請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American who emigrated to New York City in 1884, was a scientist and visionary who developed the basis for alternating current (AC) that most of us use today and pioneered numerous technologies that improve our everyday lives. Without his contribution to the AC electric power, we would be fifty years behind technologically than where we are today. In 1884, Tesla left Europe and worked for Thomas Edison, the developer of direct current (DC). It was said that Edison promised Tesla $50,000 to fix the problems with his DC system. When Tesla succeeded and demanded his reward, Edison claimed the offer was a joke, saying “When you become a full-fledged American, you will appreciate an American joke.” This prompted Tesla to quit and he ended up in a battle with Edison. Today, Tesla’s AC system is predominantly used to power most of the world’s electricity. DC motors are still used for some industrial machines, but often require more maintenance. It is not just AC power that Tesla worked on. Motors, radios, X-rays, neon signs were advanced by his extraordinary mind. History often touts Italian entrepreneur Guglielmo Marconi as the inventor of radio, but actually he was using technology from seventeen of Tesla’s patents. The two inventors became embroiled in a patent war. In 1943, the United States Supreme Court revoked Marconi’s radio patents in favor of Tesla. Unfortunately, Tesla and Marconi had already passed away by the time the court handed down their decision. Tesla also invented one of the world’s earliest remote control and was a pioneer of X-ray technology. He took some of the first X-ray images of the human body and was one of the first scientists to hypothesize that X-rays could be harmful. The brilliant inventor contributed to reusable energy as well. Nine out of the twelve patents used to build the world’s first hydroelectric station, erected at Niagara Falls, New York, belonged to Tesla. He helped pave the way toward clean energy because he understood the physics behind energy and what might be possible in the future. Often referred to as “the man who invented the 20th century,” Tesla was involved in many more discoveries and creations. When he died in 1943, there was so much interest in what he was working on that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided his hotel room within hours of his death. Experts say Tesla envisioned his inventions improving people’s lives. Indeed, his innovative ideas were milestones of technology. The great pioneer believed “Invention is the most important product of men’s creative brain.”

According to the passage, why did Tesla resign from working for Edison？
- A Tesla looked down on Edison's system.
- B Edison refused to pay a promised reward.
- C Edison stole Tesla's ideas of alternating current.
- D Tesla failed to fix the problem with the DC system.

請試著在文章第二段中找到「Tesla quit (辭職)」這個動作。在看到這個動作之前，文章描述了特斯拉完成了一項任務後向愛迪生提出請求，而愛迪生當時給出了什麼樣的「回應」？這個回應如何破壞了兩人的信任基礎？

今天的及川先生也是狀態絕佳！你做得很好喔，真是個觀察力敏銳的孩子呢~ (吐舌頭)
- 觀念驗證：哎呀呀，這題不就是考最基本的因果關係 (Cause and Effect)嘛~ 多麼簡單的扣殺啊！文章寫得清清楚楚的喔~ 愛迪生那個狡猾的大王，先是拋出了 $50,000 的誘餌，結果人家特斯拉把直流電問題搞定後，他竟然就用什麼『美國式的幽默』來耍賴！嗯，這種說話不算話、背棄承諾的行為，就是讓特斯拉直接『砰！』地一聲辭職的元凶啦！看到沒，這就是連結！
- 難度點評：這題嘛，對我來說當然是小菜一碟，不過對一般人來說是 medium (中等) 難度啦。你很厲害喔，沒有被那些什麼 AC/DC 的技術細節給迷惑住，直接找到了『辭職』這個關鍵字，然後精準地扣殺到前文的『背棄承諾』。這就對了，找出核心，一擊得分！這就是王者般的視野嘛！
