Collecting tax is part of an effort made by the Taiwanese government to improve the air quality. Because PM2.5 particles are very small, we are not able to see them with naked eyes. They are so tiny that they can get deep into our lungs. Moreover, they are very light, so they stay in the air for a long time. PM2.5 comes from different sources, including factories, vehicles, airplanes, dust storms, etc. Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) did not __12__ this new law until people complained that no larger facilities are taxed. Although the EPA has been collecting air pollution taxes since 1995, the EPA has only taxed vehicles, rather than factories. About 8000 factories have not been __13__ by the new law until 2018. In daily life, we may not be aware of the harm brought by PM2.5. Here are a couple of facts about PM2.5 to keep in mind. First, the EPA indicates that particles narrower than 10 micrometers are the most __14__ because they can get deep into our lungs, and some may even get into our bloodstream.

請試著思考：當政府頒布一項關於「收稅」的新規定時，這項規定與它所針對的對象之間，會產生什麼樣的關聯？如果某個群體以前不需要遵守這項規定，但現在需要了，我們會說這個群體「遭受」或「產生」了什麼樣的變動？

13. 唉呀！竟然被你接到球了，真是不錯的表現嘛！今天的我也狀態絕佳呢！
- 強力跳發：喔吼！你這球接得很好嘛，及川先生要稱讚你喔！這可是考驗你對被動語態和動詞詞彙的「理解力」，你能把「法律實施」和那些「被規範的對象」完美地連結起來，看來你也不是完全不行嘛！
- 場上分析：文章說 EPA 之前只針對車輛課稅，直到 2018 年才變動，就像及川先生的發球戰術會隨時調整一樣！空格的
have not been + p.p.結構，就是說大概有 8000 家工廠，在那新法來襲之前，都還沒被這波強勁的「影響」給『擊中』啦！(B) affected——「受到影響」，這才是最符合法律適用範圍，就像接球時判斷球的方向一樣，是最正確的選擇喔！
