聽力重點

．記筆記有很多方式，包含符號跟自己習慣的縮寫字等等，可以找出最適合自己的模式，一定要自己重聽音檔作練習數次。
．這篇是關於海洋生物學，前面段落其實都是鋪陳和引導入題的敘述，蠻容易理解，但要注意生物特性和細節部分的題目，另外就是章魚的特性和天敵，還有其他物種的分類和最後總結的部分。

摘要能力

Instruction
除了閱讀測驗外，其實培養能在聽完一大段訊息後，以口述講述剛才聽到的聽力訊息是學習語言和表達很重要的一件事，讓自己養成具備這樣的能力，除了能在聽力測驗中獲取高分外，也能在新托福寫作跟口說的整合題型上大有斬獲喔！所以快來練習，除了書中提供的參考答案外，自己可以試著重新聽過音檔一遍後，摘要出英文訊息並朗讀出來。

參考答案

Three traits of the octopus package them with the ability to inhabit different marine habitats, taking down preys such as crustaceans and mollusks. Despite these, they have their natural enemies, too. They are vulnerable to the attack of cetaceans, sharks, pinnipeds, sea otters, or sea birds. However, another phenomenal attack of the giant octopus takes down a shark, which leads us to think that size matters when it comes to the attack. We cannot really say about the outcome since things can change in the blink of the eye. Shrimps, crabs, and lobsters belong to the category of the crustaceans. Cetaceans, on the other hand, refer to whales, dolphins, and porpoises. The defense mechanisms have allowed animals to have a high successful survival rate. Octopuses, with the ability to spill ink, is one of the examples, although this will not always work. Aside from the ink cloud, the venom and coloration are also the defense mechanism. Blue-ringed octopuses are the representative, and their toxicity can kill you in a minute.
