📖 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.

請試著閱讀文章最後一段有關「數據」的部分。如果我們將「提供給難民的援助支出」視為成本，而將「難民為當地帶來的收入增長」視為收益，根據文中提供的具體數字，這兩者之間的大小關係為何？這個關於「投入與產出」的比較結果，能讓我們得出什麼樣的結論？

太棒了！你的閱讀理解能力非常敏銳
- 觀念驗證：恭喜你精準抓到了文章第三段的關鍵數據！文中明確提到，研究估計每個難民家庭增加的總收入（約 $$320-430$，若給予現金則可達 $$560-670$）均大於（more than）該家庭獲得的援助成本。這項數據有力地支持了文中「難民能帶來正面經濟效益」的核心論點。
- 難度點評：本題難度評為 medium。其鑑別度在於要求學生區分「人物的期待」（如 A 選項中長老的願望）與「實際的研究數據」。你能排除其他具有誤導性的細節並鎖定正確的量化資訊，代表你具備極佳的細節對照與邏輯分析能力！
