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（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 depressionwhich 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．

It was a great pleasure for the family to move to a house with a very big garden．Betty and Tony could climb up trees，grow flowers and even play badminton．They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden．They even started to put food out to attract more birds．

Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window．Betty went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass．Its neck seemed to be broken．

"It must have flown into the window．"Tony said when his sister Betty called him to have a look" Ah，yes，look here．You can see the mark where it hit the window．There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck on the window．"

"Poor things!" Betty said．

During the next month，five more birds died in the same way．"Why would they fly to the windows？"They wondered．Finally they knew the truth．When the birds were flying，they couldn't see into the rooms．All they saw was the reflection（倒影） of the garden，They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window，

"Something has to be done to save the birds．"the parents decided．

At first，the family tried keeping curtains （窗帘）across the windows，but this made the room dark．Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk．They made six hawks﹣﹣one for each window．They stuck the hawks to the windows．They looked pretty and did not keep out much light，When the birds saw the hawks，they would fly away．

It fills me with joy that I am a member of the UN Global Education First Youth Advocacy Group．I have plenty of volunteer experiences and it is from these experiences that I was chosen out of 400 people who wanted to join to serve in this group．

When I finished my middle school，I started volunteering in a few non﹣governmental organizations．I began to understand a lot about community development．I took part in some projects and activities about the environment，peace and HIV/AIDS．

I had many obstacles（障碍）while volunteering because people don't think volunteer work is important．People consider volunteering as a waste of time．They can't imagine the fact that someone can work without pay．My friends and relatives advised me to stop volunteering．I felt hard at some point but I couldn't stop because I loved doing it．I decided not to pay attention to their advice but to continue my work．

One day，a group of young people came to me and said that they were all thankful to me for the changes I had brought into their lives through peer（同龄人）education．I was so happy to hear that because it brought great joy to me．My advice to peers is that we can't succeed in life overnight．We have to work hard to achieve our dreams．Even if you graduate from the best school in the world，it's not enough because what matters most is your skill．The best way to discover who you are is to volunteer．Volunteering does not only allow you to offer your services，but to learn and discover new things and improve your skills．One secret of voluntary work is to avoid thinking about money because that is where the problem lies．
