📖 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.”

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文中提到 "making sacrifices" 後面的內容，Libby 提到她很想睡到中午、去參加夏令營，或是跟朋友去旅行，但因為要在農場工作而沒辦法去。想一想，當一個人為了做某件事（例如工作），而不得不「放棄」或「捨棄」掉其他原本想做的事情時，這種行為通常是在表達什麼意思呢？
