environment may influence people temperaments in dmerent ways, Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study,
the students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questions, scientists found that the students
always answered something like ”MY mood(情绪) often changes for no reason.” and “I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky.”These answers were then connected with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods
compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.
The study also found that those born in fall less probably had a mood of
depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier
to be angry.
Scientist said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life. “It seems when you are born may increase or decrease your chance
of developing certain mood disorders.”
Scientist Xenia Gonda told Teleraph.

Rob Frenette had problems with bullies(欺辱)at school for eleven years. He was often
lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.
After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other
people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called
www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems
about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team.. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around
the country about bullying.
Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault. There5s nothing wrong with you. so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find
those people."

You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车)full of food. What games do supermarkets p丨ay to make us spend so much money?
The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance,
anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.
Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.
Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is
cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things
but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers
on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red
stickers are easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly,
this trick appears to work more with men than with women
There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only t0 buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.
Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it*s better to shop when it*s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意),to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.
So; next time you go into your local supermarket remember these tricks and see if
you can come with just the things you go for.
31. Smells from bread in the supermarket .
A. make you feel hungry and buy more food B. draw your attention to bread only

34. It can be learned from Paragraph 6 tliat supermarkets usually .
A. stop people lining up at die checkouts

Sometimes when I came home from school, the biggest butterfly you had ever seen would be just sitting on your front gate. I would climb over the fence, move slowly to the side of the house, or do anything to avoid having to go through the front gate”. Clowns are not so funny for actor Jonny-Depp, whose childhood memory Of “ the painted faces and fake smiles,’ still makes him scared.
