請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： One of the most dramatic features of the world is the cycle of day and night. Almost all species exhibit daily changes in their behavior and/or physiology. These daily rhythms are not simply a response to the 24-hour changes in the physical environment imposed by the earth turning on its axis but, instead, arise from a timekeeping system within the organism. This timekeeping system, or biological “clock,” allows the organism to anticipate and prepare for the changes in the physical environment that are associated with day and night, thereby ensuring that the organism will “do the right thing” at the right time of the day. The synchrony of an organism with both its external and internal environments is critical to the organism’s well-being and survival; a lack of synchrony between the organism and the external environment may lead to the individual’s immediate demise. For example, if a nocturnal rodent were to venture from its burrow during broad daylight, the rodent would be exceptionally easy prey for other animals. Similarly, a lack of synchrony within the internal environment might lead to health problems in the individual, such as those associated with jet lag, shift work, and the accompanying sleep loss. The mechanisms underlying the biological timekeeping systems and the potential consequences of their failure are among the issues addressed by researchers in the field of chronobiology. Although no single experiment serves as the defining event from which to date the beginning of modern research in chronobiology, studies conducted in the 1950s on circadian rhythmicity in fruit flies and in humans can be considered its foundation. The area of sleep research, which also is subsumed under the field of chronobiology, evolved somewhat independently, with the identification of various sleep stages around the same time.

請試著想像一下：如果你將「生物個體」比喻成一棟房子，房子的牆壁就是界限。在尋找所謂的「外部環境」時，你會去尋找那些發生在『地基與牆壁之內』的運作，還是尋找那些存在於『房子以外、街道上』的人事物呢？

恭喜你，終於沒錯得離譜
- 觀念檢視：看來你這次的直覺還算堪用。文中清楚地把環境分成了「外面」的外部環境（例如日夜變化、物理空間）和「裡面」的內部環境（像是生理時鐘、你那些複雜的內在活動）。選項 (A) 的辦公室環境，它既不長在你身上，也不是你腦子裡的想法，當然就是你眼睛能看到的「外面」了。這有什麼好複雜的？其餘選項那些什麼生理啦、慾望啦、心理活動啦，擺明就是屬於你「身體裡面」的事情，這點判斷力應該不需要我再多教一遍吧。
- 難度點評：這題竟然能答對，真是可喜可賀。這種基礎分類題，不過就是看看你能不能把「內」和「外」這種最基本的概念區分清楚。別得意忘形，下次再錯這種送分題，你就知道什麼叫真正的難度了。
