Are you happy most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament(脾氣) . It is usually believed that both genes(基因) and environment may affect people's temperaments 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 need to finish a questionnaire (問卷) The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questionnaire, 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 matched 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 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 mood disorders(紊亂) ,” lead scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.

A. Genes. B. Ages. C. Seasons. D. Environment.

2.What does the underlined word “depression” most probably mean?

A. Sadness. B. Happiness.

4.What will the writer most probably write about on “______”?

A.How many kinds of moods there are.

B. What can we change the human body most.

C. How the certain chemicals affect the moods.

Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(來源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消費者). Why is this, and what are the effects(影響) of these long distances?

Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they want to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.

Some countries have to import(進口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.

What’s wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warming. In addition, foo that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.

1.The underlined word “available” most probably means ________.

A. easy to get B. not buy

C. willing to talk D. impossible to get

2.Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of ________.

A. long distances B. difficult climates

C. fresh and tasty food D. modern technology

3.The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ________.

A. buy more local food

B. increase international trade

C. how some countries import their food

D. use imported materials

4.This passage is mainly about ________.

A. how local food travels from field to plate

B. what “food miles” is and its effects

C. how some countries import their food

D. where different kinds of food come from
