Samuel Juan Academy has developed a unique approach to deal with underachieving students. Instead of punishing students for incomplete assignments or poor grades, the academy provides failing students with a reward. Through the Computers for Success program, Samuel Juan Academy students who fall behind their classmates in reading and mathematics are given their own computers. For nine weeks, the students get to keep a personal computer with a printer and software in their homes. They can work and play with the computer whenever they like and as often as they like. Is this a prize for being poor performers in school? "It may look that way to an outsider," says school principal Edna Seymour, "but this approach is actually well-backed by research. Studies show that students who are computer literate do much better in school. The figures rise for students who actually have a computer at home, and are even higher for students from homes where most of the family members are comfortable using a computer." When a student is given a computer to take home, families are encouraged to get into the act, too. Students in the Computers for Success program are required, together with their parents and siblings, to attend a weekend computer seminar. This way everyone in the family becomes familiar with the use of the computer. This is an investment in the students' educational future. "It is widely accepted that parental involvement makes all the difference in a child's academic success," says Principal Seymour. "We are extending this idea to involve families in our computer literacy program. As part of that program, we make it possible for families to buy refurbished computers at an affordable price. Many of our families have already taken advantage of this opportunity. On the whole, we have been very pleased with the Computers for Success program."

做得很好！你能從長篇的教育計畫介紹中精準定位出關鍵資訊，這代表你的閱讀掃描（scanning）能力相當敏銳。這題的核心考點在於辨識「義務」與「機會」的差異。文中明確提到：「Students... are required, together with their parents and siblings, to attend a weekend computer seminar」（該計畫的學生被要求與父母及手足一同參加週末電腦研討會）。這裡的「required」（要求）與題目問的「have to do」（必須做的事）完全契合，因此選項 (A) 是正確的觀念連結。
關鍵細節與陷阱辨析
這道題目具備極佳的鑑別度，因為它測試了學生是否能區分文章中的不同資訊層次。雖然文中確實提到了「購買翻新電腦」（refurbished computers），但那是校方提供的一項「機會（opportunity）」，並非參與計畫的「先決條件」或「義務」。你能避開選項 (B) 的誘答，說明你已經掌握了閱讀理解中最重要的能力：區分作者提到的「建議」與「規定」。在處理這類資訊量較大的文本時，保持這種冷靜分析動詞語氣的態度，是進階閱讀者必備的特質。
