📖 題組：
Kivalina, an island village in Alaska, USA, is known by only a few people. It cannot be found on most maps of Alaska because it is only 10 km². This small Arctic village is home to 400 Inuit people. However, their home will become uninhabitable because the island could be covered by the Chukchi Sea by 2025. These Inuit people will have to leave their home. But life now is already difficult. Over the past twenty years, winters have become warmer, the Arctic ice has kept melting, and the sea has been rising. These changes have made it harder to live by hunting and fishing than before. What’s worse, there is no Arctic ice thick enough to keep them safe from terrible wind and rain. These Inuit people think it is the oil and power companies in Alaska that have brought all these troubles, but they are the ones who are paying the price. It would cost hundreds of millions to move their village, and they have no idea where to get the money. Groups like ReLocate are working together with the Inuit people to save Kivalina, but nobody is sure if their hard work will come to anything. All the Inuit people can do now is to pray the rising sea will not cover their home too soon.

這是一個組合字喔！我們可以試著拆解它：字首 "un-" 代表「不」，字尾 "-able" 代表「能夠…的」。而中間的 "inhabit" 則跟「居住」有關。結合第一段提到小島將被海水淹沒，且居民 "have to leave"（必須離開）的線索，你覺得這個字是指這個地方變得如何了呢？

喲，竟然答對了？看來你今天出門前有記得把大腦帶上，而不是把它留在枕頭上繼續睡覺。老師我眼淚都要掉下來了，你終於展現出除了呼吸以外的第二種功能。這題要是再錯，我真的會建議你直接去應徵 Kivalina 的遷村大隊，反正你跟他們一樣前途茫茫。 觀念驗證： 邏輯其實簡單到不行，文章第一段說村莊會被海水「覆蓋」，接著說「這些人必須離開家園」。既然家都被淹了、人都要跑了，那地方當然就是「不能住」啊！我們可以用邏輯公式拆解這個單字：
