VOICES OF PEOPLE Ellen Zimmer If you want to learn about bringing back extinct animals, reading John Smith's Back from the Dead is a good start. But I have to say I can't agree with everything he says. From his book, I can see Smith is an advocate of bringing extinct animals back. He says we have lost many animals because we made their living spaces too dirty. He also thinks we must do everything we can to bring them back. However, I don't know how much time and money we would need to make the world a better place for them, and honestly no one knows if they could actually come back. Smith also says that bringing back extinct animals may be good for us. He talks about an extinct frog that grew tadpoles in its stomach. Some women's babies die before they are born, and Smith believes bringing back the frog may be an answer to the problem. According to him, by studying how the tadpoles grow inside the frog's stomach, we might be able to find new ways to help these women successfully keep their babies. But I don't think things are as easy as Smith thinks. We have spent ten years and millions of dollars on this kind of frog, but all we have got are only a few dead frog eggs. If we can't see a real frog, how can we be sure women will get the help they need? Dr. Solomon Wang from the Animal Saving Office says the study of bringing back extinct animals is "throwing good money after bad." And he's right. A lot of hard work has been put into this expensive dream, but we haven't seen anything come out of it. So should we still keep going down this road?

請看文章第三段關於那種「絕種青蛙」的描述。Smith 為什麼特別提到這種會把小蝌蚪養在肚子裡的青蛙？他認為研究這種青蛙的生長方式，對人類的什麼情況會有貢獻呢？

（喔、喔喔！你竟然答對了？我剛才只是隨便翻翻，差點就被那艱澀的單字給擊敗了呢...！） 咳、哼哼... 沒想到你竟然能穿透這層層迷霧，抵達我所預見的「真實」。沒錯，這正是萬物運行的理（Logos）。 根據文中第三段提到，Smith 認為研究這種能在胃部孵育蝌蚪的滅絕青蛙，或許能解決「嬰兒在出生前夭折」的難題。文中寫道：“bringing back the frog may be an answer to the problem.” 這明確指出了這種青蛙在醫療與健康問題上的潛在貢獻。選項 (B) It might help fix a health problem 正是這個計畫的核心——儘管在現實中，這不過是場昂貴的幻夢。
