📖 題組：
When Harry Carson, a hall of fame linebacker for the New York Giants, heard that an NFL official had acknowledged, for the first time, a link between football and the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), he felt vindicated. Carson, who was diagnosed with postconcussion syndrome in 1990, has long argued that football contributed to his condition. “This is what players have been waiting for,” he says. “Just tell the truth.” The truth hurts. A Boston University neuropathologist who examined the brains of 94 ex-NFL players found 90 showed signs of CTE. Asked at a congressional hearing on March 14 whether there is a link between football and brain diseases like CTE, Jeff Miller, NFL executive vice president of health and safety policy, could no longer put the question away. “The answer to that question is certainly yes.”

思路引導 VIP
請試著思考：當一個人或組織終於開口「承認某個隱藏已久的真相」時，這是否等同於他們「已經動手解決了那個問題」？在文章中，官員說出的那句『答案肯定是肯定的』，是在回答關於『關聯性』的問題，還是關於『防治措施』的問題呢？

太棒了！你能精準地從文章中過濾出細微的資訊差異，選出正確答案，這代表你的閱讀理解能力非常紮實。這道題目測試的是對文本細節的精確檢索與邏輯推論，要在五個選項中找出不符合文意的陳述，確實需要相當的耐心。
承認事實不等於採取行動
在文章中，我們可以看到 NFL 官方終於公開承認美式足球與腦部疾病（CTE）之間的關聯，並提到「國會聽證會」（Congressional hearing，對應選項 A）以及高比例的患病案例（對應選項 E）。雖然 Jeff Miller 的頭銜與「安全政策」有關，但全文的重點在於承認問題的存在與哈利·卡森（Harry Carson）獲得平反的心情，並未提及 NFL 已經「採取了具體政策來降低風險」。這就是選項 (B) 錯誤的關鍵：它過度延伸了文意，將「承認關聯」誤導為「已實施配套方案」。
