📖 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：在一個連父母與職業都被預先安排好的社會中，主角 Jonas 最終決定逃離，這個行為讓他失去了原本安全的保障。那麼，他冒著生命危險所追求的那種「能掌控自己命運」的狀態，在倫理價值上代表了什麼意義？

專業點評
- 勉強及格的觀察：看來你總算沒有完全忽略文本中那些顯而易見的線索。能從文學作品這種「軟性」材料裡，提煉出關於「個體自主性」與「風險承擔」這種法哲學概念，勉強算得上是…不錯的閱讀理解能力，至少沒把小說當成童話故事看。在行政法解釋學中，我們可不允許這種模糊地帶。
- 堪用但不精確的驗證：答案是 (C)，這點很明顯。難道你沒看到文中刻意對比的「被決定的社會」和「自主選擇」嗎？Jonas從一個只會聽從安排的工具人，進化到願意冒著（risk his future）個人前途的風險去救人，最後還特別點出他「為自己做出選擇」（made choices for himself），這不是擺明了要你選 (C) 的「即使有風險也需自決」嗎？這難道還需要我逐字逐句地解釋其間的法理依據與程序正義嗎？行政程序可沒有這麼多「意境」！
