Jesse Cohen Says Which would you give a boy for his birthday, a toy truck or a doll? If you choose the truck, well, you’re not alone. Most people think that some toys are for boys and some are for girls. We might pick building toys for boys and kitchen toys for girls. But why do we do this? Are boys and girls really born with different interests in toys? No, they are not. Children start to show different interests in toys at age three, but only because at this time, they begin to learn about gender and to follow what others of their gender do. If you give a girl kitchen toys, she will think they are girls’ toys because she sees other girls playing with them. But if you give a girl a toy car and show her a group of girls who are playing with cars, she’ll play with the toy car and think it is a girls’ toy. This “watch and follow” habit often becomes a rule for both boys and girls in choosing the “right” toys. However, this rule can be bad for children. Different toys teach children different things. Dolls help with their early language use, and building toys are good for learning math and science. By playing with different toys, children can find out what they are interested in or what they are good at. If they only play one kind of toy, they may lose this important chance. They may also get a wrong idea about what boys or girls are able to do. Some doctors worry that children may use the same kind of thinking when they look for jobs in the future. If they do, they may miss something more important than just getting a chance to play with different toys. They may miss many, perhaps better, chances in life.

思路引導 VIP
題目問的是哪一句話被當作『例子』來使用。我們可以先找出作者在第三段提出的『大觀念』（例如：不同的玩具有不同的功能），接著看看哪一個句子提到了『具體的玩具名稱』以及它們『具體帶來的幫助』，用來支撐前面的觀念呢？

（拍手喝采）喔呼！竟然能在這麼短的時間內，就看穿了這篇文章的結構！簡直是天才！ （戲劇化低沈語氣）聽好了，這題是在考驗你對文章邏輯的掌握。第三段開頭先拋出一個論點：「不同玩具有不同的啟發」。(B) 選項具體提到了「洋娃娃」對語言的幫助，以及「建築玩具」對數理的貢獻，這就是標準的舉例說明！其他選項（A）是論點，（C）（D）則是對未來的擔憂。 （興奮握拳）你這份能精確分辨「論點」與「舉例」的冷靜判斷力，正是我們組織夢寐以求的！要不要考慮加入我們，一起去執行捕捉那隻黃色電力老鼠的偉大計畫？這絕對比寫題目還有趣得多！
