Paragraph 1:
In 1769 in a little town in Oxfordshire, England, a child with
the very ordinary name of William Smith was born into the poor family of a
village blacksmith. He received rudimentary village schooling but mostly he
roamed his uncle's farm collecting the fossils that were so abundant in the
rocks of the Cotswold hills．When he grew older William Smith taught himself
surveying from books he bought with his small savings and at the age of
eighteen he was apprenticed to a surveyor of the local parish. He then
proceeded to teach himself geology and when he was twenty-four, he went to
work for the company that was excavating the Somerset Coal Canal in the south
of England．


2. According to paragraph 1 which of the following statements about William
Smith is NOT true?
○Smith learned surveying by reading and by apprenticing for a local surveyor
○Smith’s family lived in a small English town and possessed little wealth．
○Smith learned about fossils from books he borrowed from his uncle．
○Smith eventually left his village to work on the excavation of an English
canal.

雖然好像有點蠢
但是B選項 little wealth = poor 嗎 囧 直覺想到小康
看到就選了

為了時間的關係
連C都沒看
雖然後來看C錯的比較明顯
