①Are you a happy person most of the time Or do you easily get angry sometimes Everyone has a different temperament（脾气）. It is usually believed that both genes（基因）and environment may affect（影响）people’s temperaments in different ways. But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role.

⑤Scientists 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.
