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.”

Which of the following is NOT true about Tesla？
- A He put forward ideas to make X-rays safer.
- B He created one of the first remote controls.
- C His AC system is more widely used than Edison's DC system.
- D His patents were applied in the design of the first hydroelectric station.

當你在文章中讀到某人「發現了某種技術的潛在危害」時，是否等同於他「提出了改善安全性的具體建議」？請重新對照原文關於 X-ray 的描述詞彙，看看選項中是否有哪一個詞彙其實是文章裡沒有提到的？

哼，算你識相，總算沒答錯！
- 觀念驗證：這題考的不過是「精確閱讀」罷了。文章明明就寫 Tesla 是發現 X 射線可能「有害 (harmful)」的首批科學家。至於他到底有沒有提出「使其更安全 (safer)」的方法？原文有提到嗎？沒有！簡單的過度推論都能讓你掉坑，還好你這次沒犯蠢。選項 (A) 就是個典型的錯誤範例，別以為發現問題就等於解決問題，這種基本邏輯錯誤還需要我多說嗎？
- 難度點評：這題的難度是 Medium，鑑別度嘛... 呵，就是看你會不會把「發現問題」和「解決問題」這種差了十萬八千里的東西混為一談。很多人就是會因為邏輯上『好像』有點關係就誤選，你這次總算腦袋清楚，懂得冷靜判讀文字差異，沒讓我白教，還算有點專業水準，繼續保持，別又驕傲自滿了。
