27、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 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(问卷). 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(紊乱) ,＂ lead scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.

(N: National Geographic Kids Magazine J: Jane Goodall)

N: Hi Jane, when did you first know you wanted to work with animals?

J: I was ten when I decided I wanted to go to Africa and live with wild animals and write books about them. That’s about 70 years ago now, and at that time then girls in England didn’t have those opportunities (机会). So everybody laughed at me and said, “Jane, d【1】 about something you can achieve.” But my mother said, “If you really want something, you’re going to have to work hard and never give up!”

N: Great a【2】! What’ s been unusual about the work you’ve done?

J: I studied animals in a different way. While I was in Tanzania in the 1960s, other scientists told me I’d done my whole study of chimpanzees w【3】. They explained that I shouldn’t have given the chimpanzees names and that they should have been numbered. I was told I couldn’t talk about their personalities, minds or emotions because they thought only humans had those things. But luckily, I’d learned from my dog as a child that what they said was not t【4】 at all.

N: It sounds like having a childhood pet really helped you in your studies! What are you most p【5】 of?

J: Helping people to understand that humans are part of the animal kingdom, not separate from it. When I started out, nobody else was studying chimpanzees in the wild, so I was able to show how their behaviour is like o【6】-kissing, hugging, holding hands, patting one another, etc.

N: What t【7】 would you give to NG Kids readers who want to have a wild career like yours?

J: You’ve got to really, really want it! You could go to university and go straight into research, but there are also lots of chances for volunteering or for working at zoos. Keep your ears open for opportunities.

N: Thanks for the chat, Jane!
