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 peoples 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 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(情绪) 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 peoples moods even in adult life. “It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders.” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.39 . Ages probably may influence peoples temperaments according to Paragraph 1.40 . The underlined word “depression” most probably means sadness.41 . The answers to the questions of the study were matched with their birthdays.42 . People born in winter get sad or happy more easily.43 .

The first spacecraft with a human on board blasted into space In 1961. since then, people have not only been travelling to space, but many of them have also lived there for extended periods.FoodAll the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent to the space station, along with the astronauts, by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be preserved by dehydration or canning.The space station does not have a freezer to preserve food, but It does have a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh.Astronauts also eat many other foods such as cereals, cereal bars, nuts and dried fruit that do not need any special preparation.EatingAstronauts have a set timetable each day. This tells them when to do everything, including when to have their meals. At meal preparation time, they start getting their food ready, which often includes adding water to re-hydrate the dehydrated foods.Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tricky. Astronauts sometimes have to strap themselves and their food into place. Because of lack of gravity, astronauts cannot use ground salt and pepper, and all drinks must be taken from bottles. They also have to be careful that crumbs do not fly off and get stuck in vents and instrument panels.（选自九年级下册新理念英语阅读）67 . What does the space station have to keep fruit and vegetables fresh?
