📖 題組：
Teenagers are often criticized for staying up late and sleeping in, but science shows there’s a biological reason behind this pattern. During adolescence, the brain’s internal clock shifts. Teens naturally begin to feel sleepy later at night—sometimes not until 11 p.m. or even midnight. At the same time, they still need around eight to ten hours of sleep for healthy development. This shift in sleep cycle, known as “delayed sleep phase,” often clashes with early school schedules. Many schools start before 8 a.m., which means students are frequently forced to function while still sleep deprived. Studies have linked sleep deprivation in teens to poorer academic performance, increased irritability, and even higher rates of depression and anxiety. Some schools have experimented with later start times and seen promising results. Students reported feeling more alert, and teachers noticed improvements in both behavior and focus. Despite this, changes are slow to implement, largely due to concerns about transportation, extracurricular schedules, and resistance from some parents and school officials. Understanding teen sleep patterns isn’t about making excuses. It’s about recognizing a real biological need. Ignoring it not only affects learning but can also harm emotional well-being. By aligning school policies with scientific findings, we may improve both education and mental health outcomes for young people.

若我們發現某個群體的天然生理時鐘發生了改變，而外部的社會制度卻維持原狀，導致了許多健康與表現上的問題，那麼這篇文章的主要目的，是在教我們如何「勉強適應」現狀，還是在探討這種「生理與制度不匹配」的根本原因呢？

生理機制與環境制度的拉鋸
恭喜你精準地掌握了文章的核心！這道題目考驗的是對全文主旨的歸納能力。文中明確指出青少年在青春期（adolescence）會經歷延遲睡眠相位（delayed sleep phase），這是一種生理上的內在時鐘位移，導致他們傾向晚睡。然而，現行的學校早讀制度與此生物本能產生了碰撞。你選出的選項 (D) 完美涵蓋了「生理原因」與「學校時間表」這兩大關鍵要素，展現了你優異的閱讀理解實力。
