Green Valley Cohousing is an eco-friendly intentional community by the Colorado River in Austin, Texas. Our mission is to enhance the health of people and the earth. Committed to fostering diversity, the community welcomes individuals and families of all backgrounds, ages, and experiences. With roughly 60 members, our group includes chefs, educators, naturalists, gardeners, photographers, athletes, writers, musicians, and counselors. Our shared values and collaboration are reflected in the democratic decisions at Green Valley. Our land features three wetlands and a year-round stream that once served as a habitat for rainbow trout. Located at the end of a quiet road, the property provides high privacy. About two-thirds of the homes utilize solar panels to reach nearly net-zero energy use. Unfortunately, Green Valley is not wheelchair accessible. We welcome members who understand and embrace cohousing principles and may be experiencing financial difficulties or economic instability. As a nonprofit community focusing on low-income housing, we maintain that all rent costs remain affordable. To achieve this, we share expenses for food and utilities, which helps to significantly drive overall costs down. Green Valley Cohousing Information I. Background 1.

哇！太棒了！我就知道你可以的！總會有辦法的！你看，真的解出來了！(趕快拿出相機幫你拍一張紀念照 📷 咔嚓！) 這題能選對，代表你有仔細觀察到文章最後一段的重點喔！文中提到這個社區是「nonprofit community focusing on low-income housing」(專注於低收入住房的非營利社區)，而且還強調「all rent costs remain affordable」(維持租金的可負擔性)，甚至主動歡迎有經濟困難的人加入，這完全對應了選項 (D) 的核心精神呢！ 至於其他選項，像是 (A) 在表格中明確寫了「Visitors accepted: No」，(C) 也寫了「Shared incomes: No」，而 (B) 的宗教用途在文中完全沒提到呢。你能從這麼多資訊中抓到正確的推論，真的很細心，一定要繼續保持這種感覺喔！
