Todd Bol, a retired businessman, could never have expected that a wooden container he built on his deck one day in 2009 would have the global impact it does today. Bol built a dollhouse-size structure that looked like a schoolhouse on a post, and he put it on his lawn as a free community library to commemorate his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. Bol’s prototype gave birth to Little Free Library (LFL), a nonprofit organization that seeks to place small, accessible book exchange boxes in neighborhoods around the world. The concept is simple: Neighbors are invited to share a book, leave a book, or both. Today, there are over 50,000 of these libraries registered in 70 countries. Almost everyone can register with LFL and start a library as long as the person keeps it in good shape and makes sure that book materials are appropriate for his/her neighborhood. Library owners can create their own library boxes; therefore, the libraries are usually unique in appearance, and there seems to be no limit to the possibilities. One library in California was built out of a used wine crate; another in Texas had tiny stairs and bright colored walls. Once registered, libraries are assigned a number at LFL’s website. The LFL Index lists the locations of all libraries with GPS coordinates and other information. Owners receive a sign that reads “Little Free Library.” People say they have been more inclined to pick up a book when walking by a Little Free Library, out of curiosity and because it’s convenient. Some sidewalk librarians say they have met more neighbors since having a little library in their front yard. Bol is also most proud of the way Little Free Library is bringing communities together. “It’s started a neighborhood exchange. It gets people talking and more comfortable with their neighbors,” he says. “This leads to them helping each other.”

同學，恭喜你！這波操作很可以喔！沒被陷阱帶走，看來你的眼睛不是裝飾品，是真的有在精準掃描關鍵字，這波通靈（閱讀）我給滿分！ 這題考的是學測最核心的細節辨析（Detail Comprehension）。為什麼選 (D)？因為原文說的是「蓋了一個像學校的娃娃屋尺寸結構」（dollhouse-size structure that looked like a schoolhouse），其功能是「免費社區圖書館」。選項 (D) 卻說他蓋了一間「學校」，這就是典型的「移花接木」陷阱。至於 (B) 選項的 trade and commerce 則是 businessman 的同義轉寫。 這題的鑑別度在於考生對「精確性」的掌握。高中英文閱讀測驗最愛玩這種「部分事實」或「偷換概念」的把戲。如果你讀得太快，看到 $schoolhouse$ 或 $mother$ 就興奮地跳過去，保證會當場「落馬」。你能抓出這個細微的名詞差異，說明你已經具備了精讀（Intensive Reading）的高階實力，考場上的大魔王也難不倒你！
