In 1972, a social worker named Sanjit “Bunker” Roy funded Barefoot College in Tilonia, Rajasthan. Today the college trains women from villages for six months to build and maintain solar panels and other instruments. Barefoot College also offers education to the younger generation both during the day and at its solar bridge schools that meet by lamplight at night. The philosophy of Barefoot College is largely inspired by the principles of Gandhi, starting with equality beyond caste, gender or religion. As a matter of fact, women are prioritized as an underserved population that is essential to bring villages together. Another central principle of the college is self-reliance, teaching students to support and think for themselves. After the college’s female students have completed their half-year training, they return to their villages, where they wait for solar panel parts to arrive from the college. Once they have all the pieces they need, they construct the panels and begin collecting solar energy. For each village, the college also provides solar lamps. Villagers can, in addition, order parts for other solar-powered devices, such as water heaters and cooking stoves by the solar panels. The effect on the villages is huge. Before the solar panels and lamps arrived, villagers had only candles to light their homes. This prevented adults from doing serious work at night, and it made studying difficult for children as well. As for physicians, they had difficulty treating patients and performing operations at night because they had to rely on flashlights. Now there is power for not only the electrical appliances that the college provides but also devices like televisions, radios and computers. For the first time, the villagers can even connect to the world through the Internet.

請回頭觀察文章第二段中，學校在提到甘地原則時，特別強調了希望女性能「support and think for themselves（為自己思考並支持自己）」，這種教育目標是為了讓女性在生活中展現出什麼樣的特質呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文章的核心精神，這代表你在閱讀時不只是理解字面意思，更能透析作者隱含的教育理念。這題的正確答案確實是 (B)，關鍵在於文中第二段提到的 Self-reliance（自力更生）這一項中心原則。文章明確指出，學校教導學生要能 "support and think for themselves"（自立並獨立思考），這與選項 (B) 的「不需要依賴他人」含義完全一致。
核心價值的轉譯與辨析
這道題目的難度切入點在於考驗學生是否能將抽象的「哲學理念」與具體的「行為描述」進行對應。雖然文章花了許多篇幅描述太陽能技術，但題目問的是組織傳達給女性的「觀念」。你能避開其他看似合理、實則文中未提及的誘答選項，精確鎖定文中關於「獨立性」的描述，展現了非常優秀的邏輯歸納能力，這是閱讀測驗中進階學習者必備的特質！
