Are you happy 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 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 temperaments they most had. From the questions, scientists found that the students always answered something like “my mood 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. 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 change of developing certain mood, disorders,” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.根据短文内容,判断下列句子正 (A)、误(B)。

It truly makes my day when I receive emails from the readers wanting to share their beautiful wedding stories with us. The moment I saw the pictures of Rhona and Justin, I knew they were a very special couple. Their love for one another is so moving and I’m so excited to share their beautiful wedding stories. This is Rhona’s sweet email. Enjoy!

Hi, Janie,

I hope this email finds you well. I don’t really know how couples share their wedding stories with you, but I decide to email you. I really feel so lucky to have had a photographer and videographer for our wedding in Detroit, Michigan and I want to share it with you. Both of them truly captured (捕捉) everything I felt and the beauty I saw on our wedding day. It was truly the best day of my life.

Our family and friends came from around the country to congratulate us. We had our wedding in Detroit because my husband was finishing medical school at the University of Michigan. We wanted to find a way to prevent our families from travelling too far within a short amount of time, so we decided to have everyone meet in the middle. His family is from California and my family is from Georgia.

We had an amazing year leading up to our wedding. He proposed (求婚) to me the day I graduated from the university of Maryland School of Law. We didn’t know how we could afford a wedding, but our families came through, especially my mom, who covered almost half of the cost. It was amazing. Well, I planned the whole thing and it turned out to be a wonderful dream. I want to share our journey and story with anyone who is interested, because I want every couple to know that they can have their dream wedding within a budget (预算).

Sincerely,

Rhona
