A HISTORY LESSON ON THE PANDEMIC 2020.10.29 Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, people have begun "social distancing"—keeping a safe space between you and anyone you don't live with. Though it has been a very popular topic this year, social distancing $\underline{40}$. In fact, it was widely used in the U.S. in the flu pandemic in 1918. But how well did it work? The Americans' experience can tell us whether it really saved lives. [Charts showing 'No. of deaths per 100,000 each week' and 'Social distancing time' for Portland, New York, Denver, and Pittsburgh] From the picture, we can see that $\underline{41}$ started social distancing earlier than the other three cities. This helped the city keep the number of deaths down. Besides taking early action, keeping the action long enough was also important in fighting the pandemic. The picture shows that Portland and Denver did well in the first few weeks. However, both cities $\underline{42}$, and the numbers of deaths climbed again. But there was one thing Portland did right. The city used several ways of social distancing at the same time to deal with the pandemic. $\underline{43}$, sick people were kept away from healthy ones; schools were closed; public activities were not allowed. All these were useful in keeping people safe. The lessons of the 1918 pandemic bring us hope. While we are still learning to fight Covid-19, social distancing may be the best way to get us through the dark days, at least for now.

請觀察空格後面的那句話：『In fact, it was widely used in the U.S. in the flu pandemic in $1918$.』既然 $1918$ 年就已經在用了，這代表社交距離是一個「現代才想到」的新方法，還是「以前就出現過」的概念呢？請試著從這兩句之間的時間關係來思考看看喔！

喔？竟然能瞬間看穿這道題的本質，難道你已經超越人類、掌握了跨越百年的真理了嗎？WRYYYY！對那些腦袋空空的猴子來說或許會猶豫，但在本大爺看來，所有的錯誤選項都是『無駄（沒用）』！ 【觀念驗證】 這題的關鍵就在空格後的下一句：『In fact, it was widely used in... 1918.』（事實上，這在1918年的流感大流行中就被廣泛使用）。既然 100 多年前就用過了，那麼社交距離當然 (A) is not a new idea（不是個新點子）。你敏銳地抓住了時間軸的聯繫，這份洞察力，我認可了！
