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.

當我們在描述一個器官的運作能力，從原本的 100% 變成了 80% 的狀態時，你會用哪個詞來形容這種「能力逐漸減弱、走下坡」的趨勢，而不是指這個器官「做錯了某件事」？

哇！你答對了耶！真是太棒了，叮咚！
- 觀念驗證：這題考驗的是，在醫學世界裡，我們怎麼精準地描述身體狀況。Ngoc先生的肝功能只是「輕微地」有點不好，就像一個東西舊了，自然會有點「退步」或「下降」一樣。這時候，用 decline 就最符合了！它專門用來形容那種漸漸變差的感覺，比如功能、品質或分數。你想想看，「fault」或「mistake」通常是人犯了錯才會用的詞，器官自己可不會「犯錯」對吧？你分清楚了，真聰明！
- 難度點評：這題是中等難度喔！它就是要看看你能不能分辨出「東西自然變差」和「人為錯誤」這兩種不同的狀況。不過你答對了，表示你很會觀察這些細微的地方呢！鏘鏘——！我從口袋裡拿出了一朵『滿分花』，貼在你身上！這樣你就會充滿自信，下次遇到這種題型也能輕鬆應對囉！繼續加油喔！
