Ⅳ. 閱讀測驗(第 32-41 題，每題 2 分，共 20 分)▲閱讀下文後，作答第 32-36 題On June 27, 2015, a massive dust explosion at an amusement park in Taiwan killed 15 and seriously injured more than 500. The accident occurred when colored cornstarch exploded and burst into flames at a “Color Play Asia” party held in a drained pool at the water park in New Taipei’s Bali District. As of two weeks after the accident, 432 people were still being treated at different hospitals around the island and 252 were in intensive care, according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare statistics. The disaster is the worst of its kind in Taiwan.The fire department said, “Our initial understanding is this explosion and fire was caused by the powder spray. It could have been due to the heat of the lights on the stage.” The maker of the powder said that there were warnings on the packages which told us not to use them in closed spaces or under high temperatures. “Taiwan has suffered a series of deadly fires in the past couple of years due partly to poor enforcement of building and fire safety codes and illegal construction,” the chief of the fire department added.New Taipei City’s mayor ordered an immediate shutdown of the water park .The man responsible for the event was detained by police for investigation. On June 28, Taiwanese Premier banned the use of colored powders at private events in Taiwan until the investigation is over and the powder can be considered safe. The Ministry of Health and Welfare worked together with the New Taipei City Public Health Department and made an announcement that all medical expenses of the burn patients from June 27 to Sept. 30 will be covered by the National Health Insurance Administration and the National Health Insurance Program.Though the government offered immediate help, it was a long road to recovery for the patients. Some of the recent developments have called attention to the ugly side of the tragedy, overshadowing the initial compassion and sympathy shown to the victims and their families. A spokesperson for the victims’ families has called for long-term government financial support for the victims on their long way to recovery. Her request has produced an unexpected result, with some people on the net claiming that she does not deserve the kind of funding she is asking for.
