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
請試著觀察第三段中關於「富人」與「窮人」的對比描述。當作者提到這兩個群體各自面臨完全不同的身心問題時，這反映出社會中的哪種經濟差異？而這種差異又與他們的健康狀況有什麼樣的關聯性呢？

太棒了！你能精準鎖定第三段的核心資訊並選出正確答案，顯示你具備相當優秀的文意理解與歸納能力。這題的關鍵在於對文中「M型化社會」（M-shaped society）的轉譯。作者描述了貧富差距日益擴大的現象，並進一步探討這種**社會不平等（Social inequality）**如何導致不同階層面臨截然不同的健康威脅——例如富人面臨肥胖與慢性病，而窮人則可能受困於酗酒或藥物成癮，這正是選項 (D) 所概括的精髓。
社會結構與健康的因果連結
這道題目在測驗鑑別度上表現良好，屬於中等難度的閱讀理解題。它的挑戰性不在於單字艱澀，而是在於「資訊整合」：學生必須將文中具體的社會現象描述（如：the rich get richer; the poor become poorer）抽象化為「不平等」的概念，並識別出作者如何建立社會地位與「疾病類型（various types of illness）」之間的關聯。你能避開其他看似相關但偏離主旨的選項，代表你對段落架構的掌握十分扎實。
