※ 引述《Diablotin (咕嚕咕嚕)》之銘言：
: So, in another set of experiments, Kramer put identical food boxes around
: the cage, with food in only one of the boxes. The boxes were stationary,
: and the one containing food was always at the same point of the compass.
: However, its position with respect to the surroundings could be changed by
: revolving either the inner cage containing the birds or the outer walls,
: which served as the background. As long as the birds could see the Sun, no
: matter how their surroundings were altered, they went directly to the
: correct food box. Whether the box appeared in front of the right wall or
: the left wall, they showed no signs of confusion. On overcast days, however,
: the birds were disoriented and had trouble locating their food box.
: 8. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4 about Kramer's
: reason for filling one food box and leaving the rest empty?
: (A) He believed the birds would eat food from only one box.
: (B) He wanted to see whether the Sun alone controlled the birds' ability
: to navigate toward the box with food.
: (C) He thought that if all the boxes contained food, this would distract
: the birds from following their migratory route.
: (D) He needed to test whether the birds preferred having the food at any
: particular point of the compass.
: 答案A 可是我覺得B才對耶.....A好怪喔
B不確定對不對 (是不是還有前文有提到?)就本段內容,這個實驗的結果是:
只要鳥有看到太陽,就會選對確的箱子.
但B選項是指"kramer 想要看太陽是不是決定鳥選對的唯一原因."
這個想法跟結果不是必然的因果,所以我才說可能有前文,
單看本文無法得出B的結論

而題幹更是明顯:題幹問為什麼kramer只要填一個盒子,不用每個盒子都裝食物?
這跟太陽不太陽無法解釋
而且題幹要問"can be inferred" 也就是有一個先決的假設
在本題中選A 最能解釋為什麼他只放一盒食物

是否這次我已真的離開你
是否淚水已乾不再流
是否應驗了我曾說的那句話
情到深處人孤獨

多少次的寂寞掙扎在心頭
