Is stray animal protection as urgent as it seems? As a matter of fact, I would like to change the movement's name to "de-privileged animal protection." Stray animals can neither speak for their own rights nor register as voters. They are the most unprivileged among the underprivileged. Suppose the whole society sees them not as life but as trash. In that case, we would treat foreign laborers, old citizens who live alone, people with disabilities, and all other minority groups similarly, as if a domino effect starts to implement itself. However, if we secure the first domino piece, that is, if we can rescue a stray cat out of kindness, shall we fail to treat other species (including humans) in suffering kindly? I recalled a reader from a university abroad saying in his letter to me, "I envy neither democracy nor wealth in Taiwan. But I do envy the kindness and tolerance of Taiwanese people as shown in their kind treatment of non-human species described in your cat book." Therefore, it is not a matter of cat caring or not (to use the rhetoric of relativism permeating throughout this society, as in "Just as you have the freedom to love cats, so I have the freedom to hate them"). We care for aboriginal kids or starving kids in Africa, not because we love or do not love them. It is an act of generosity, rightly making us a civilized being.

According to the passage, what do foreign laborers, old citizens who live alone, and people with disabilities have in common?

AThey are in large numbers.
BThey do not enjoy social benefits.
CThey suffer from discrimination.正確答案
DThey are often in the news.
答案與詳解
C
正確答案
短文指出外勞、獨居老人、身障人士與流浪動物同屬弱勢少數群體,若社會視動物為垃圾,將連鎖影響對這些族群的態度,即歧視處境的共通性。

為什麼答案是 C

短文明確指出:若社會將流浪動物視為垃圾,就會「treat foreign laborers, old citizens who live alone, people with disabilities, and all other minority groups similarly」,以骨牌效應(domino effect)說明這些群體同樣遭受歧視性對待,共通點正是「suffer from discrimination」。
