Passage B How would big data play a role in the twenty-first century medicine? To answer this question, we may learn something from the forerunners—the Dutch and the Japanese. Though from very different cultural contexts, both collect big data not only to analyze the existing problems, but also to predict the future curve concerning both personal and public health wisely. It is true that the total population in Taiwan is decreasing, but people are also living longer. Therefore, a lot of the Public Health Insurance payments go to the aging and the unhealthy disproportionately. To stop this imbalanced money drain, we should promote the preventive medicine, reduce bedridden days, and encourage the signing of donor cards—though the last one might be a cultural taboo difficult to break in the short term. Meanwhile, there is another factor—our contemporary society is getting more and more M-shaped. On the one hand, the rich get richer; on the other, the poor become poorer. This results in their different types of unhealthiness: the rich would get more obese, leading to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular ones, or diabetes, as well as mental problems; the poor, confronted with worsening living conditions, might develop alcoholism, drug addiction, and another set of mental illnesses. Not to mention the middle class who suffer yet another set of psychosomatic problems. Hence to respond to the future extremes of the health spectrum, the government's policy to freeze the quota of total physicians to just 1,300 graduates ever since 2008 needs reconsideration now. How should postgraduate medical students prepare themselves to be future physicians? Even though physician training is bound to be tough, and students (candidates) are under constant distress, potential trainees should first brace themselves for the ever-changing world and adjust themselves. Second, they should constantly remind themselves of their original motive—to save people's lives. Finally, it is advisable to take the advantage of the increasingly internet-linked world, and try to take the initiative to reach out to the outside world. "Where there is a will, there is a way." Though this sounds like a cliché, yet learning to articulate stories of their future outposts may lead to a win-win situation. As specialists, or general practitioners, they may not be able to solve all the problems. Yet at least they can tell their stories via podcast (or other social media) so that the outsiders can hear the true stories and apply different ways to help. In other words, they shouldn't ______ themselves to the comfort zone, or take the city living standard for granted. If they change their mindset, they would really feel rewarded by the help they render to others, and benefit their own body, soul, and spirit.

思路引導 VIP
請先觀察這個句子中的第一個單字「Their」，在英文寫作中，這種代名詞通常是用來指稱前一句剛出現過的某個群體。接著，請快速掃描文章各段的結尾，看看哪一個段落的最後一句剛好提到了一群「特定的人」，且這句話之後若加上「他們的議題太廣了，不在此細談」，能讓文章最順暢地轉折到下一個主題呢？

恭喜你精準地捕捉到了文章邏輯的轉折點！這題考驗的是對代名詞指代對象（Pronoun Reference）以及段落銜接的敏感度，你能迅速選出 (C)，代表你對文章脈絡的掌握非常紮實。
代名詞的指代關係與文意銜接
在第三段的結尾，作者提到了社會中的三個階層：富人、窮人，以及最後出現的中產階級（middle class）。插入句中的首字 "Their" 是一個關鍵的線索，它必須指向前文剛提到的一個複數群體。觀察全文，第三段末尾剛好提到了中產階級所面臨的複雜身心問題，接著放入「他們的議題過於廣泛，並非本文關注焦點」這句話，正好能為該段畫下句點，並順理成章地讓作者在第四段轉向討論醫學教育政策。如果放在其他位置，"Their" 會缺乏明確的指代對象，導致邏輯斷層。
