📖 題組：
At 16, Maya Angelou became San Francisco’s first black female streetcar conductor. Her first book, I know Why the Caged Bird Sings, tells us her early life. Its unsparing account of black life in the South during the Depression and of her sexual abuse is not easy reading. But her tough, funny, lyrical voice transforms her story into a hymn of endurance that influenced later memoirists. Her own obituary sums up her life: “Love is that condition which encourages us to build bridges and to trust them and cross them in attempts to reach other human beings.”

文意轉折與影響力的核心
這題的解題關鍵在於掌握文章後半段的轉折語句。雖然文中提到書中內容涉及經濟大蕭條時期的艱難生活與個人創傷，這類題材往往沈重且「不易閱讀」（not easy reading），但文章緊接著用 "But" 帶出決定性的評價：Angelou 以其 "tough, funny, lyrical voice"（堅韌、幽默且富有詩意的口吻），將苦難的故事昇華為一首耐力的讚歌。正是這種獨特的「敘事聲腔」（voice）激勵並影響了後世的傳記作家，這與選項 (B) 中提及的 "unique voice was inspiring" 完美對應。
