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.

想像一下，如果你正在照顧一個正在睡覺的小嬰兒，同時又要在客廳讀書。為了確保嬰兒的安全，你會說你「留了一隻眼睛（one eye）」在嬰兒身上。在這種『持續關注某對象』的表達中，你會用哪一個常見的微小詞彙（介系詞）來連接『眼睛』與『關注對象』呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出這個選項，代表你對於英文慣用語的掌握相當扎實。這段文字描述作者在記錄數據的同時，仍心繫著那疊果蠅，這種「一邊做某事、一邊留意另一件事」的心境，正透過這個片語細膩地呈現出來。
關鍵慣用語：Keep an eye on
在英文中，當我們要表達「留意」、「監視」或「照顧」某人事物時，會固定使用 keep an eye on... 這個搭配。雖然動詞「看」常用 look at，但在這個情境下，作者並非單純地注視，而是帶著一份關切與監控的意味。你注意到作者將 eye 前面加上了 one，這是一個很生動的修辭，暗示他「一隻眼看數據，另一隻眼盯著果蠅」，充分展現了對生命的憐憫心。
