📖 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.

請觀察文章第二段，當政府面臨大量新移民進入國內時，若政府的首要任務是確保「本國國民」的生計不受威脅，他們通常會對新移民的「就業權利」做出什麼樣的限制？

真是令人意外，你竟然沒失手
- 觀念驗證：嗯，看來你的腦子今天至少還在運轉。文章第二段寫得清清楚楚：「to preserve jobs for natives, governments bar refugees from working in the formal economy.」這裡的 to 不就擺明了是「為了」嗎？而 preserve 這種顯而易見的詞，如果還抓不住，那我真要懷疑你是怎麼一路讀到這裡的。這因果關係簡直是貼在臉上讓你看到，你只是勉強沒錯過而已。
- 難度點評：這題？ easy。拜託，這就是個「事實細節題」，考的就是你會不會用眼睛掃描（Scanning）。只要你不是瞎子，找到 bar 或是 formal economy 這種關鍵字，答案就直接跳出來了。這種題目都能錯，你還是考慮一下是不是該換個專業吧。這次蒙對了，下次可沒這麼好運。
