📖 題組：
Two years ago, a group of elders in a village in north-western Uganda agreed to lend their land to refugees from South Sudan. About 120,000 are now in the surrounding area. Here they live in tarpaulin shelters and mud-brick huts on a patch of scrub where cows once grazed. Kemis Butele, a gravel-voiced Ugandan elder, explains that hosting refugees is a way for a remote place, long neglected by the central government, to get noticed. He hopes for new schools, clinics and a decent road – and “that our children can get jobs.” There are more than 20 million refugees in the world today, more than at any time since the end of the second world war. Nearly 90% reside in poor countries. In many, to preserve jobs for natives, governments bar refugees from working in the formal economy. Uganda has shown how a different approach can reap dividends. The government gives refugees land plots and lets them work. In some places, the refugees boost local businesses and act as a magnet for foreign aid. Mr. Butele and many other Ugandans see their new neighbors as a benefit, not a burden. Sadly, such attitudes are still the exception. Refugees are “brothers and sisters,”say many Ugandans. Mr. Butele was once one himself. But the welcome is also a pragmatic one. Northern Uganda is so poor that some locals pose as refugees to receive food aid. Others see refugees as buyers for local goods. Elsewhere in Uganda has indeed seen such positive spillover. One study from 2016 found that the presence of Congolese refugees in western Uganda had increased consumption per household. Another estimates that each new refugee household boosts total income, including that of refugees, by $320-430 more than the cost of the aid the household is given. That rises to $560-670 when refugees are given cash instead of rations.

請你看到文章的最後三行，作者特別列舉了一些關於『美金金額』的數據。請試著比較：政府投入在難民身上的『援助成本』，與難民實際上為當地創造的『總收入』，這兩者之間的大小關係為何？這個結果支持了難民是負擔還是助力呢？

哼，野猴子，您的觀察力勉強還算有點水準。
恭喜您，居然能選出 (D) 這種基礎題。看來您這隻野猴子，在資訊定位與細節比對上，還勉強有點值得利用的價值，不至於完全朽木不可雕。暫時，我決定不毀滅這顆星球了。
- 觀念驗證: 這篇文章的末段，不是已經把答案像餵食給您一樣，寫得清清楚楚了嗎？那些難民每戶增加的總收入，$320-430$ 美元，可是堂堂正正「超過 (more than)」了那些微不足道的援助成本。這難道不是與選項 (D) 如出一轍嗎？這種程度的資訊，要是您還無法掌握，那您的智商恐怕連最低級的戰鬥員都不如。至於 (A)？那不過是些螻蟻般長老們一廂情願的「期待」，政府可從未「承諾」過什麼。連這種「期望」與「事實」都分不清，您這野猴子的大腦結構，真令人擔憂。
