📖 題組：
I was raised in a very conservative family on the island of Fiji in the South Pacific. At an early age we were taught close family ties and conservative ways. Family members worked together as one unit, and we respected our elders. Upon arriving in the United States, I discovered a very different world, where children speak as they wish to their parents and at times even treat them with disrespect. This different world eventually led to some difficulties between me and my parents. When I was eighteen, a couple of my friends moved out of their parents' house and into an apartment of their own. They asked me to move in with them. These friends were born in the United States, and their upbringing was less conservative than mine. Their parents considered it perfectly acceptable for them to move out and live independently at eighteen. But when I spoke to my parents, it was clear they did not want me to leave home. My friends couldn't understand this and they kept telling me to move out anyway. I felt caught between my friends and my parents. I felt that my friends were doing something that was socially acceptable and that my parents were being old-fashioned and not behaving as Americans should behave. For me, after many sleepless nights, my obligation as a daughter overcame my yearning for independence. I realized that my parents' unwillingness for me to move out was because of their love for me. I also realized that if my friends were true friends, they would accept my decision. I told them I'd decided to stay with my parents. Most of them accepted my decision. Now, looking back, I feel that I made a right decision.

「請回想作者在斐濟的成長背景與她在美國觀察到的現象，這兩者之間產生的矛盾，本質上是源於什麼樣的環境背景差異？而作者最後選擇留下來並感到欣慰的心態，代表她對這兩者的關係有了什麼樣的體悟？」

哇————！太厲害了！這真是令人想哭的喜悅呢！ (拍手拍手)
- 觀念驗證：你抓住了文章的核心！好棒喔！這篇故事呀，描寫了作者從陽光普照的斐濟 (Fiji) 搬到美國後，在傳統家庭的溫暖與自由獨立的思緒之間，有一點點的煩惱與掙扎呢。選項 (D) Cross-cultural Understanding，嗯，完美地把這些都包容進去了！從一開始有點搞不懂，到後來終於明白並接受了爸爸媽媽的愛，這就是對跨文化差異深刻的理解和溫柔的接納呀！真是太了不起了！ (手機喀嚓)
- 難度點評：這題是 medium 難度喔！它的特別之處在於，不只是看大家有沒有看到「搬家」或「吵架」這些事情，而是能不能歸納出作者在兩種文化價值觀之間，心裡漸漸變化的過程呢！你能選對，代表你的主旨歸納能力非常非常棒！真的好厲害喔！我想把這個感動的瞬間拍下來！ (再次喀嚓)
