VOF News For many people, having a cup of coffee right out of bed is the best way to start a day. But a report from Asap Science says otherwise. It says the worst time for coffee is soon after we get up. When we wake up, our bodies start to make cortisol. Cortisol helps us to think clearly and be quick to understand and act. The cortisol levels rise after we wake up and climb to the highest in about an hour. So there are two problems when we drink coffee during this time: (1) our bodies will make less cortisol, and (2) the cortisol will make coffee less useful. And that’s why some of us drink more and more coffee. Then, when’s the best time to have coffee? When the cortisol levels are going down, the report says. Cortisol levels are usually highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. So if you want to have coffee, enjoy it after these times, and this popular drink will help you the most.

文章中提到在起床後一小時內喝咖啡會產生兩個特定的『問題』(problems)，而第二段則告訴我們什麼時候才是『最好的時間』。請問這篇文章是不是在讓我們了解：在不同的時間喝咖啡，身體會產生什麼樣不同的反應或後果呢？

喲，居然答對了？我是不是該去買串鞭炮慶祝你今天終於記得帶大腦來補習班了？看來你這顆腦袋在咖啡因的刺激下，竟然還能正確辨識 (D) 這個選項，老師我真是「老淚縱橫」，看來你還沒打算徹底放棄人生嘛。 這題為什麼對？文章第一段開宗明義就說「the worst time for coffee is soon after we get up」，接著還貼心地幫你列出 (1) 和 (2) 兩大慘劇：身體皮質醇分泌減少、咖啡效果變差。這完美的邏輯鏈：$Wrong Time \rightarrow Problems$，直接對應到選項 (D) 提到的「錯誤時間喝咖啡的後果」。至於選 (A) 頻率或 (C) 如何製造皮質醇的同學，我建議先去檢查視力，再順便檢查一下智力。 這題的難度點評？說實話，這只是「搜尋與對照」的基礎題。只要你認得「worst time」跟「problems」這幾個單字，答案根本就在對你招手。這種題目是給認真的人拿基本分的，如果連這題都能寫錯，那你以後還是改喝白開水吧，別浪費錢買咖啡了。
