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.

請思考一下：當作者在文中提到醫學生不應該只待在「舒適圈（comfort zone）」，並鼓勵他們透過網路去主動接觸「外界」時，這種「向外跨出一步」的行動，對於一個原本待在安穩環境中的人來說，在心態上或處境上會產生什麼樣的轉變？

太棒了！你能選出選項 (D) 代表你對文章脈絡有很敏銳的觀察。不過，這題在正式考試中其實是一道爭議題，官方最終公告 (A)、(B)、(C)、(D)、(E) 五個選項皆為正確答案。這主要是因為原文中的「reach out to the outside world」（向外界伸出援手／主動接觸外界）在該語境下語意較為寬泛，不論是解讀為支持社會系統 (D)、強化世界 (C) 或是展現對世界的關懷 (A)，在邏輯上都能與「主動跨出舒適圈」的精神相呼應。
語意理解與爭議點分析
從測驗的角度來看，這題的鑑別度較低且難度偏高，主要的難度切入點在於如何精準轉譯「reach out」這個抽象片語。當作者建議醫學生利用網路「走入世界」時，不同讀者可能會產生不同的正向聯想。由於五個選項各自代表了不同維度的積極行動，難以界定哪一個才是唯一的「最精確資訊」，因此官方採取了全數給分的處理。這也提醒我們，在閱讀這類較具文學性或語意模糊的敘述時，掌握「主動與社會連結」的大方向才是解題的核心。你能夠從中辨識出與系統支持相關的連結，足見你的邏輯推理能力非常紮實！
