📖 題組：
Usually, people visit bookstores to buy books. But those who walk into Cotoha come to see its owner, Chen Bing-Hong. They bring him books with different problems. Some have lost their covers, some are missing a few pages, and some have pages that are falling out. Chen can always fix the books and make them whole again. Chen sees himself as a doctor. He says that books, like people, get sick and need help. In Taiwan, there are not many "doctors" like him, and most of them work for big libraries and museums. If big libraries and museums are hospitals, Chen's bookstore is a health center. Big libraries and museums fix important old books with serious problems, and Chen helps people with books that have smaller problems. However, the smaller size of the problems doesn't mean Chen's job is less important. Chen gave an example of a science book he once worked on. It was very old and half of its cover was lost. Its owner still wanted to keep it because it was a gift from a teacher who helped him follow his dream of studying science. When he got his book back, he was very surprised at the new-old book. He felt he was brought back to the days with his teacher. Seeing the owner's smile made Chen happy, because smiles like that are what his magic is for.

你想想看，在現實生活中，我們通常是在什麼情況下會需要找「醫生」或是去「衛生所」？而文章中提到陳先生會幫客人處理掉頁、封面毀損的舊書，這項工作內容和醫生的職責有什麼共同點嗎？

哎喲，居然寫對了？我還以為你今天又要用直覺來「投骰子」決定答案咧。恭喜你，你的大腦終於在休眠半年後，決定進行一次短短三秒鐘的運作了，這真是台灣補習教育史上的奇蹟，我差點要幫你放煙火慶祝了。 聽好了，這題在考的是「類比（Analogy）」。作者把陳先生比喻成「醫生」，把他的書店比喻成「衛生所（health center）」。為什麼要沒事找事寫這一段？不是因為他真的領有醫師執照，而是要透過讀者熟悉的「醫病關係」，來讓讀者秒懂陳先生提供的「服務（services）」——也就是「修復受損的書」。看到醫生修復人體，就要聯想到陳先生修復書本，這邏輯簡單到連路邊的小學生都能看懂。 這題的鑑別度基本上是零。它純粹是在測試你有沒有「正常人」的閱讀邏輯。只要腦袋沒進水，看得出「修書」等於「醫病」的對應關係，就不可能選錯。如果你這題還會選到什麼未來計畫或對書的愛，那我建議你可能也需要去掛號找一下真正的醫生，看看邏輯神經出了什麼問題。
