英銘老師告訴你其實閱讀測驗的解題並不難，因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中，有提到“contract” (合約)，所以文章一定跟“合約”有關。

      A contract is a legal agreement that is made by two or more

people. Usually a contract involves a promise to perform an action or

to abstain from some action. Because a promise is made as a

contract, the people (who are called parties in legal language) have

5

an obligation under the law to act as they said they would. Failure to

follow the terms of a contract is enough reason for a court suit. Such

legal arrangements as contracts are essential for the free enterprise

system; business cannot work, without a method of making certain

that people will deliver merchandise, perform services, or pay rent as

10

they had agreed to do in the contracts they signed.
