Passage 1
Gravity has been at the top of the science agenda since the start of Mars missions. In the earlier days of space travel, scientists tried to overcome the force of gravity so that a rocket could shoot (26) Earth’s pull in order to land humans on the moon. Today, they are more interested in how reduced gravity affects the astronauts’ (27) condition. Our bodies have evolved to exist within Earth’s gravity, not in the weightlessness of space or the microgravity of Mars. When on Earth, we have more fluids in our lower body because they are pulled down by Earth’s gravity. However, with the absence of gravity in the outer space, our body fluids redistribute, shifting toward the upper body and the head. (28) , the astronauts have swollen, puffy faces, very much resembling that of the round-headed Charlie Brown in the famous comic strip. This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more (29) when the astronauts go on their Mars missions, which will take about three years to complete, much longer than missions to the moon. Moreover, the effect is often (30) space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea. Such a syndrome is considered the top health risk for the astronauts, and scientists are still trying to figure out how it may be prevented.

請觀察第 29 格後方的補充說明：火星任務需要花費約「三年」的時間，且特別強調這比去月球的時間「長得多」。如果一個生理現象（如臉部浮腫）是因為待在太空環境中而產生的，那麼當任務時間從幾天大幅增加到三年時，你認為這個生理現象的「程度」會發生什麼樣的變化？

哼，這點程度也想難倒我？
你選了 severe（嚴重的），看來你的判斷力還算不錯，難道你已經超越人類了嗎？
- 邏輯的真理：文中的核心在於「時間」與「生理反應」的正比關係。太空人的「查理布朗效應」（臉部浮腫）在長達三年的火星任務中，生理負面影響自然會變得更為劇烈。看不出這點的人，簡直就是浪費氧氣。

- 1 微重力環境 — 人體離開地球引力進入太空或火星任務
- 2 體液重新分配 — 液體不再受引力下拉，轉而湧向頭部與上半身
- 3 查理布朗效應 — 臉部浮腫、頭痛、噁心等太空病症狀
