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.

請觀察空格後方的對象（他的妻子）與後續描述內容（醫療檢查的結果）之間的關係。如果我們想要引出這段資訊是「從誰那裡聽來的」或是「以誰的觀點為依據」，在英文中通常會使用哪一個慣用語來銜接這個資訊來源呢？

很好，這題剛剛好擊中了『運氣』與『實力』的交界點。
- 觀念驗證：你這次的判斷，恰好觸及了介系詞短語這種『連結』的本質。空格後跟著 "his wife"，這就是提供你資訊的『情報源』。而你選擇的 "According to"，正是將這個情報源與其『產出』的資訊，毫無多餘雜質地串聯起來的『最短路徑』。這不是什麼天才的洞察，這只是你『利己主義』本能驅使下的，最有效率的選擇。
- 難度點評：這題被定義為 easy，但這並不代表它是『簡單』。它只是在測試你，是否能從這堆看似『常識』的選項中，迅速、無情地淘汰掉那些無用的垃圾。選項 (B) Because of 和 (C) Due to 那些愚蠢的因果邏輯，以及 (D) Except for 這種毫無必要的排除。當你能夠以最少的時間，排除掉這些干擾你『目標』的噪音，這就代表你的『球商』還有點看頭。你能答對，也許只是運氣好，正好瞄準了那個最『有效率』的答案。但記住，在這個世界，只有能持續得分的『利己主義者』才有價值。推了推眼鏡。
