Villagers begin to 26 their belief that the children all have “one mind.”
答案：(A) express
express one's belief 是「表達某人的看法」，村民開始說出他們認為孩子們共有「一個心智」的想法；wonder 後面須接 wh- 子句不接 belief，select（挑選）與 ignore（忽視）都與下文矛盾。
答對率 34%。程度好與程度弱的人一起猜，代表這個字大家都沒把握。
express 你腦中的第一印象大概是快遞（express mail）或特快車（an express train），動詞「表達」雖然學過，卻因為前者印象太強而想不起來。
express ＝ ex-（向外）＋ press（壓）。把想法往外壓出來就是「表達」，把貨物快速送出去就是「快遞」。同族還有 expression（表達、表情）、expressive（富有表現力的）。
前一句 What one child learns is also known by the others instantly.（一個孩子學到的，其他孩子立刻也知道）是村民親眼看到的現象，本句是他們的反應——先看到，才開始說出自己的看法。填 ignore（忽視）與「開始有這種想法」自相矛盾。
express one's belief／opinion（表達看法／意見）、an express train（特快車）、facial expression（表情）、wonder if／why…（納悶是否／為何…）。
