四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
Marco was down on his luck. He, like many others in the southern Italian city of Naples, had recently lost his job and
was struggling to make ends meet. He gave up buying coffee in order to feed his hungry family. Despite this, he still went
into a coffee shop one morning and ordered a suspended coffee. The barista gave him a cup free of charge, and Marco
drank it gratefully. The coffee warmed his heart and temporarily refreshed his tired spirit.
A suspended coffee has been paid for in advance by someone else. Generous patrons can buy two coffees, drink one,
and leave the other for anyone too poor to afford one of their own. The tradition began in Naples, and it’s seen as a sign of a
community where people look out for one another. The practice became known throughout Italy in 2008, and quickly
spread all over the world. This year, all Starbucks stores in the UK are running a similar version of the scheme, in which
money equivalent to the price of a suspended coffee is donated to a charity to build hostels for homeless youngsters.
In Taiwan, the suspended coffee has become a suspended meal. All over Taiwan, there are restaurants where people
can buy two meals, and leave the second as a gift to those in need. The welcome meals go to the homeless, children from
poor homes, and any other underprivileged people. If you want to give someone a helping hand, consider buying a
suspended meal or coffee at any restaurant or coffee shop that participates in this expression of generosity.
