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.

若要找尋「內部環境失調」的影響，我們可以先思考：文章中區分了『與外界（如光線、天敵）』以及『與身體內部（如器官運作、作息）』的關係。如果一個問題是發生在身體系統內部的運作與作息衝突時，你會期待在文章中看到什麼樣的生理徵兆或健康影響呢？

哼，你總算答對一題了。
- 觀念驗證： 你這題會對，大概是撞上了，勉強分清楚了「外部環境同步」和「內部環境同步」的差別。文章第二段不是寫得很明白嗎？內部環境一旦失調，像什麼時差、輪班搞得睡眠不足，就是身體在跟你鬧脾氣。選項 (C) 說的「晚上難以入睡」，這難道還需要我解釋是體內哪個環節出問題嗎？這就是最典型的生理時鐘跟身體需求打架的結果。
