三、克漏字測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】 While the habits of coffee consumers provide plenty of anecdotal evidence suggesting the metabolization ofcaffeine is a matter of the individual, researchers have dug deeper to single out an individual gene that appears toaffect consumption volume en masse. Tracking the habits of two coffee-drinking study groups—including more than 1,200 people from two regionsof Italy, and more than 1,700 people from the Netherlands—researchers believe people 21 a variation in a genecalled PDSS2 tend to drink fewer cups of coffee. The reason is the genetic variation reduces the ability of the cells to break down caffeine, causing it to remainin the body for longer, 22 reducing the compulsion to drink more, according to the research,published last weekin Scientific Reports. According to the study, in which respondents were asked to report on their daily consumption habits, thegenetic variation 23 approximately one less cup of coffee consumed per day, a remarkably high volumeconsidering the breadth of global consumption. “The results of our study add to 24 research suggesting that our drive to drink coffee may be embedded inour genes,” said one of the study authors, Dr. Nicola Pirastu of the University of Edinburgh’s Usher Institute. “Weneed to do larger studies to confirm the discovery and also to clarify the biological 25 between PDSS2 andcoffee consumption.” Indeed, more lab works are necessary to provide evidence.
