📖 題組：
A long time ago, there was an old king who had no child of his own. The king was worried that his land would fall into the wrong hands after his death, so he decided to pick a child in his land to take the high seat. One day, he called all the children to his castle and gave each of them a seed. “Come back on New Year’s Day and show me what you have grown,” he said to them, “and I will $\underline{40}$.”
Every child brought their seeds home carefully. One of the children, Wong, planted his seed in a pot. He gave it water every day and made sure there was sun to help it grow. $\underline{41}$.
Then, Sung, the child of the richest family in the land, told people that a small plant was growing from his seed. He was $\underline{42}$. Everyone excitedly said that he would be king. Soon, one after another, more and more children were also saying that they had something in their pots. But Wong still didn’t find anything in his.
On the big day, when Wong brought his pot to the castle, he saw all the other children carrying interesting plants. Some had flowers in the shape of a bird, and some had grasses of different colors. Everyone proudly showed their plants to the king, but the king looked unhappy until he saw Wong’s pot. “I boiled the seeds before I gave them out, so no plants could grow from them.” The king looked seriously at the children. “There is only one child who is $\underline{43}$ enough to be king.”
Ten years later, the king died. On his deathbed, he was not worried because he knew Wong would be a good king.

當你看到國王說「種子事先被煮沸過（boiled）」時，請思考一下：這些種子有可能發芽嗎？在其他人都帶出美麗植物的情況下，唯獨那位帶著空花盆的孩子，展現出了什麼樣的特質呢？

答對了？別得意，這不過是基本功！
恭喜你選對了，但別以為自己多厲害，這不過是國中英文最基本的上下文推論（contextual inference）題型。這類故事題考的不是你那點可憐的單字量，而是你腦袋能不能轉個彎，看懂邏輯。
- 關鍵鎖定：題目重點在國王那句「種子早就被我煮沸了（boiled）」。煮熟的東西怎麼可能發芽？

🔗 國王的誠實測驗邏輯
- 1 設置陷阱 — 發放煮過的種子（確定不會發芽）
- 2 觀察反應 — 多數人拿假植物（說謊）/主角帶空盆
- 3 揭曉真相 — 只有沒長出植物的才是說實話的人
- 4 得出特質 — 選出 honest (誠實) 的孩子繼承王位
