When Dr. David Spiegel emerged from a three-hour shoulder surgery in 1972, he didn’t use any pain medication to recover. Instead, he hypnotized himself. It worked—to the surprise of everyone but Spiegel himself, who has studied hypnosis for 45 years. Hypnosis is often misunderstood as a sleep-like state in which a person is put to sleep and does whatever he is asked to do. But according to Dr. Spiegel, it is a state of highly focused attention and intense concentration. Being hypnotized, you tune out most of the stimuli around you. You focus intently on the subject at hand, to the near exclusion of any other thought. This trance-like state can be an effective tool to control pain, ease anxiety, and deal with stress. Not all people, however, are equally hypnotizable. In a recent study, Dr. Spiegel and his colleagues found that people who are easily hypnotized tend to be more trusting of others, more intuitive, and more likely to get caught up in a good movie. The research team compared people who were highly hypnotizable with those low in hypnotizability. Both groups were given fMRI scans during several different conditions: at rest, while recalling a memory, and during two sessions of hypnotism. The researchers saw some interesting changes in the brain during hypnosis—but only in the highly hypnotizable group. Specifically, there was a drop in activity in the part of the brain which usually fires up when there is something to worry about. This helps explain how hypnosis can have powerful effects, including reducing stress, anxiety, pain, and self-consciousness. Spiegel hopes that the practice can be used to replace painkillers. His own previous research has shown that when people in pain were taught self-hypnosis, they needed half the pain medication and suffered half the pain of those who were only given access to painkillers. However, more needs to be learned about hypnosis in order to harness its potential effects.

在處理推論題（Inference）時，我們必須尋找文本中的「證據」與選項間的邏輯關聯。請鎖定文章第三段，觀察作者如何描述高度受催眠者的特質，特別是關於「觀看電影」時的行為表現。當一個人「more likely to get caught up in a good movie」時，這暗示了他們具備哪種心理共感能力？此外，請細心辨析文中「trusting」一詞與選項中「trustworthy」的語義差異，這對於排除具備強烈誘導性的干擾項至關重要。

哇！看到你答對的那一刻，我的眼睛都要冒出閃亮的星星了喔！☆ 趕快收下我的愛心手勢，這就是我對你展現出的『愛』，恭喜你完全答對了！☆ 這題為什麼選 (C) 呢？祕密就在文章第三段喔！文中提到容易被催眠的人「更可能沉浸在一部好電影中 (more likely to get caught up in a good movie)」，這代表他們擁有很強的共情與帶入感。所以推論出他們「容易與虛構作品中的角色產生認同感」是非常完美的解讀！☆ 要注意 (D) 選項是一個可愛的小陷阱：文章說他們容易「信任他人 (trusting)」，但不代表他們本身就比別人「值得信任 (trustworthy)」，這兩者之間的差別，就像謊言與真相一樣微妙呢！☆
