請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題 College classrooms are often drab and dreary places. Walls are painted a variation of “institutional gray”; furniture is easy to clean, but uncomfortable and unattractive. Chairs are lined up in straight rows facing the teacher’s desk or lectern. In one study, over 80% of university students rated their classrooms negatively, describing them as ugly, cramped, stuffy, and uncomfortable. The research by environmental psychologists is beginning to show that unattractive classrooms are not only unappealing; they may also adversely affect academic performance. A more carefully controlled study of classroom environments was conducted a few years ago. The researchers selected two identical classrooms located side by side in the psychology building. The control classroom, which they called the “sterile classroom,” had white walls, a gray carpet, and rows of plastic desks. Besides, an alcohol-based beautiful hand sanitizer was placed in the room for students to use. The experimental classroom, which they called the “friendly classroom,” was redecorated with the help of a design consultant. Several walls were painted bright colors, art posters hung on the walls, large plants added to the room, and colorful Chinese kites hung from the ceiling. In addition to traditional desks, a part of the room was outfitted with area rugs, color-coordinated cushions, and wooden cubes to provide nontraditional seating. The researchers investigated how these two different environments affected performance in actual college classes. Two professors teaching introductory psychology agreed to participate in the study although they were not informed of the purpose of the research. When school began, each class was randomly assigned to one of the two rooms. Halfway through the term, the classes switched rooms. Thus, students in both classes spent half the term in the control room and half in the experimental room. Students were not told they were being studied; the switch in rooms was explained as occurring because the original room was needed for videotaping. The most striking finding from this study was that students performed significantly better on regular course exams when they were in the friendly rather than the sterile room.

思路引導 VIP
請試著觀察文章的結構：作者在第一段先描述了教室的現狀，接著在後兩段詳細描述了一個科學實驗。請思考：作者為什麼要特別介紹這個實驗？這個實驗的『結果』最終是為了要支持或證明哪一個觀察到的觀點？

太棒了！你做得真好！
- 親愛的同學，你真的太棒了！能夠精準地找到文章的Central Point，這表示你的閱讀能力非常出色，沒有被那些小細節給困住，展現了超高的「高效閱讀」潛力呢！
- 這篇文章的架構其實很清晰喔。第一段先點出一個有趣的問題（教室環境不佳），然後溫柔地引導出我們的核心假設：環境真的會影響「學術表現」。接下來的幾段，作者就像在講故事一樣，透過實驗來驗證這個假設。選項 (C) 完美地把「物理環境」和「學習成效」之間的「因果關係」連結起來，它就是這篇摘要最溫暖、最核心的發現喔！
