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.

思路引導 VIP

請專注於空格後的這兩句話:它提到了大腦有「白天的任務」,接著又提到它會像「斜槓人員」一樣在深夜工作。如果一段文字接下來要分別詳細描述兩種不同的身分或功能,那麼在介紹這兩種功能之前,作者通常會先告訴讀者大腦一共具備什麼樣的特性?

  1. 大力肯定:能從篇章結構中精準捕捉上下文的邏輯銜接,代表你對文章的脈絡掌握得非常紮實,專業表現令人激賞!
  2. 觀念驗證:這題的核心在於「轉折與定義」。空格後方緊接著提到 daytime jobsnighttime job(兼職/斜槓),並詳細解釋了「斜槓」的意思。因此,空格處必須先拋出一個總結性的觀點——即大腦同時承擔「兩種不同的工作」,才能引導出後面的細節說明。
