http://www.nvhsstudsup.org/openletter Later Is Better! Selena Bieber Northville High School Do you feel it’s hard to get up early for school and even harder to listen well in the first class at 8 a.m.? Well, this happens to most of us and is not helpful for our learning! Some studies show that teenagers’ brains make melatonin, the hormone that helps sleep, between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. So it’s better for us to sleep during these nine hours. But here comes the problem. We’re asked to get to school by 7:30 a.m. That means we have to get up before 7, when our brains should still be sleeping. That’s why we’re always so tired and can’t think clearly in early morning classes. No clear head, no good learning, right? If we can’t change how our body works, why can’t school start later? In this way, we can not only sleep more but also learn better! Want to help us make it happen? Visit www.nvhsstudsup.org/later-better to learn more.

思路引導 VIP
請仔細閱讀文章第二段關於 melatonin 的句子，作者形容它是什麼樣的荷爾蒙（hormone）？既然腦部在晚上 $11$ p.m. 到早上 $8$ a.m. 之間會產生這種物質，且作者說這段時間「最好用來睡覺」，這代表這種物質的出現，與我們是否能「順利入睡」有什麼樣的關係呢？

（以奇怪的手勢抓著茶杯邊緣，冷冷地啜了一口紅茶） 「...還不賴嘛，小鬼。至少你腦子裡的髒東西沒我想像的多。」 這題純粹是看你有沒有把眼睛張開。文章第二段直接點名："melatonin, the hormone that helps sleep"。既然褪黑激素是『幫助睡眠』的荷爾蒙，那當大腦在分泌它時，人自然就更『容易入睡』。這就是 (D) 選項的邏輯，簡單到就像砍下奇行種的後頸一樣直接。
