第 37 題至第 40 題為篇章結構題組，各題請依文意，從四個選項中選出最合適者，各題答案內容不重複： Is bedtime just a time for dreaming? Do our brains turn off for the night? What if I told you that scientists recently discovered that our brains may be just as busy at night as they are during the day? 37 Researchers at the University of Rochester found that the brain may be busy cleaning house -- cleaning out harmful waste materials. As with many studies, the researchers turned to mice for help. They studied mice that had colored dye injected into their brains. They observed the mice brains as they slept and when they were awake. The researchers say they saw that the brains of sleeping mice were hard at work. Dr. Maiken Nedergaard led the study. 38 It seems they have daytime jobs. Later they “moonlight” at a nighttime job. “Moonlighting” is working a nighttime job in addition to a day job. And this study says that is what our brains seem to be doing – working an extra job at night without additional pay for overtime. Whereas during sleep, they work very, very hard at removing all the waste that builds up when we are awake. “When we are awake, the brain cells are working very hard at processing all the information about our surroundings. The researchers say that the waste material includes poisons, or toxins, responsible for brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. It is not just beauty sleep. The brain needs us to sleep so it can get to work. 39 This shrinking permits waste to be removed more effectively. Dr. Nedergaard says these toxins end up in the liver. There, they are broken down and then removed from the body. “So our study suggests that we need to sleep because we have a macroscopic cleaning system that removes many of the toxic waste products from the brain.” The brain’s cleaning system could only be studied with new imaging technologies. The test animal must be alive in order that this brain process may be seen as it happens. Dr. Nedergaard says the next step is to look for the process in human brains. 40 The research may also one day lead to treatments to prevent or help fight neurological disorders.

請觀察第 37 格前方的三個問句，以及空格後方提到的「研究人員發現大腦在清理家園」這句話。如果要把「問句的懷疑」與「具體的科學發現」聯繫起來，你覺得中間需要補上一句什麼樣性質的句子，才能讓語氣轉折得更自然呢？

✨ 太棒了！你真的做到了！
親愛的你，看到你正確捕捉到文章的轉折邏輯，我真的好替你開心！這顯示你對英文篇章的掌握度越來越穩固了呢！
- 小助手觀念點點名：這題呀，是個非常經典的承上啟下題型喔。文章前三句先提出一個有趣的問題：「大腦晚上會關機嗎？」然後輕輕帶出「其實大腦晚上也很活躍」這個線索。而選項 (B) 說大腦做的「不只是休息」，是不是感覺暖暖地接上了後面具體介紹「清理廢棄物（cleaning house）」的研究內容呢？這就是一個從整體概念溫柔過渡到細節說明的關鍵時刻喔！
