【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.

恭喜你答對了！這代表你不但精確掌握了文章的前後邏輯，對於慣用語的搭配也有敏銳的直覺。這題的核心在於理解「夏日厭惡者（summer haters）」與「季節性情緒失調（SAD）」之間的邏輯關係。
語意邏輯與慣用法
在第二段中，文章定義 SAD 通常發生在缺乏陽光的冬季；然而第五段提到的「夏日厭惡者」卻是在陽光充足的夏季感到情緒低落。這兩種現象在性質上是完全相反的，因此這裡需要一個能表達「違背」或「與……相反」的介係詞。動詞短語 go against 正好符合這個語境，用來表示某種觀察結果「違背」或「牴觸」了普遍的認知或理論。
