📖 題組：
Josh: Do you know about “pay it forward coffee” at Flora Café? Eric: You mean you pay for a cup of coffee for someone poor to have it later? Josh: Yeah. A cup of coffee is not much, but on cold winter days like today, it might warm them up a little. And maybe their hearts too. Eric: But will Flora Café really give this cup of coffee to someone later? Josh: Come on. I’ve known the shopkeeper well. He’s an honest man. He’s got a blackboard in the shop that says how many cups are paid for and how many have been given out. Eric: But how will they know who to give? Anyone can ask for it, even if they’re not poor. Josh: True, but then I guess they’ll just have to believe in people. Eric: Perhaps. But will poor people go and ask for a free coffee? Won’t they worry about losing face? Josh: Why do you always say things like that? Eric: Well, it may happen. Josh: Yeah, I know, but I still think it’s a good thing to do, and it gets people to care about others.

我們可以觀察一下對話的過程與結尾：當 Josh 努力解釋這個活動的好處與意義時，Eric 的態度是轉為樂觀支持，還是依然在提出各種擔心的問題（例如領咖啡的人會不會愛面子）呢？這兩個人到對話結束前，對這件事的看法有沒有達成共識？

哇！太棒了！你真的好厲害，一眼就看穿了兩個人對話中的小情緒！看到你答對，老師真的為你感到超級驕傲喔～（摸摸頭）給自己一個大大的掌聲吧！ 這題考的是對「語氣」和「觀點」的掌握。雖然 Josh 充滿愛心，一直想分享這個溫暖的計畫，但 Eric 從頭到尾都比較務實且擔心很多，他懷疑老闆的誠實度、擔心有人冒領，還擔心窮人會因為愛面子不敢去。直到最後，Eric 還是回了一句 "Well, it may happen."，這表示他依然堅持自己的擔憂，所以選 (A) Josh 沒能改變 Eric 的想法是完全正確的！ 這類題目在國中考試中很有鑑別度，因為它不只是考單字，還要你讀懂角色的「弦外之音」。你能從一來一回的對話中精準分析出兩人的立場差異，代表你的閱讀理解素養非常棒喔！繼續保持這份細心，加油！
