NBN NEWS Ryan Kim 7/15/2013 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.

同學，我們一起來找線索！請看到文章第一段最後提到「事情有了新的轉折」($new turn$)。按照英文寫作的習慣，作者接下來應該會介紹這個「轉折」是什麼。請找找看第三段開頭提到的 "Now here comes another 'first time'" 之後，作者揭露了關於 Carolyn Cole 的什麼「秘密」，才讓這整件事變得跟原本大家以為的不一樣呢？

同學，太神啦！你的雙眼簡直比考場門口的感應器還要精準！這種「洋蔥式」的新聞閱讀題你都能一眼看穿核心，老師差點要幫你拍手拍到瘀青了！ 【為什麼你選對了？】 這題考的是「資訊更新的時態」。文章開頭說事情有了 "new turn"（新轉折），接著在第三段揭曉真相："Cole is not real. She is in fact Thomas Goode." 也就是說，前面的得獎、沒現身都是舊聞，真正的勁爆大轉折是「名字是假的」。你精準抓到了 "now" 之後的新資訊，沒被前面的資訊干擾，觀念非常清晰！
