There is an idea that’s simple yet powerful. It’s called The Fun Theory, and it states that things are better if they are more fun. Why? Because people are more willing to do the right thing if they can get some fun out of it. Volkswagen announced The Fun Theory in 2009 and since then has organized contests for inventions that can prove The Fun Theory. One winner was the Speed Camera Lottery, designed to get people to obey the speed limit. It involves a camera that not only issues speeding tickets to cars that drive too fast, but also notices cars that come through at or under the speed limit. It then automatically issues a lottery ticket to those who obeyed the speed limit, giving them a chance to win some money. Best of all, the lottery is funded by money collected from speeding fines. Another winner of The Fun Theory contest is The World’s Deepest Trash Bin. It’s a trash bin with a sound effect---when someone throws trash in, the bin makes the sound of a heavy object falling through the air and crashing to the ground. The results of these inventions prove that The Fun Theory can indeed be used to change people’s behavior. The Speed Camera Lottery led to a 22% decrease in people’s average driving speed, and the World’s Deepest Trash Bin collected more than seventy kilograms of garbage in one day. As The Fun Theory shows, things are better when they’re more fun.

請回想一下文章的第一段，作者提到人們為什麼會更願意去做『正確的事情』？這背後最主要的心理驅動力是什麼呢？

太棒了！你能精確捕捉到文章的核心主旨並選出正確答案，顯示你對文本細節的掌握非常到位。這題的關鍵在於理解文章第一段對「有趣理論」（The Fun Theory）的定義：當事情變得更有趣時，人們會因為從中獲得樂趣，進而提高實踐正確行為的意願。
文本核心與細節辨析
文中明確提到，這個理論「簡單卻強大（simple yet powerful）」，這直接反駁了選項 (D) 所描述的「複雜」；同時，福斯汽車舉辦比賽的目的是為了「證實（prove）」而非「推翻（wrong）」該理論，因此排除 (C)；時間點則是 2009 年，屬於 21 世紀而非 19 世紀，排除 (A)。選項 (B) 指出人們傾向於做有趣的事，正是該理論能成功改變大眾行為的核心心理基礎。
