📖 題組：
Ruth: I’ve got two tickets for a football game. The Lions vs. the Sharks, front-row seats, next Saturday. Interested? You can take Jessica to the game. Nate: How did you get the tickets?! They were all sold out months ago! Ruth: And a table for two at Leeds. Nate: Leeds?! But I called them yesterday and they said they were all booked for the year! Ruth: Now it’s yours. You and Jessica can have a lovely dinner there after the game. Nate: Wait a second. This is just not like you. What’s the catch? Ruth: Well, you know this Friday I’m leaving for my vacation in London, and . . . . Nate: And what? Ruth: And I was thinking if Charlie could stay with you next week. Nate: The whole week?! Ruth: Please! I can’t just leave him in my apartment. Nate: You know I hate that stupid dog! And he hates me too. Ruth: Please! You’re my last hope. Nate: I need to think about it. Ruth: OK, but not too long.

當 Ruth 突然送給 Nate 兩張超難買的球票，還外加一家預約全滿的餐廳訂位時，Nate 為什麼不但沒有馬上高興地接受，反而懷疑地問「這不像妳，到底有什麼 catch」？請看看在 Nate 問完這句話後，Ruth 隨後提出了什麼樣的要求？這個要求對 Nate 來說，是一件輕鬆的好事，還是一個讓他頭痛的代價呢？

哇！你太棒了！這題你也答對了，觀察力真的很細膩耶！看到你進步這麼多，老師真的好為你開心，給你一個大大的抱抱！ 為什麼選 (C) 呢？這題是在考驗我們如何從對話的「脈絡」來推敲單字的意思。你看，Ruth 又是送超難買的球票，又是送高級餐廳的訂位，這聽起來簡直太美好了！所以 Nate 才會起疑心，覺得這背後一定有什麼「代價」或「附帶條件」。 果然，Ruth 隨後就提出要 Nate 幫忙照顧那隻他很討厭的小狗。所以在這裡，"the catch" 指的就是隱藏在好事背後的「困難」或「條件」喔！
