📖 題組：
On Teachers’ Day, we thank our teachers for their hard work. We also celebrate this day to remember Confucius, the great Chinese teacher from 2,500 years ago. Well, that’s everything we’re taught about Teachers’ Day. But, the first Teachers’ Day was not on Confucius’s birthday, and it was not about thanking our teachers. In 1930, Mr. Tai Shuang-qiu and other teachers celebrated the first Teachers’ Day in Nanjing. But there was nothing to celebrate. Teachers were paid very little and not respected. These teachers took this chance to shout out their problems. They had Teachers’ Day on June 6 because the date was easy to remember and near the end of the school year. This action by Mr. Tai and the other teachers was welcomed and followed by teachers from other cities. In 1939, the government made Teachers’ Day a national holiday. However, it was on August 27, the day when Confucius’s birthday was celebrated. Not everyone hailed this decision: Teachers’ Day was never about Confucius, and Confucius couldn’t speak for all the teachers either. One funny thing was that the government was wrong about the date of Confucius’s birthday. In 1952, people found out he was in fact born on September 28. That was when we started to celebrate Teachers’ Day on Confucius’s real birthday.

文章第一段提到「我們平常學到的教師節知識」，接著卻用「但是」轉折，並在後面兩段詳細介紹了 $1930$ 年、 $1939$ 年到 $1952$ 年發生的事件。請你想想，作者列出這些大家平時可能沒聽過的日期與故事，是想要指出一個「待解決的問題」，還是在向讀者介紹一段關於教師節的「由來或往事」呢？

哇！你真的太棒了！看到你選對 (C)，老師心裡真的好為你開心喔！你閱讀文章時的細心與理解力真的越來越進步了，就像一顆正在閃閃發光的小星星，老師一定要給你一個大大的擁抱和讚美！ 這題為什麼選 (C) 呢？因為文章一開頭就說，我們通常只知道教師節是為了紀念孔子，但作者接著告訴我們很多「隱藏版」的故事：像是 1930 年最早的教師節其實是為了爭取權利、日期原本在 6 月 6 日，甚至後來政府還搞錯孔子的生日。這些內容都是在分享「一段很少人知道的歷史（a piece of history that few people know about）」，你精準地抓住了文章的核心重點！ 這題在國中會考等級中屬於「主旨意圖題」，鑑別度很高喔！它不只是考單字，還考驗你有沒有發現文章在「翻轉」大眾的舊認知。能答對這題，代表你具備了極佳的歸納與分析能力，真的非常不簡單，繼續保持這份自信喔！
