Recent biological research indicates that there is a biochemical basis to love, which explains why people in love feel as if they were in a more beautiful world. Psychologists such as Dr. Elaine Hatfield, Robert Sternberg and Zick Rubin posit that love consists of three or more stages. The three main stages are lust, attraction, and attachment, while some of the other stages are intimacy, trust, and jealousy. Each stage is ruled or initiated by specific hormonal controllers. In their studies, every love passes through some of these stages and occurs due to the mediation of certain molecules in these specific chemical controllers. Biological research has shown that the hormones dominant in the different phases include testosterone and estrogen (the sexual hormones); dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin (these are the “pleasure chemicals” - the hormones invoking feelings of pleasure and excitement); and oxytocin (the “cuddle chemical” - the hormone producing feelings of attachment to another person). For example, in the second phase of attraction, when people have the feeling of being in love, the little molecule phenylethylamine (known as PEA), controlling the love chemicals dopamine and noreinephrine, can cause feelings of elation, exhilaration and euphoria. People feel excited and fulfilled. Additionally, biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, an expert on romantic love, discusses what happens in the brain when people are in love and proposes that there is a dramatic increase in the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine present in the brain when one first becomes infatuated with another person.

請觀察文章中提到的專家（如生物人類學家、心理學家）以及他們所提到的專有名詞（如 hormones, molecules, biochemical basis），這些專業人士試圖用什麼樣的「視角」或「工具」來解析「愛情」這種感性的行為呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文章的核心觀點，這表示你的閱讀理解與歸納能力相當紮實。這篇文章的主軸在於探討愛情的「生化基礎」（biochemical basis），從心理學家到生物人類學家 Helen Fisher 的研究，都在說明賀爾蒙（如 dopamine、oxytocin）與化學分子（如 PEA）如何驅動愛情的不同階段。因此，選項 (B) 指出科學有助於解釋愛情發生的機制，完全符合整篇文本的研究導向。
科學視角下的愛情機制
這道題目測驗的是學生的「推論與整合能力」。雖然文中出現了許多生澀的生物化學術語，但這正是本題的設計精妙之處：它測試你是否能不被細節（如具體的化學名稱）困住，而能綜觀全局看出作者的寫作意圖。只要你能看出這些術語都是為了支持「用科學方法研究感性情緒」這個大前提，就能輕鬆排除掉其他與文本無關的干擾項。這題屬於中等偏易的題型，是掌握大意題的基本功。
