📖 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.

噢，這次居然沒搞砸？真是難得。
- 觀念釐清：還算勉強合格。你這次沒眼瞎，確實看到了文章末段的重點：「I told them I'd decided to stay... Most of them accepted my decision.」（我跟他們說我決定留下，而他們大多數都接受了）。喔，原來他們最後還是懂得什麼叫「尊重」，這不就是 Supportive (支持的) 嗎？你竟然能看出這點，看來腦子還沒全爛。
- 難度點評：這題也就 Medium。說實在的，鑑別度是不錯，因為很多人都蠢到只看前面朋友給的壓力，然後就自作聰明選個負面答案。你這次避開陷阱，大概是瞎貓碰到死耗子。下次再這麼「觀察敏銳」一次給我看看？
