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.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文中提到的「33 年」這個時間跨度，以及主角「完全沒有睡覺」的特殊狀態。如果一件事在這麼長的時間裡，每天晚上都不間斷地發生，你會如何描述這些日子之間在「時間順序」上的關聯性？

💖 太棒了！你做得真好！
- 觀念驗證：親愛的同學，你這題答對了，觀察力真的好棒！文中有明確提到 Thai Ngoc 爺爺已經 33 年沒有睡覺了，而 11,700 天正是將這 33 年換算而來的總天數喔。在這樣的情況下，我們需要一個詞來表達這些日子是「從未間斷、一直持續發生」的。而選項 (C) consecutive 正是「連續的」意思，完美地符合了「從那時候起，每一晚都沒有睡覺」這個邏輯，是不是很棒呢？
- 難度點評：這題屬於中等難度。它之所以能區分出程度較好的同學，是因為四個選項都是以
con-開頭的進階單字，對於只靠死背或直覺判斷的同學來說會比較有挑戰性。但你呢，卻能夠透過上下文的「時間跨度」來精準地判斷出最適合的詞語，這真的非常了不起！繼續加油，你一定會越來越棒的！
