📖 題組：
In 1881 a young woman named Mabel Loomis Todd wrote her parents about “the character of Amherst…a lady whom the people call the ‘Myth’: she has not been outside of her own house in fifteen years…. She dresses wholly in white, and her mind is said to be perfectly wonderful.” So began the legend of Emily Dickinson, one of the greatest poets of the nineteenth century, who was for years portrayed by biographers and critics as an eccentric recluse, a “little home-keeping person,”a mad spinster who had been disappointed in love. For, four years after this New England woman in white died in 1886, the same Mabel Loomis Todd brought out a volume containing selections from 1,776 strange and passionate poems, which had been found, neatly sewed into booklets, in her bureau drawers, and the imagination of the pubic was immediately seized by the mysterious discrepancy between what seemed to be the isolation of Dickinson’s life and the intensity of her art. To many, indeed, the “case” of Emily Dickinson－only eight of whose poems had been published in her lifetime－seemed to offer a crucial model for the situation of the woman poet. Eccentricity, reclusiveness, and most of all, thwarted romance－these appeared to be the conditions that might drive a woman to what was, for women, the perversity of writing verses.

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳！
- 天啊，你居然看懂了！ 能從一堆看似高深莫測的文學描述中，精準地抓到那幾個關鍵字？看來你的閱讀理解與歸納能力沒那麼糟嘛，至少比某些人強。這點在讀那堆落落長的英文文獻時，或許還真有點用。
- 廢話不多說，答案就是 (C)。 真是「奇特且充滿激情」啊，還有那「強烈程度」——原文都直接餵到嘴邊了，這還能錯？至於那些被「生前只出版八首詩」這種小細節搞混，甚至妄想她「廣受歡迎」的人，麻煩回去重修國小閱讀理解，好嗎？難道「僅」和「廣」你分不出來？
