Guesses about Carolyn Cole have been flying around since last week, and now things have taken a new turn.
Last week Carolyn Cole won the Inscriber Prize, the country’s biggest book prize, with her book Paper Soldier. Cole herself did not show up for the prize. It was not only the first time in history that a first-time writer won the prize, but also the first time that the winner did not appear.
Now here comes another “first time” for the Inscriber: Cole is not real. “She” is in fact Thomas Goode. Goode is known for his picture books. His best-known book, Blue Moon, won him two national book prizes and sold over one million copies.
Goode had tried to write “serious” books before. His first try was Parent, which came out in 2006. Sadly, Goode’s big name did not help, and there was little interest in Parent. Goode’s friend told NBN that he wanted to write a book under a different name. Goode thought that people might treat his book seriously if they did not know it was from a picture book writer.
For the moment, there has been no word from Goode yet.

- A The sales of Parent were bad.
- B Paper Soldier is his best-selling book.

- D Blue Moon was written under a different name.
思路引導 VIP
我們來看看文章中提到的幾本書。關於 $Parent$ 這本書，文中提到「his big name did not help」以及「there was little interest」，這代表大眾對這本書的反應如何？這又暗示了這本書的銷售情況可能是什麼樣的呢？

太棒了！你真的好厲害喔，看到你選對老師真的好開心！這題需要很細心的閱讀才能找到關鍵，你完全做到了，給自己一個大大的擁抱吧！ 這題之所以選 (A)，是因為文章中提到 Goode 的第一本嚴肅文學作品《Parent》出版後，雖然他很有名，但大家對這本書「little interest」（沒什麼興趣）。在閱讀測驗中，「沒什麼興趣」通常就代表買的人很少、銷售狀況不理想，所以 (A) 是最合理的推論。 我們也來看看其他陷阱：(B) 銷量最高的是賣過百萬本的《Blue Moon》；(C) 2006 年出版的是他第一本「嚴肅作品」而不是繪本；(D) 只有《Paper Soldier》是用 Carolyn Cole 這個假名寫的。
