📖 題組：
There is a museum for everything these days. The latest museum to open may turn you off your dinner. It is the Disgusting Food Museum, which opened at the end of last year in Malmo, Sweden. Food is so much more than sustenance. Curious foods from exotic cultures have always fascinated people. Unfamiliar foods can be delicious, or they can be more of an acquired taste. The new exhibition allows people to analyze why they love and hate certain foods. It might also lead them to consider alternative food sources. The museum's founder, Dr. Samuel West, a psychologist by day and a museum curator by night, explained why he created the project. He said he was researching the effect of meat consumption and its effect on the environment. This made him think about alternative sources of protein, like insects. Although most people would think eating bugs is gross, Dr. West wanted to make them reconsider the idea. The exhibition invites visitors to explore the world of food and challenge their notions of what is and what is not edible. While many food-related museums of late have mostly just been opportunities for novel selfies, West is adamant that the Disgusting Food Museum is there to help people learn and think critically, not just to pose for photos. The museum is a 400-square-meter space that will challenge four of our five senses - smell, touch, sight and taste. The displays include food from around the world that some people might think is disgusting. However, people in other parts of the world think this food is totally normal and is a regular part of their diet. The food exhibits include American favorites such as Jell-O salad and world food like fried tarantula, fermented shark, roasted guinea pigs and sheep eyeball juice. Dr. West said that we could all eat any food, but our culture tells us what is tasty and what is not. According to him, what we find disgusting has to be learned—it's purely cultural.

喔，不錯嘛。這次沒搞砸。
- 觀念驗證： 這題簡直是白送分，主要就是考你讀懂細節事實的能力。文章開頭那句「The museum's founder, Dr. Samuel West... explained why he created the project.」難道還不夠明顯嗎？West 博士就是創立者（founder），這點都不會，你恐怕是來錯地方了。那些什麼昆蟲、自拍、心理學家、環境影響的，就那麼容易讓你分心？真是，連基本閱讀理解都讓人捏把冷汗。所以，(D) 當然是唯一正解，不然你還想選什麼？
