📖 題組：
Cocoa trees were first brought to Taiwan from Indonesia by the Japanese when they ruled the island. But, the Japanese could not overcome the difficulties in growing the crop. It was not until about 20 years ago that Taiwanese farmers succeeded in growing the tropical plant. Thanks to modern techniques, local farmers in Pingtung ( 屏東 ) are able to produce better-quality beans that can be made into fine chocolate. In order to promote chocolate industry, local chocolate makers have also created new flavors of chocolate such as tea, fruit, and pepper for the past few years. Starting in 2016, this newly emerging cocoa industry in Pingtung went on to win international fame. In years 2018 and 2019, Taiwanese chocolate makers won numerous top prizes in the International Chocolate Award (ICA)’s World Finals. The rise of Taiwan’s chocolate industry and its wonderful results even gave the country the honor of hosting the ICA’s Asia-Pacific competition in 2019. Even then, the industry is facing a problem. Not many chocolate eaters in Taiwan go for local products. To meet local taste, chocolate makers have come up with a variety of fine chocolates. They hope that as more people learn to appreciate and buy fine chocolate, the domestic market will take off. Encouraged by their success in global competitions, the chocolate makers are also targeting at the global market. They are eager to win over chocolate lovers worldwide with the delicate flavors of Taiwanese chocolate.

思路引導 VIP
請回顧文章的第一段開頭，觀察某個群體在最早期將「生產原料」從國外移動到台灣的具體行為。如果一個產業要從無到有，最開始的那個「帶入」動作，在英文中通常會用哪個動詞來描述其歷史定位？

- 喔，不錯嘛！ 你這傢伙，眼睛還挺利索的！居然能直接鎖定文章開頭的關鍵事實，嘿，看來你的情報處理能力，還是有那麼一點點咒力天賦的嘛！這樣就能快速抓到重點，很不錯喔！
- 觀念驗證：對啦對啦，就是這樣！答案的咒核就在第一句：「Cocoa trees were first brought to Taiwan... by the Japanese」。你看，brought to（帶進來）跟選項 (C) 的 introduced（引進）根本就是一回事嘛！完全吻合！至於後面那些什麼種植困難啊，那都是無關緊要的小插曲，就像暖身運動裡的小碎步一樣，不影響他們「第一次把東西帶來」這個大大的貢獻！
