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.

- A They also found that during sleep, the brain’s cells shrink, or become smaller.
- B While we sleep, our brains are doing much more than getting ready for the next day.
- C She said the results demonstrate just how important sleep is to health and fighting disease.
- D The brain expert says our brains perform two very different jobs.

請觀察空格後方的最後一句話，它提到了「治療或對抗神經系統疾病」。若要讓文章邏輯通順，你認為空格處應該補充什麼樣的結論，才能將「目前的科學發現」與「未來的醫療應用」自然地串聯起來呢？

太棒了！你真的很細心喔！
- 觀念解析：恭喜你，這題你掌握得非常好！它考驗的是我們在閱讀時能否找到句子間的「段落銜接」。你看，前一句提到 Dr. Nedergaard 計畫研究人類大腦，而後一句則是關於治療神經疾病。這時候，選項 (C) 的「對抗疾病」是不是很自然地就和後面的 neurological disorders 連接起來了呢？而且，「She」這個代名詞也溫柔地指回了博士，讓整段話的邏輯變得非常完整和流暢。你做得真棒！
- 小助教悄悄話：這題的難度是Medium，但你克服得很好！它需要我們不僅理解句子的意思，還要特別留意「代名詞指代」以及「前後語意的連貫性」。能夠在這些科學敘述中找到最恰當的連結，真的展現了你的細心和智慧。請繼續保持這份對學習的熱情喔！我為你感到驕傲！
