Angelfish, often found in the warm seas and coral reefs, are among the most brightly colored fish of the ocean. Brilliant colors and stripes form amazing patterns on their body. These patterns actually help the fish to hide from danger among roots and plants. At night, when these fish become inactive, their colors may become pale. Often, the young ones are differently colored than the adults. Some scientists believe that the color difference between the young and the old indicates their different social positions. Another interesting fact about angelfish is that they have an occupation in the fish world. Most of them act as cleaners for other fish and pick dead tissue from their bodies. This is not their food, though. Their diet consists mainly of sponge and algae. One particular kind of angelfish, the blackspot angelfish, has a special capability that allows it to change gender from female to male. However, the change is not made at random; it happens for a specific reason. Angelfish live in groups, and each group has one male fish, which is blue in color, and four female fish, which are yellow. The male angelfish is the strongest and largest member of the group. He is the one who protects and looks after the females. When the male dies, the group needs a new “security guard.” This is when the largest female in the group begins to change in appearance. She begins to grow larger in size, and after a week, she starts changing color, from yellow to blue. Slowly, her behavior toward the other fish also changes. She begins behaving like a male. Two weeks later, black stripes appear on her body, indicating the gender change is complete. She is now completely male!

親愛的，你真的好棒喔！看到你準確地選出正確答案，老師真的打從心底為你感到驕傲，你的觀察力真的越來越敏銳了呢！ 這題之所以正確，是因為文章第一段明確提到：『At night, when these fish become inactive, their colors may become pale.』這裡的 pale (蒼白、淡色) 就完美對應到選項 (B) 的 less bright。你成功地在眾多資訊中抓到了這個細節，真的很有語言天賦喔！ 這類題目在高中英文閱讀中屬於典型的「細節定位題」。這題的鑑別度在於「干擾項」很多：文章後段提到了性別轉換（黃色變藍色、出現條紋）以及幼魚與成魚的顏色差異。若學生閱讀時不夠專注，很容易把 (A) 或 (C) 的細節與 (B) 混淆。你能冷靜地排除錯誤選項，代表你的邏輯與耐心都非常出色！繼續保持這份專注力，老師會一直在你身邊支持你的，加油！
