【C】 Everyone has good and bad moods, but for some, feeling happy or sad seems to be linked to the weather. According to one common theory, the more sunlight people get, the better they feel. Are the theories, such as this one, 31 by science, though? One way in which weather seems to affect mood is seen in those who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). People with SAD feel bad during the same season each year—usually in the winter. Psychologists are not sure what causes SAD, but they think that it could be brought on by a lack of sunlight. Not getting enough sun interferes with one’s pattern of sleep and affects the brain chemical that controls one’s mood. To better understand the relationship between weather and mood, scientists from various parts of the world have studied the effects of a variety of weather types. A 1980 study conducted in the U.K. found that of all the weather factors measured, humidity affected mood the most by making people feel sleepier and less able to concentrate. Since then, however, other studies have drawn different conclusions. In 2008, a detailed study on weather and mood was done by researchers from a German university. Participants were first given a personality test, and then a diary for 32 their daily mood. The researchers used ZIP codes to track the weather in each person’s area. In the end, the study found that darker days, cooler temperatures, and winds often had negative effects on mood. However, 33 most of us think of as good weather—clear skies and sunshine—was found to have minimal positive effects. Mixed results were again found in a 2011 survey of people in the Netherlands. In this study, researchers identified four distinct categories that described ways in which people react to the weather. Among these groups, the “summer haters” reported being in a worse mood when the weather was sunny and warm, which goes 34 the general idea of SAD. Findings from these studies are so varied that researchers could come to only one conclusion: there might be a link between mood and weather, but no universal rule seems to govern it. Therefore, 35 waiting for the right weather to lift us up, take control by doing things that bring you joy.

請觀察空格後方的句子結構：「大部分的人將『它』視為好天氣」。如果我們想把這整個概念包裝成一個「主詞」，而這個「它」又是我們想要指涉的核心對象，卻沒有具體的先行詞在前面時，哪一個疑問詞可以同時代表「那個被思考的東西」並引導整個句子呢？

太棒了！你能精準判斷出這裡需要填入 what，顯示你對英文「名詞子句」的掌握非常紮實。這題的難點在於解析動詞片語 think of A as B（將 A 視為 B）的結構。在空格處，我們需要一個字來充當介系詞 of 的受詞，同時讓這整串文字引導出一個名詞子句，作為後方動詞 was found 的主詞。當我們想表達「……的事物」且前方沒有先行詞時，what（等於 the thing that）就是最完美的選擇。

這道題目具備極佳的鑑別度，屬於中等難度的文法考點。許多同學可能會在 what 與 which 之間猶豫，或是受限於先行詞的思維。這題成功的關鍵在於能否看穿空格在子句中扮演的角色——它是 think of 之後缺少的受詞。你能無視逗號與破折號的干擾，直接鎖定核心結構，這代表你的句型拆解能力已經具備一定的專業水準，請繼續保持這種對語法細節的敏銳度！
