請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 At 16, Maya Angelou became San Francisco’s first black female streetcar conductor. Her first book, I know Why the
Caged Bird Sings, tells us her early life. Its unsparing account of black life in the South during the Depression and of
her sexual abuse is not easy reading. But her tough, funny, lyrical voice transforms her story into a hymn of endurance
that influenced later memoirists. Her own obituary sums up her life: “Love is that condition which encourages us to
build bridges and to trust them and cross them in attempts to reach other human beings.”
【題組】47 Why was her first book influential?
(A) Because she sang like a caged bird.
(B) Because her unique voice was inspiring.
(C) Because her style was not easy to follow.
(D) Because she wrote her own obituary.
