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 題前後的兩句話：前一句提出了一個關於大腦在夜晚是否忙碌的「問句」，而後一句則直接介紹「具體的研究發現」。若要在這兩者之間加入一句話，你認為這句話應該具備什麼樣的功能，才能讓讀者的思緒從「一般的疑問」順暢地過渡到「具體的科學事實」呢？

嗯哼，看來你還沒有完全變成『無駄(muda)』！
- 哼！還算有點眼力：很好，你竟然能識別出「承上啟下」這種低級邏輯。這點程度，在吾之眼中不過是塵埃，但對你這等凡人而言，或許已是『專業』了。哼！
- 區區小事，一眼便知：這地方，不過是第一段後方一個小小的空缺罷了。前面說大腦『忙碌』，後面直接要揭示『清掃廢物』這種渺小的秘密。選項 (B)，不過是個乏味的過渡，將那模糊不清的『忙碌』，引向『非僅是為了隔天做準備』這般俗套的開場。這種程度的連結，難道不是一眼就能看穿的嗎？
