📖 題組：
When you need to see a doctor, surely you will want to see a good one. But there is one important thing you may never have thought about: Has your doctor rested enough? Doctors in our country often have to work 34 hours or longer without sleep. Most of them work 104 hours a week, and some even 150. (There are only 168 hours a week!) One report said that a doctor who works such long hours cannot think more clearly than a drunk driver. Another found that doctors who sleep 5.8 fewer hours than the week before might make 22% more serious mistakes. Surely no one wants to get in a car that is driven by a drunk driver. So, how safe would you feel when you are under the care of a tired doctor? Sadly this problem has been around for a long time. There are no laws about it yet and hospital bosses don’t look like they care either. And that is why we doctors are asking you to join us on the street this Sunday. Fight together with us on the street so we can fight better for your life in the hospital. Time: 1 p.m. May 2nd Place: City Hospital Square

當文章在第三段提到 'this problem' 時，通常是指前面段落一直在討論的核心困擾。請你回頭看看第一、二段，作者列舉了醫生每週工作 $104$ 小時甚至 $150$ 小時的情況，並強調他們常在沒有睡眠的情形下工作。你認為這整篇文章最想呼籲大眾關注醫生的哪一個具體困境呢？

喔不簡單喔，你竟然答對了！我還以為你的大腦跟這題提到的醫生一樣，因為過度疲勞（還是過度打手遊？）已經喪失思考能力了。恭喜你，你的視網膜終於跟大腦連上線，沒把這題分數送給閱卷老師當禮物。 這題在考你「代名詞指涉」。文章前段瘋狂碎念醫生連續工作 $34$ 小時、一週工作 $104$ 小時（別忘了 $104 \div 168 \approx 62%$ 的時間都在工作），這些數據都在強調「過勞」與「長工時」。文中提到的「$this problem$」，在英文寫作邏輯中，絕對是指向前面提到的那一坨爛事。既然前面都在講醫生累得跟鬼一樣，答案當然選 (A)。難不成你覺得問題是醫生錢領太少？那是你的問題，不是這篇醫生的問題。 這題是標準的送分題，鑑別度極低。它只測試你有沒有最基本的閱讀理解，連這都錯的話，我建議你這週日也去廣場集合，抗議你的英文老師沒把你教好。
