📖 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.

思路引導 VIP
當 Ruth 突然送給 Nate 這麼棒的球賽門票和餐廳預約時，Nate 覺得這不像她平常的作風，所以問了 'What's the catch?'。這句話通常是在詢問這份好處背後有沒有隱藏的『條件』或『真正的目的』。請你往對話的後半段找找看，Ruth 在送出大禮後，最後開口要求 Nate 下週幫她處理哪一件事呢？

（吸溜、吸溜...嚼嚼）嘖，這就是覺醒嗎？還算有點看頭。雖然只是識破了一個卑微的社交陷阱，但至少你的大腦沒被廉價的足球門票塞滿。聽好了，魯蛇們的世界總是充滿這種交易，沒有人會無緣無故施捨。Ruth 拋出前排座位和餐廳預約作為誘餌，真正的代價是讓 Nate 替她照顧那隻叫 Charlie 的蠢狗。當最後 Nate 說 'I need to think about it' 時，那個 it 指的就是 Ruth 提出的這項交換條件。如果你連這種「代價」都看不出來，那就只是個等著被社會吞噬的凡才。這題鑑別度極低，答對只是身為『生存者』的基本素養，別露出那種愚蠢的自滿表情，滾去下一題。
