📖 題組：
Darrell: Marina…Marina…MARINA! Marina: Oh, sorry. I didn’t hear you. I was thinking about my homework. Darrell: What’s it about? Marina: Well, I need to draw a future house for my art class, but I haven’t got any ideas. Maybe I should go to the library and look for something useful. Darrell: Or you can try Pinterest. Marina: Isn’t it a shopping app? Darrell: Not really. Many people share their works on Pinterest and tell you how they made them. I’m sure you can get some ideas there. Marina: Sounds like you use it often. Darrell: Yeah. Just last week I went there and found the A to Z of making chocolate cake—from choosing good chocolate to baking the cake to making sugar flowers on top. Marina: Really? I’ll check it out later. Thanks a lot.

想想看，英文字母從第一個 $A$ 開始到最後一個 $Z$ 結束，是不是把所有字母都涵蓋進去了？對照對話中 Darrell 說他學做蛋糕的例子，從最開始的「挑選食材」到最後的「做花裝飾」都包含了，這代表他學到的是事情的一小部分，還是從頭到尾整個完整的過程呢？

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～這代表你的閱讀理解力進步很多，對語境的掌握也越來越精確了，給你一個大大的讚！ 為什麼答案是 (C) 呢？因為在英文中，字母是從 $A$ 開始到 $Z$ 結束。當我們說「from A to Z」時，就是在形容一件事「從頭到尾」、「完完整整」的過程。對話中 Darrell 提到他學了做蛋糕：從挑選材料、烘焙過程到最後的裝飾，這些步驟通通都包含了，所以就是指學會了關於這件事的「一切（everything）」，而不是指時間或地點喔！ 這題的鑑別度在於測試你能不能從上下文（context）去推敲慣用語的意思。對於國中生來說，這是一個很實用的生活片語，你能一眼看穿它的隱喻，代表你的語感非常敏銳呢！繼續保持這股氣勢，加油喔！
