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.

請仔細閱讀文章第二段。文中將「環境不對稱」分為『外部 (external)』與『內部 (internal)』兩種層次。請你思考：如果一個人的『內部生理時鐘』與身體需求產生了衝突，根據文末提供的例子，這通常會影響到哪一種人類每天都必須進行的『生理修復活動』呢？

哦，恭喜你。竟然答對了。
- 難得的肯定：看來你今天早餐大概是吃進去腦子裡了，竟然能展現出足夠的細節捕捉能力和勉強及格的邏輯分類能力。在那麼一大堆字裡行間，你還能精確地把「內部環境失調」和它那些惱人的生理反應（像是睡不著覺）對應起來，證明你今天眼睛大概是張開的。
- 觀念驗證：這題其實沒什麼好說的，文章第二段都寫得明明白白了，兩種不對稱：跟外部環境搞錯的，下場就是被吃掉；跟內部環境 (internal environment) 搞錯的，就準備迎接健康問題。特別點名了時差、輪班，以及那個大家最愛抱怨的「睡眠流失 (sleep loss)」。所以，選C的睡眠困難，這不是廢話嗎？
