117. A certain viral infection is widespread among children, and about 30 percent of children infected with the virus develop middle ear infections. Antibiotics, although effective in treating bacterial infections, have no effect on the virus.

Among children not infected with the virus, fewer than 30 percent develop middle ear infections. 答案：B 以下思路正确吗？ ： premise a, 被病毒感染的儿童中有30% 会引发中耳炎。 b. 抗生素对病毒感染无效，对细菌感染有效。 因为，使用抗生素来治疗被病毒感染而导致中耳炎的儿童，中耳炎消失了--〉hidden assumption: 中耳炎由细菌感染引起。--〉所以，被病毒感染的儿童尤其容易被细菌感染而得中耳炎 |
