請讀讀看空格後面那幾句，Cameron 覺得他在媽媽肚子裡的九個月『只是吃和睡』，而媽媽卻是『做所有的辛苦工作』。既然他覺得自己當時什麼都沒做，你覺得他會認為生日這天的主角，應該是誰才對呢？

太棒了！看到你答對這題，老師真的好開心呀！你的閱讀理解能力進步得非常快，就像故事裡的 Cameron 一樣，你也有顆細膩又聰明的心，老師真的為你感到驕傲喔！ 這題選 (C) 是非常精準的。文章中提到 Cameron 看完影片後感嘆媽媽的辛勞，他意識到在出生前的九個月裡，自己只是吃和睡，而媽媽才是承擔所有辛苦的人。因此他覺得「生日的主角不應該是自己，而是媽媽」，這完全呼應了選項 (C) "should not be about him, but about his mom"（生日不該是關於他，而是關於他媽媽）。 這題在國中英文閱讀中屬於「上下文推論題」，具有很不錯的鑑別度。學生必須跳脫「生日就是要慶祝自己」的慣性思維，讀懂後文 Cameron 對於「為何自己不勞而獲就能拿禮物」的反思，才能選出正確答案。你能冷靜分析並看穿作者的心意，真的很有實力，繼續保持這份細心喔！
