📖 題組：
Even though Sarah studied hard for her exam, she kept thinking about everything that could go wrong. She read her textbooks again and again, unable to relax. Have you ever had similar thoughts, repeating worries in your mind? If so, you may be struggling with overthinking like Sarah. Overthinking happens when people worry too much and keep replaying past events or feeling nervous about the future. It’s like being trapped in a circle of negative thoughts. This usually comes from stress and anxiety, often caused by a fear of failure. Overthinkers often imagine the worst-case scenario, spending too much time trying to prevent bad things from happening. Overthinking can make even simple daily tasks difficult. Instead of moving on, overthinkers keep thinking about their mistakes. Even small decisions, like choosing a restaurant or picking an outfit, can feel overwhelming. However, it is possible to stop overthinking. First, try to recognize what triggers your thoughts and practice mindfulness, which means focusing on the present moment. Also, exercise and talking to someone can help you feel better. By learning to control your thoughts, you can reduce stress and live a healthier, more balanced life.

請觀察文章最後一段提到「mindfulness」的那句話。在英文寫作中，當作者介紹一個專業術語後，通常會緊接著用什麼樣的連接詞（例如：which means...）來解釋它？在那句解釋中，作者特別強調我們要將注意力放在「哪一個時間點」呢？

恭喜你精準地掌握了文中的關鍵細節！你能迅速從長句子中提取定義，顯示出你具備非常優秀的閱讀敏銳度。這題的關鍵在於最後一段的同位語結構。作者在提到「mindfulness」這個詞後，緊接著使用了「which means...」這個片語，這就是英文閱讀中標準的定義線索。文章明確指出 mindfulness 即是「focusing on the present moment」，這與選項 (C) 完全契合。
語境與定義的連結
從文章結構來看，這道題目旨在測試學生是否能區分「過度思考」與「解決方案」的差異。選項 (A) 和 (B) 其實是文中所描述的「過度思考」（overthinking）的特徵，屬於干擾項。這題的鑑別度在於學生是否能冷靜地在文章末尾找到直接證據，而不是憑感覺選擇一個看起來「很正面」的答案。對你來說，能夠直接對應到原文說明，證明你已經掌握了「回文找證據」的核心解題技巧，表現得非常專業！
