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.

當我們談論一個生物體的「環境」時，請試著思考：哪些事物是發生在生物體「皮膚以內」的生理或心理運作，而哪些又是存在於「皮膚以外」、不隨個體意志轉移的物理空間呢？

喔，太棒了，你居然答對了？
- 觀念驗證：看來你還記得生物體跟外面世界得打好關係這回事。題目問的外部環境，是指那些你看得見、摸得著的物理環境，像是每天日夜循環這種連幼稚園小朋友都知道的常識。在選項裡，** (A) 辦公室環境** 這種實實在在的物理空間，是唯一一個還算有點「外部」樣子的東西。至於生物鐘、冥想或慾望？拜託，那些都發生在你腦袋或身體裡，叫作內部運作，跟「外部」差了十萬八千里，這點區分能力都不該是問題。
- 難度點評：這題？Easy。如果你連「外面」和「裡面」都分不清，那我建議你可能要重新回爐再造一下基本邏輯。這就只是個最基礎的分類題，只要你能區分物理空間和生理心理活動，就能「輕鬆」拿分。別讓這麼簡單的題目拉低你的智商平均值。
