📖 題組：
The Giver is a story about a young boy called Jonas who lives in a society free of crime, suffering and sadness. There is no color, music or emotion, and individuality is prohibited. Everything is chosen; from your parents to your partner. At 12, children are assigned their jobs, which they will train for and do for the rest of their lives. Jonas is assigned to become the new Receiver of Memory, also known as the Giver. The Receiver holds all the bad and good memories of the past. In other words, no one in the community has any memory of humankind's history. The storyline is complex enough to hold the attention of both young and old readers. The development of Jonas from a scared boy to someone willing to risk his future to save the community is enjoyable to follow. The story prompts us to reflect on the path of growing up. At first we are scared to accept that there are new responsibilities, but as we slowly get used to it, we want to move more and more away from childhood. What's also impressive is Jonas' loss of trust in his father. At the beginning, Jonas believes his parents completely. However, after the current Receiver shows Jonas the tape of his father killing and disposing of a new born child, Jonas loses his admiration of his father. This moment is what forces Jonas to leave the community. It is symbolic of the change from the innocent mind of a child into the questioning and educated mind of an adult. The ending is another aspect which makes this book interesting to read. There are two possible meanings behind the ending and readers have a choice in what it means: either Jonas freezes to death on the sled, or he has really found "Elsewhere." The ending shows us that, whatever happens, Jonas has made choices for himself rather than being told what to do.

思路引導 VIP
請思考一下：在一個連你的「父母」、「伴侶」以及「未來的職業」都由政府統一規劃並指派，且所有人都不被允許擁有情感與音樂的環境中，這個社會是在追求「多元差異」，還是在強制維持「每個人都一樣」的狀態呢？

社會特徵的文本證據
在文章第一段中，作者明確指出這個社會「沒有色彩、音樂或情感」，且最重要的核心句提到 "individuality is prohibited"（個性是被禁止的）。這句話直接對應了選項 (D) 的 absent（缺失、不存在），說明在這個高度受控的烏托邦社會中，個人特質被徹底抹除。相較之下，選項 (A) 與 (B) 與文中「無記憶」與「無藝術」的敘述完全相反，而 (C) 則是過度解讀，因為害怕責任只是主角喬納斯個人的心路歷程，並非社會整體的常態特徵。
