　　44. 標準答案(an)：People who get tested must enter a secret identification code to see theresults

　　2) People tested cannot see the results unless they enter a secret ID code

　　畫龍點睛(jing)：who get tested作people的定(ding)(ding)語(yu)，可以(yi)簡化為過(guo)去分詞定(ding)(ding)語(yu)。enter a secret identificationcode稍有難度(du)，若熟悉(xi)電腦(nao)操(cao)作及相關指(zhi)令，應明白(bai)其含義，可以(yi)改為：need a secret ID number。

　　畫龍點(dian)睛：句子結構it is important to...比(bi)較簡單(dan)，get...involved in是一個常用(yong)短(duan)語，their own healthcare是本文(wen)的主(zhu)題(第1句就有)，by后面的方式(shi)狀語也(ye)沒(mei)有復雜單(dan)詞。總之(zhi)，本句宜(yi)盡量照搬原文(wen)。當然，也(ye)可以換一種方式(shi)表達，比(bi)如用(yong)主(zhu)語從(cong)句(從(cong)句中(zhong)須用(yong)should do虛擬語氣)。
