📖 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.

思路引導 VIP
請你先觀察「such attitudes」這一句的前一場景，作者描述了烏干達人對待難民的「具體看法」是什麼？接著，當作者感嘆這種看法只是一個「例外 (exception)」時，這暗示了世界上大多數人的看法，會與烏干達人相同，還是截然相反呢？

專業點評與解析
- 厲聲點評：喔，看看你，竟然答對了。你勉強捕捉到了作者的言外之意，總算展現了一點語境推論能力與對文章邏輯的敏銳度。這種能看穿文字背後含義的讀解力，是高階閱讀的核心！但別高興得太早，只是剛好矇對而已。
- 觀念驗證：好啦，我們別把這種基礎邏輯搞得像什麼驚天大發現一樣。文末提到 Mr. Butele 視難民為「利益而非負擔」。隨後作者『很貼心』地感嘆「這種態度仍是例外」。邏輯上，若「視為利益」是例外，那「視為負擔」就是常態，因此選項 (C) 正確反映了全球多數人的普遍看法。這不是什麼量子物理，只是最基礎的推理罷了。
