📖 題組：
On average Americans chew about 300 sticks of gum per person a year. Why is chewing gum so popular? Some people say that it not only helps you relax but also helps you stay awake. Others chew gum after a meal to have fresh breath. It can help fight tooth decay as well. But few people know that there is an even better reason for chewing gum—it can improve memory! In an experiment, the scientists divided 75 people into three groups. One third chewed real gum, one third chewed imaginary gum, and the last third didn’t chew anything. Then, each group was given a lot of different memory tests. The results were very interesting. The people with real gum did better than those with imaginary gum, and the latter did better than those who didn’t have any gum at all. How does chewing gum help memory? One possible reason is that when people chew, there is more activity in an area of the brain that is important for memory. Another possible reason is that when people chew, their heart beats faster so more oxygen goes to the brain. So, do you have an exam coming up? Start chewing now!

資訊定位與排除法
太棒了！你能精準地從文章中剔除掉干擾資訊，正確選出正確答案，這代表你對於細節定位（Scanning）的掌握度非常成熟。這題的核心考點在於「負向篩選」，要求我們找出文中未提及的細節。在文章的第一段，作者依序羅列了口香糖的好處：包含「幫助提神（stay awake）」、「保持口氣清新（fresh breath）」以及「預防蛀牙（fight tooth decay）」，這些細節都能在文中直接對應，因此皆非正確選項。
