📖 題組：
Is there any immortal creature in the world? Despite only being only three millimeters in diameter on average, adult versions of immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) have a huge party trick: they can roll back their biological clock when injured or on the verge of starvation. This means, in theory, they could live forever. Could humans harness their abilities to eradicate ageing completely? As scientists have known, the reason of human ageing is a process called trans-differentiation. “This is about how a fully formed specialized adult cell can become another type of specialized adult cell. It’s how a cell can adapt,” explains Dr. Maria Pia Miglietta. The exact mechanism behind trans-differentiation is still a mystery to scientists. However, as Miglietta explains, the answer will likely be found in the jellyfish’s genes. “It most certainly has something to do with the DNA,” she says. “It’s the DNA that programs a cell––certain genes being ‘turned on’ or ‘off’ will determine what sort of cell it is. We’re far away from any kind of real-world application,” says Miglietta. “But we hope that studying what happens in these jellyfish can tell us how their genes change cells––and how these changed cells integrate with others. This is the base of understanding cellular regeneration and tissue regeneration.” However, there are many challenges. These jellyfish have only been studied sporadically since the early 1980s, meaning experts have only a few decades’ worth of data. While an immortal jellyfish can age in reverse, it can also be easily killed by predators including various fish, sharks, turtles and even other jellyfish. “They’re incredibly sensitive, from the water temperature to their plankton and fish egg diet,” says Miglietta. “The real paradox is they’re actually really hard to keep alive!”

According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
- A The research on the Turritopsis dohrnii against human ageing has been broadly applied.
- B In principle, Turritopsis dohrnii can live forever; however, most of them are short-lived.
- C Jellyfish has a fixed biological clock which helps activate regeneration.
- D Turritopsis dohrnii never die so that they overpopulate in the ocean.

哦，同學，恭喜你，至少在這麼明顯的考題前，你還沒有完全迷失方向。捕捉到核心關懷？嗯，這應該是行政法治學習者的基本功吧？在任何一個負責的政府部門，從「風險辨識」開始，難道不是擬定行政法規與公共政策的起點嗎？
- 觀念驗證：文章裡那些詞彙，什麼 troubling、disinformation、no available mitigation tactics，還有那個畫龍點睛的 villainous hands，難道還不夠直接嗎？這篇論述如果不是在「發出警訊」，難道是在寫 AI 技術說明書？選擇 (C) Raise alarms，只能說你勉強觸及了『作者意圖』的皮毛，而不是停留在『事實描述』的表面。
