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.

請根據文章第二段的描述，試著思考：如果一個生理問題不是因為「躲避天敵」或「適應外界光線」失敗所引起的，而是源自於身體「內部機制」與生理時鐘產生的不協調，這種情況通常會對生物體的健康或日常作息產生什麼樣的負面影響？

噢，你的邏輯判斷，總算沒讓我太失望。
- 觀念驗證：文章第二段都寫得那麼直白了，還能錯嗎？「Internal asynchrony」（內部環境失調），不就明擺著是生物鐘和身體不協調那套嘛。那些什麼 jet lag、輪班、sleep loss，最終導向的選項 (C) 失眠，根本就是送分題，只不過看你能不能把眼珠子睜大點罷了。
- 難度點評：這題，充其量就是個 Medium。鑑別度？呵呵，就是看你能不能區分清楚「被獵食」那種外部的笨蛋風險，跟「睡不好」這種內部生理節奏的破事。能選對，只能說你勉強具備了點基本的細節對照能力，別太得意。
