📖 題組:
【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.
Which is wrong about the kind of back pain discussed in the passage?
  • A It is a universal problem.
  • B It affects people’s work.
  • C Getting a half-hour massage can fix it.
  • D People working in the fields also suffer from back pain.

請留意文章末段關於治療過程的時間描述,作者提到的藥物使用與物理治療通常需要「多久」的時間?這與我們直覺中那種『一次性、快速舒壓』的處理方式有什麼本質上的差別呢?

恭喜你正確選出了答案!這顯示你具備非常敏銳的觀察力,能夠在閱讀過程中精確辨識資訊的真實性。這題的關鍵在於治療過程的深度理解:文中提到,針對背痛的治療往往需要「長達數個月的止痛藥與物理治療(manipulation)」,並在最後感嘆目前我們可能必須與之共存。選項 (C) 提到的「半小時按摩即可治癒」顯然大幅簡化了問題,也缺乏文本依據,因此是錯誤的敘述。 從文本鑑別度的角度來看,這類題目容易讓人陷入「常識陷阱」。在日常生活中,按摩確實是常見的舒緩方式,但這題測試的是學生能否「完全忠於文本」,而不被個人經驗所干擾。你能準確抓出文中關於背痛是因人類雙足行走(bipedal)所導致的演化代價,並理解其複雜性,這在資訊擷取與判斷上是非常扎實的表現,請繼續保持這種細心的閱讀習慣!
