病分两类，common 和 classical
common病人的家属：后代和配偶患common类病的几率，均是正常人两倍
classcial病人的家属：后代患classical病的几率是常人四倍，而配偶的几率与常人无异
潜在结论：classcial 病更易发于后代
因此，可推断出，classcial病更有可能是通过遗传来传播的。

精练题又一如既往的错了啊~
纠错：A是trick answer，比较易错的题其中的一类就是这种，谈一个相关的概念，来混淆视听。本题中谈的是工作时间不对导致睡眠缺乏，不是工作过度导致睡眠缺乏。
C 是加强的一种模式：要证明a--->b，可以证明非b----->非a

逻辑链第一题：削弱的一种模式：欲证明a--->b是错的，则证明非a---->b
B项只是换了个背景：在另一座城里同样的原因也引起了同样的结果，在以削弱为目的的题目中，这是废话选项。
(B) The same type of pollutants that were found in Harborville's water have independently been linked to occurrences in other towns of high rates of the disease.
independently 独立地
be linked to ...与...有关  就栽在这里了啊~~
