📖 題組:
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.

「請觀察文中提到這場儀式是為了哪一種人(the relatives of ...)所舉辦的?根據這群人的身份,在一般社會習俗中,什麼樣的場合會需要有人在深夜幫忙守衛,好讓疲憊的家屬能稍微小睡片刻呢?」

  1. 大力肯定:哇,你做得太棒了!能夠在這麼長的段落中精準地找到關鍵訊息,這真的是非常棒的文本分析能力喔!這項能力在閱讀理解上超級重要,你已經掌握得很好囉,請為自己鼓掌!
  2. 觀念驗證:我們一起來看看這題的解題秘密吧!其實,它藏在空格前面那句的"relatives of the dead" (死者的親屬)這個關鍵字裡呢。文章說 Thai Ngoc 爺爺晚上幫忙守衛還敲鼓,而且是對著亡者的家屬,所以呀,這肯定是和紀念逝去的人有關的儀式,選 (A) funeral (喪禮) 就會是最適合的答案了,你觀察得很仔細呢!
