📖 題組：
The Australian crocodile is the largest crocodile in the world. It can grow up to seven meters long, and the biggest can weigh up to 1,000 kilometers. It has only two muscles to open its mouth but 40 to close it! What makes crocodiles so dangerous is that they attack extremely quickly, and they take their victims under the water to drown them. They usually attack in the water, but they can suddenly come out of a river and attack animals or people. And they can run on land as fast as 17 kilometers per hour. Every year in Australia there are crocodile attacks on humans. Two years ago a 24-year-old German tourist died when she went for a swim in a lake. Although there were signs warning people that there might be crocodiles, the woman and her friends decided to go for a midnight swim. The woman suddenly disappeared, and the next morning her body was found. Near it was a four-meter long crocodile. And only last month two Australian boys watched in horror as their friend was killed by a crocodile when they were washing their bikes in a river. They climbed a tree and stayed there for 22 hours while the crocodile waited below. But you can survive a crocodile attack. Last year Norman Pascoe, a 19-year-old, was saved from a crocodile when his aunt hit it on the nose. Norman’s aunt said: “I hit it and I shouted, ‘Help!’ The crocodile suddenly opened its mouth and my nephew escaped.”

恭喜你，沒出錯
- 做得還行吧。 總算沒把文章看成天書，勉強能從那堆文字裡把正確的資訊撈出來。這種基本的閱讀掃描和細節定位能力，本來就是閱讀長文的入門磚。能做到，不算太驚訝，但也別因此就飄飄然了。
- 這不是什麼高深莫測的學問，就只是細節檢索 (Scanning for Details)。 原文第二段白紙黑字寫得清清楚楚：「...a 24-year-old German tourist died when she went for a swim in a lake.」然後又畫蛇添足地補充了個「midnight swim」。選項 (B) 如果你還能看錯，那才是奇聞。
