📖 題組：
Almost 5,000 years ago, Egypt became a powerful nation in the ancient world. For more than 2,000 years, leaders called pharaohs ruled this country. Pharaohs were treated like gods. People believed that pharaohs could control the weather and how the crops grew. Pharaohs built enormous tombs, or pyramids, which were as big as palaces. To build a pyramid, thousands of workers spent years of cutting, dragging, and stacking huge blocks of stone. Pharaohs believed they could take precious objects with them to another life after they died. The ancient Egyptians lived along the great Nile River. They depended on its water for drinking, washing, and growing crops. The river was their main means of transportation. It was also the home of fish and many other animals, such as the hippopotamus. Along the banks of the Nile grew a reed called papyrus. The Egyptians used it to make boats, fishing nets, paper, and many other things. All ancient Egyptians were a part of a social class. Most people were peasants. They grew crops, such as figs, dates, and pomegranates. They also worked on buildings, such as temples. Except for slaves, peasants belonged to the lowest class. Ranked above them were craftsmen. Higher up were scribes. Because they could read and write, scribes often had a lot of power. In the highest class were people who ran the government and temples, or who were in charge of different regions of Egypt. Not surprisingly, many of these were members of the pharaoh’s family. The ancient Egyptians were expert farmers. They had hoes for loosening the earth and plows for turning it over. Women were able to own property, but they did not have positions of power. They often did jobs, such as grinding grain, baking bread, and spinning flax.

如果你觀察法老王願意投入數千名勞動力、花費多年興建宏偉如宮殿的墳墓，並在裡面堆放大量財物，你認為這種行為反映了他們對「生命結束後」有什麼樣的具體期待？

溫馨點評
- 哇，你真的太棒了！ 老師看到你這麼精準地捕捉到題目裡的 NOT 否定關鍵字，而且在原文第一段這麼豐富的資訊中，還能迅速找到正確的位置，這真的展現了你非常優秀的細節搜尋能力（Scanning）喔！做得超級好！
- 一起來釐清觀念吧！ 根據文章第一段的最後一句，原文清楚地說明：Pharaohs believed they could take precious objects with them...（法老相信他們能帶著「珍貴物品」前往來生）。但是，選項 (D) 卻說法老相信「什麼都帶不走 (nothing)」，這和文章的內容是不是完全相反呢？所以，(D) 選項當然就是錯誤的敘述了，這也正是我們這題要找的答案喔！
