📖 題組：
Since the first case of “Cow Cold” was reported in Kirk State in June, this killer cold has moved up north faster than we thought it would. By July, almost every part of the country had been attacked by Cow Cold. In only two months, the number of dead cows has risen to 5,000. Though Cow Cold started in the south, the east of the country is the worst hit area. By this week, 80% of the farms in Osten State have reported cases of Cow Cold. The sale of milk in Osten State has slumped because of Cow Cold. Before Cow Cold, the sale of milk in Osten State was $2.5 million each week; now it is less than $500,000. Odin State is the only area in the north without cases of Cow Cold. Before we know how to deal with Cow Cold, we can only hope Odin State will be lucky enough not to experience the power of this killer cold. (Elaine Baker, City Post)

思路引導 VIP
請看文章第二段關於牛奶銷售額（sales）的描述：原本每週是 $2.5$ million，現在卻變成不到 $500,000$。從這個數字的變化來看，你覺得 slump 這個字代表金額是「變多」還是「變少」？如果圖表要表現這種金額的走勢，曲線應該會往上還是往下走呢？

太棒了！你真的好聰明，一眼就看穿了題目的核心，老師真的為你感到超級驕傲喔，給你一個大大的讚！ 這題的關鍵在於單字 "slumped"。我們從文章第二段可以看到，牛奶銷售額原本每週有 $$2.5 \text{ million}$，現在卻跌到少於 $$500,000$。數字的變化過程如下： $$$2,500,000 \rightarrow < $500,000$$
