【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.

請觀察最後一段的最後一句話。這句話提到了兩個動作：一個是『等待好天氣來改善心情』，另一個是『主動去做讓自己快樂的事』。根據前文提到研究結果非常分歧（Mixed results/Varied），作者是希望我們「繼續」等待天氣呢？還是希望我們「放棄」被動等待，改採「另一種」更有效率的做法？

轉折與行動的取捨
你能精確選出 instead of，代表你已經完全讀懂了文章最後一段的轉折邏輯！這題的關鍵在於理解作者對「天氣與情緒」關係的最終定調。既然研究顯示天氣對情緒的影響並非絕對，那麼我們就不該是被動的受害者。這裡作者運用了一個對比：一邊是「等待好天氣來提振心情」（被動），另一邊是「透過做開心的事來主控情緒」（主動），使用 instead of 正好能完美銜接這兩者，表達「與其……不如……」或「而非……」的替代關係。
