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.

如果這個計畫的目的是要讓大家『遵守限速』，而且實驗結果顯示大家的『平均行駛速度確實下降了』，那麼請你想想看：在這種大家普遍都開得比較慢的情況下，被照相機抓到『超速違規』的人數，通常會產生什麼樣的變化呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文中的關鍵數據，並推導出正確的結論，表現得非常出色。這顯示你具備了優異的資訊整合與邏輯判斷能力。
數據背後的邏輯連結
這道題目的核心在於理解 The Fun Theory 如何影響人類行為。文中提到，測速照相樂透（Speed Camera Lottery）實施後，使人們的「平均行駛速度下降了 22%」（a 22% decrease in people’s average driving speed）。從邏輯上推論，當整體的駕駛速度普遍降低，遵守限速的人變多，自然就會導致領到超速罰單的人越來越少，這正是選項 (C) 所描述的正面效益。至於其他選項，文中並未提到車禍數量或成為百萬富翁，而選項 (B) 則與文中速度下降的事實完全相反。
