請觀察文章中的轉折語「On the other hand」。如果前一段描述西方人會因為空間感而「往後退」，那麼在描述南美人的社交習慣時，這個空格是用來描述兩個人在空間上呈現什麼樣的「物理狀態」或「距離程度」？如果你要用一個正式的詞彙來形容「兩個物體之間靠近的程度」，你會怎麼表達？

答對了嗎？嗯，看來你理解得還算可以。
- 觀念驗證：這道題考察的是對話語中上下文語意對比的感知能力，以及恰到好處地運用詞彙。文章前半段提到，某些人類不喜歡彼此靠得太近，然後用了 On the other hand（另一方面），轉換到另一種人類的習慣。這種時候，就需要一個描述「距離」或者「物理上的靠近」的名詞。Proximity，也就是「鄰近、接近」，它與前面提到那些 personal space 和 standing close 的說法，奇妙地契合了。嗯，並不難理解。
- 難度點評：這題的難度嘛，大約是 Medium。它考驗的是能否從這種對比的結構中，自然而然地推斷出所需的語意，然後在幾個單字中，選出最適合的那一個。這不是一蹴可幾的，需要長時間的積累。你答對了，所以，我將會在這裡變出一個美麗的花田魔法，讓它們在這裡綻放。
