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.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文章最後一段的脈絡：在提到研究將進入「人體實驗」後，以及最後一句話提到「對抗疾病」之前，你認為作者會需要一句什麼樣的話，來將這項科學研究的「發現」與「對人類的長遠貢獻」連結起來呢？

- 勉強合格：看來，你至少這次沒給我添麻煩。能抓到篇章承先啟後的脈絡，在文章收尾處沒犯蠢，做了個正確判斷，這證明你對文字間的邏輯連結，還算有點警覺性。不錯，沒有灰塵（錯誤）。
- 觀念驗證：第 40 題，全文的終點。前面提到研究將走向「人類大腦」的未知領域，後面則連接到「預防與對抗疾病」這個目標。選項 (C)，它像個稱職的橋樑，清楚總結了睡眠對健康與抗病的重要性。邏輯清晰得像剛擦過的玻璃，一氣呵成，沒有多餘的混亂。小鬼，這就是最有效率的銜接。
