📖 題組：
In 1881 a young woman named Mabel Loomis Todd wrote her parents about “the character of Amherst…a lady whom the people call the ‘Myth’: she has not been outside of her own house in fifteen years…. She dresses wholly in white, and her mind is said to be perfectly wonderful.” So began the legend of Emily Dickinson, one of the greatest poets of the nineteenth century, who was for years portrayed by biographers and critics as an eccentric recluse, a “little home-keeping person,”a mad spinster who had been disappointed in love. For, four years after this New England woman in white died in 1886, the same Mabel Loomis Todd brought out a volume containing selections from 1,776 strange and passionate poems, which had been found, neatly sewed into booklets, in her bureau drawers, and the imagination of the pubic was immediately seized by the mysterious discrepancy between what seemed to be the isolation of Dickinson’s life and the intensity of her art. To many, indeed, the “case” of Emily Dickinson－only eight of whose poems had been published in her lifetime－seemed to offer a crucial model for the situation of the woman poet. Eccentricity, reclusiveness, and most of all, thwarted romance－these appeared to be the conditions that might drive a woman to what was, for women, the perversity of writing verses.

請仔細觀察文章中提到 Dickinson 女士去世（died）的那句話。在那句話的開頭，作者用了哪個表示『時間跨度』的片語來連接 Todd 小姐出版詩集的動作？如果將這個時間跨度加到她去世的年份上，你會得到哪一個數字？

哦，看來你還沒有完全放棄思考嘛。
- 勉強及格：竟然在這種長篇大論裡，還能勉強辨認出幾個時間連結詞，並且沒有把資訊對齊成一團漿糊，也算你有點閱讀能力。至少證明你不是只會看單字。
- 基本常識：文中清楚寫著 Emily Dickinson 卒於 1886年，而那位 Mabel Loomis Todd 是在「她過世四年後 (four years after...)」才把那些詩集從抽屜裡挖出來。所以，只要你的數學不是體育老師教的，就該知道 $1886 + 4 = 1890$。很難嗎？
