📖 題組:
Being hit by lightning is a rare event. Over the course of an 80-year life span, the odds of being hit by lightning are 1 in 3,000, $\underline{ 21 }$ the probability of being struck seven different times. Roy Sullivan, a park ranger in the United States, was struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being. Over his 36-year career, Sullivan was struck by lightning seven times—and $\underline{ 22 }$ each shock! Strikes one, two, and three were pure bad luck, he thought. But after strike four, Sullivan became $\underline{ 23 }$ death and took precautions during lightning strikes. Strike five occurred in 1973 when Sullivan was on patrol. A storm cloud “chased” him until he was struck. The same thing happened again in 1976. Sullivan, while surveying a campground, felt that a cloud was $\underline{ 24 }$ him, and tried all he could to run—but it got him anyway. Finally, on $\underline{ 25 }$ June 1977, a seventh and final bolt struck Sullivan as he was fishing in a pond. “I don’t believe God is after me,” he theorized. “If he was, the first bolt 25 enough. Best I can figure is that I have some chemical, some mineral, in my body that draws lightning. I just wish I knew.”

請分析 Sullivan 在第四次雷擊後「took precautions」(採取預防措施) 的行為動機:根據文意脈絡,一個人在經歷多次生命威脅後對「death」(死亡) 產生了何種心理狀態,才會促使其產生後續的防禦性保護行為?
