誠(PwC)聯合會計師事務所周建宏審計服務營運長表示,觀察最近三年國內企業上市櫃的家數有逐漸減少的趨勢,這種現象與台灣這幾年經濟情況維持著小幅成長的情況互相吻合。在此情形下,台灣資本市場如何能持續注入新能量,「區域整合」是值得思考和關注的方向。經由滬港通、臺星通,讓外國投資人更容易買到台灣股票,將有助於促進台灣資本市場國際化,吸引外企來台IPO。但有投資人擔心會不會對台股造重衝擊,若以目前台股量能而言,衝擊有限。
資誠PwC觀察全球其他主要資本市場,如美國、香港無不盡全力吸引各地優質企業至該資本市場掛牌,而2014年全球的IPO中,最令人注目的不外乎是阿里巴巴至美上市,並榮登新籌資王寶座,其籌資金額折合新台幣約為7千五百億元。所幸台灣政府自2008年也開始開放境外企業來台掛牌,截至2014年底已有69家境外企業來台掛牌成功,所以,未來境外企業來台掛牌將在台灣IPO市場佔有一席之地,而台灣資誠在大中華區及東南亞已布有綿密的服務網絡,將能為台灣IPO市場的成長做出實質貢獻。
2015前景樂觀 大數據趨勢 值得注意
展望2015年,全球受原油價格下降的影響,各消費國均有機會受益,而使用原油最多的產業為交通產業,預計未來汽車、航運等類股會有明顯受益。另外,隨著大數據應用日漸成熟,能夠妥善掌握大數據所隱含之訊息,將會為企業帶來另一波營收與獲利的成長;而台灣政府也正研議放寬各股漲跌幅限制至10%,以及研議放寬境外企業之陸籍股東的持股上限等等,以上這些影響及政策,相信將會對台灣股市產生正面利多。
資誠周建宏營運長認為2015年台灣整體IPO表現,從市場面而言,由於2014年有某些案件因市場表現不佳而延後申請時程,加上2016選舉,部分企業會提前作業以避免選舉因素影響,因此預估2015年案件數較為密集,整體表現應該較2014年為佳,不論在家數或集資金額方面,將有機會回復前年的水準,基本盤應該會超過60家,其中境外企業的掛牌家數也有機會創歷年新高。但觀察近年外資比重趨向停滯,其主因就是台灣的IPO市場比較封閉,不夠和國際接軌,因此如何吸引國際級企業與投資機構來台,是提振國內股市的重要思考方向之一。
