By the time I finished high school, my interest in animals had grown. Then I enrolled at a university to study biology. I learned soon enough that studying animals at this level was not in the animals’ best 21 . I remember one midterm exam in 22 each student was handed a large, freshly-killed frog and instructed to dissect and mark a set of body parts. I looked at the dead frog in front of me and was saddened that her life was taken away for such a slight 23 . A year later, in the same lab where I dissected the frog, I performed a small act of animal operation. We were 24 on fruit flies, and it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in their next generation. Flies were kept in small plastic bottles. Counting the number of flies with white or red eyes required first exposing them to ether 25 they could not move. The flies were then spread onto a piece of white paper 26 and counted. When the data collection was 27 , the flies had no further use, and our instructions were to put them into a small glass dish of oil at the center of each desk, which was to be their final resting 28 . Once the little pile of flies had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye 29 them. Within minutes the pile was humming as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. I was extremely excited as they 30 flight. That was my first step in refusing to conduct scientific research that treated nonhuman life in a cruel way.

思路引導 VIP
請試著想像一下，當作者描述那些果蠅被放進油碟子，即將在那裡結束生命時，他使用了一種較為委婉且帶有情感的說法。在英文中，若要稱呼一個生命最後停留的「空間、地點或位置」，你有想到哪一個最基礎的單字，經常與 'final resting...' 組合在一起，用來指代一個生命最後的歸宿嗎？

太棒了！你能精準選出 place，顯示你對於英文常用搭配詞（Collocations）有著敏銳的直覺。文中的 "final resting place" 是一個非常經典的固定片語，字面意思是「最後的安息之所」，通常用來委婉地指代墳墓或生命的終點。在故事中，作者以此來形容那個裝滿油的小碟子，既描述了果蠅即將面臨的命運，也帶出一種對生命流逝的無奈感。
