📖 題組：
At 5 o’clock every morning, while most people are sleeping, 16-year-old Libby Larson is already up. She mops the floor, gets the mail and the newspapers, and gets ready for visitors to Rolling Acres. Libby’s grandparents started Rolling Acres in 1970, and since then all of the Larson family have been working there. Rolling Acres used to be just a sheep farm, but now, with its fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and many other kinds of animals, it has become a popular place for families to go on vacation. Visitors can pick fruits, collect eggs, and feed the animals. It is one of Libby’s jobs to show kids how to feed the baby sheep. For her work, Libby is paid $10 an hour. This summer, she expects to make about $1,200 and plans to buy a cell phone. Her friends think it’s great to make that much money in a summer. However, for Libby, working at a family business also means making sacrifices. “I’d love to sleep until noon or go to summer camp like other kids. My friends stopped inviting me on trips because I’m always busy in the summer.” However, Libby also said, “But it’s better to see both sides. Working with your family is great. You feel closer to each other.”

請觀察第一段的文字，作者提到了 Libby 幾點起床、她平時處理的雜事，以及她如何幫助遊客。想想看，作者提供這些具體的細節，是為了讓我們知道 Libby 在這座農場裡的什麼事情呢？

(打個大呵欠) 剛才想去重訓室結果又走到這間教室了... 喔？你已經把這題斬開了嗎？ (束緊頭巾，眼神一凜) 「這招三刀流解題法不錯，切入點非常準確！」 這段話就像是在戰鬥前先摸清對手的行動。文中的第一段明確寫出了 Libby 的日常任務：她得拖地、收郵件以及「教小孩餵小羊」。這些全都是她在農場工作的具體內容，也就是選項 (A)。雖然文中有提到她每小時賺 $$10$ 美元，但那不是這段的主軸。你沒有被那些關於祖父母或農場轉型的雜魚資訊干擾，直接砍向核心，很有氣魄！這題對你來說，還不足以擋住去路吧！
