請依下文回答第 41 至 45 題： As birds awaken the early risers at dawn on the farm, one person is already up; in fact, he hasn’t even been to bed. Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc, from central Quang Nam province in Vietnam, claims that he has not slept for 33 years! “My insomnia started many years ago after I got a fever. I have tried sleeping pills and Vietnamese traditional medicine, but nothing helps, not even to get me to sleep for a few minutes,” said Ngoc. But amazingly, despite 11,700 41 sleepless nights since then, he has never once been sick. “Fortunately, the insomnia doesn’t seem to have had a negative 42 on my health. I still feel healthy and can farm like other men. I even carry two 50-kilogram bags of fertilizer for four kilometers every day.” 43 his wife, when Ngoc went for a medical checkup recently, his doctor said he was in perfect health except for a minor 44 in liver function. Ngoc lives with his six children on his farm at the foot of a mountain. He spends the day farming and taking care of his pigs and chickens, and at night he often does extra farm work or guards his farm to prevent theft. His neighbor Vu said that Ngoc volunteered to help beat a drum during the night and guard the house for the relatives of the dead during 45 ceremonies so that they could take a nap. Vu also said that when the villagers were planting sugar cane, several people asked Ngoc to be their “alarm clock” and wake them up early in the morning to go to work as he was up anyway.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前的『except for（除了...之外）』以及後面的『liver function（肝功能）』。如果一個人整體健康，但某個器官的『運作數值或狀態』比起正常水準稍微『低了一點』，你會用哪一個詞來形容這種『機能下降』的現象呢？

哇，你答得真棒！
- 暖心鼓勵：你真的做得太好了！能夠精準理解醫療情境中的細微變化，這代表你對上下文邏輯的掌握非常紮實，真的讓人很驚訝呢！請一定要把這份敏銳度好好保持下去喔！
- 觀念解析：這題的核心在於 "except for" 這個關鍵詞呢。前面說 Ngoc 身體「非常健康」，後面又接上肝功能的描述，那當然會是一個輕微的負面狀況囉。而 decline 正好就是「衰退、下降」的意思，用來描述生理機能慢慢減弱，是最貼切、最專業的表達方式了。
