In many places the weather changes during the year. These changes are called seasons. In the north and south there are four seasons in a year. At the North Pole and the South Pole, there are only two seasons. In tropical（热带的）places near the earth’s equator（赤道）, there are two seasons: a “wet” season and a “dry” season. Each season brings changes. They are important for plants and animals that live in different parts of the world.
Spring starts when the day and night are the same length. The weather gets warmer and sunnier. Trees and plants start to grow. Many animals have their babies in spring.
Summer begins on the longest day of the year. In the north this is on June 21st or 22nd. Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year. Fruit grows faster on trees and plants. Young animals grow bigger and stronger.
Autumn starts when the day and night are the same length again. During autumn, the leaves change color and fall down from the trees. Some animals collect food before winter comes.
Winter begins on the shortest day of the year. In the north this is on December 21st or 22nd. The weather is colder and in some places there is lots of snow. Plants and trees stop growing. Some animals, like bats and bears, find places to hide and sleep. This is called hibernation.

Are you happy most of the time Or do you easily get angry sometimes Everyone has a different temperament (脾气). It’s usually believed that both genes (基因) and the environment may influence people’s temperament in different 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 temperament they most had. From the questions, scientists found that the students always answered something. Like “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 with the people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring or summer.
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life. “It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain moods disorders (紊乱),” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.
41．What probably can't affect people's temperaments according to Paragraph 1？
A Genes． B．Ages． C．Seasons． D．Environment．

A．How many kinds of moods thee are．
B．What can change the human body most．
C．How the certain chemicals affect the moods．

In many places the weather changes during the year. These changes are called seasons. In the north and south there are four seasons in a year. At the North Pole and the South Pole, there are only two seasons. In tropical（热带的）places near the earth’s equator（赤道）, there are two seasons: a “wet” season and a “dry” season. Each season brings changes. They are important for plants and animals that live in different parts of the world.
Spring starts when the day and night are the same length. The weather gets warmer and sunnier. Trees and plants start to grow. Many animals have their babies in spring.
Summer begins on the longest day of the year. In the north this is on June 21st or 22nd. Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year. Fruit grows faster on trees and plants. Young animals grow bigger and stronger.
Autumn starts when the day and night are the same length again. During autumn, the leaves change color and fall down from the trees. Some animals collect food before winter comes.
Winter begins on the shortest day of the year. In the north this is on December 21st or 22nd. The weather is colder and in some places there is lots of snow. Plants and trees stop growing. Some animals, like bats and bears, find places to hide and sleep. This is called hibernation.

Are you happy most of the time Or do you easily get angry sometimes Everyone has a different temperament (脾气). It’s usually believed that both genes (基因) and the environment may influence people’s temperament in different 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 temperament they most had. From the questions, scientists found that the students always answered something. Like “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 with the people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring or summer.
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life. “It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain moods disorders (紊乱),” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.
41．What probably can't affect people's temperaments according to Paragraph 1？
A Genes． B．Ages． C．Seasons． D．Environment．
42．What does the under1ined word"（depression）"most probably mean？
A．Sadness． B．Happiness． C．Surprise D．Excitement．
43．Which of the following sentences is NOT true from the passage？
A People born in summer change their moods more easily．
B．The season of birth has an influence on humans' moods．
C．There were 400middle school students taking part in the study．
D The answers to the questionnaire were matched with their birthdays．
44．What will the writer most Probably write about on？
A．How many kinds of moods thee are．
B．What can change the human body most．
C．How the certain chemicals affect the moods．
D．Whether the students will continue their study．
45．What's the best title of this passage？A
A．Seasons and Moods B．The Influence of Genes
C．Moods and Health D．The Importance of Birthplaces．
