請依下文回答第 41 至 45 題： As birds awaken the early risers at dawn on the farm, one person is already up; in fact, he hasn’t even been to bed. Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc, from central Quang Nam province in Vietnam, claims that he has not slept for 33 years! “My insomnia started many years ago after I got a fever. I have tried sleeping pills and Vietnamese traditional medicine, but nothing helps, not even to get me to sleep for a few minutes,” said Ngoc. But amazingly, despite 11,700 41 sleepless nights since then, he has never once been sick. “Fortunately, the insomnia doesn’t seem to have had a negative 42 on my health. I still feel healthy and can farm like other men. I even carry two 50-kilogram bags of fertilizer for four kilometers every day.” 43 his wife, when Ngoc went for a medical checkup recently, his doctor said he was in perfect health except for a minor 44 in liver function. Ngoc lives with his six children on his farm at the foot of a mountain. He spends the day farming and taking care of his pigs and chickens, and at night he often does extra farm work or guards his farm to prevent theft. His neighbor Vu said that Ngoc volunteered to help beat a drum during the night and guard the house for the relatives of the dead during 45 ceremonies so that they could take a nap. Vu also said that when the villagers were planting sugar cane, several people asked Ngoc to be their “alarm clock” and wake them up early in the morning to go to work as he was up anyway.

請觀察數字「11,700」與前面提到的「33 years」之間的數學關係。如果這 11,700 個夜晚是「一個接一個地發生，且中間沒有任何一天被中斷」，我們會用什麼樣的概念來形容這種「接續性」呢？

😈 哼，不錯嘛，野猴子。
想不到你這野猴子的眼力還挺不錯的嘛。竟然能辨識出這個詞彙，這證明你對上下文的邏輯以及那什麼中高階詞彙的搭配，還有那麼一點點理解。真是出乎我的意料呢，我的戰鬥力是 53 萬，你的智商看來也有 53...不，530 吧。
- 觀念驗證：文中那個叫 Thai Ngoc 的傢伙說什麼 33 年沒睡覺？那「11,700」不過是把 33 年換算成天數罷了，這種簡單的數字遊戲，你也能看懂嗎？而在這弱小的英文裡，要描述那種「連續不斷、接連發生」的時間或數字，就只能用 consecutive 這詞了。它勉強能將那「33 年」與「11,700 個夜晚」的連續性連結起來。真是無聊至極的用法，但你們這些低等生物似乎很需要它。
