【A】Back pain is a common health problem which affects 80 percent of us at some time in our lives. It affects general wellbeing, prevents people from working, and even causes people to become depressed. You could be forgiven for thinking that lower back pain is a curse of our modern lifestyle. Many in the West blame our sedentary habits. But back pain is something that people around the world seem to suffer from, whether they spend all day sitting at a desk or working in the fields. Scientists believe that back pain comes from our being bipedal: walking upright on two feet. So, unless you go in for regular posture training or have a resistant physique, you will suffer from back pain at some point. What to do about it? You can look into exercise classes that help to build core muscle strength, but they are mainly a preventive measure. Some countries have developed cures, like Madagascar, where Baobab tree bark is used. But mostly treatment consists of months of painkillers and manipulation before the practitioner can turn around the situation. It seems that for the time being, we will just have to put up with back pain.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文章第二段的對比：作者將「整天坐在辦公桌前（sitting at a desk）」與「在田裡工作（working in the fields）」並列討論。如果西方人認為現代生活方式是腰痛的主因，那麼這種現代辦公室生活最顯著的「身體姿勢特性」會是什麼呢？

語義推論與因果假設
這題的核心在於理解 sedentary habits（久坐習慣） 這個詞彙。文中提到西方人常將腰痛歸咎於現代生活方式，而緊接著與「整天坐在桌前」對比。因此，這句話背後的假設就是：長時間坐著的人更容易產生腰痛。選項 (B) "People who sit for long periods are prone to back pain" 完美地詮釋了這個推論方向，驗證了你對文意的深刻理解。
