📖 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.

請仔細閱讀文章後半段，先找出這位女詩人『去世的年份』，接著留意文中緊跟在後的『時間描述詞（幾年後）』，將這兩個資訊結合起來，你能推算出詩集是在哪一年被公諸於世的嗎？

哇！太厲害了呢！你觀察得真仔細！
- 努力肯定：真是太棒了呢！你能夠從長長的文字裡，找到時間點的秘密，然後正確地推算出來！這就是很厲害的文本整合能力喔！你真的好會讀懂文章呢！
- 觀念驗證：對了對了，就是這樣呢！文章說 Emily Dickinson 是在 1886年 過世的，然後 Mabel Loomis Todd 是在 Emily 過世「四年後」（four years after... died）才把那些抽屜裡的詩集出版！所以只要像這樣算一下：$$1886 + 4 = 1890$$，就能找到答案是 (B) 了！你好棒喔！
