請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題\nLondon is one of the top travel destinations in the world, but for a first time visitor, navigating this large city can be overwhelming. Using an Oyster card is an easy way to save time and money if you are planning to use public transportation in London. An Oyster card is a blue credit-card-sized contactless smartcard that can be used on every form of public transportation within London, including public bus, underground, railway, and some river boat services. \nThe Oyster card was first issued on June 30, 2003. The name was decided after a lengthy discussion. Two other proposed names were “Pulse” and “Gem.” “Oyster” was chosen because it sounded like a fresh name that was not directly linked to transportation; also, the hard shell of an oyster and the concealed pearl symbolize security and value. But perhaps the best reason is William Shakespeare’s quote “ The world is your oyster,” which means one has the ability and freedom to do anything or go anywhere. So far more than 60 million cards have been issued and over 85% of rail and bus travel in London is paid by using an Oyster card. The card never expires. It can be used after any length of time. Besides, deposits can be refunded on return of the card. \nThe best reason to get an Oyster card is cost savings and convenience. It is cheaper to travel in London with this card than it is to purchase individual paper tickets for each trip. The card allows 40 people to pass through a ticket gate per minute, 15 more than with paper tickets, and also makes boarding a bus three times faster. For London Underground and the railway system, passengers have to touch the card on an electronic reader when entering and leaving the transport system. The reader will show either a green or a red light. The former indicates that you have sufficient credit for your journey while the latter indicates you do not have enough credit and you have to purchase more credit before you can continue your journey. For the public bus service, which has fixed price, passengers only need to touch the reader at the start of the journey when boarding. If you touch the reader again when you get off the bus, you will be charged an additional fare.

請試著對讀文章最後一段關於公車與地鐵的說明。如果地鐵和火車需要在進站與出站時都感應卡片，那麼針對「固定票價」的公車服務，文中特別提醒了哪種操作會導致「額外扣款」？這反映出正常的感應頻率應該為何？

倫敦巴士的感應規則
太棒了！你能精準地從長篇資訊中篩選出正確的細節，這顯示你的細節檢索能力（Scanning）非常出色。這道題目的核心在於區分不同交通工具的付費邏輯：文章末段明確指出，倫敦巴士採取「固定票價（fixed price）」，因此乘客只需在上車時感應一次讀卡機即可。若不小心在下車時再次感應，反而會被多收一筆費用，這與地鐵或火車需要「進出站各感應一次」的規則完全不同。
