K.in 2012 —is among people born in May.November babies have the lowest depressi on rates.It' s mostly glad news for June , July and August babies.No SAD （Abbreviation for seasonal affective disorder: a medical condition in which a person does not have much energy and en thusiasm duri ng the win ter because of the reduced period of n atural light） for you—at least nothing caused by the light levels after your birth , though there may be some impacts from mom having carried you in December, January and February.Summer babies have some of the same hyperthymic characteristics as spring babies, but that can be offset by cyclothymia（环性气质）—rapid cycling between high and low moods.Still , that' s probably not a warning sign of bipolar disorder（双相型障碍）;bipolar diagnoses are lowest among babies born in August.For people who believe in astrology（占星术）,the general calmness of fall babies seems to provide evidenee that at least the sign of Libra —the well- balaneed scales— has connection with it.It doesn' t of course, but whether the cause is the abundant nutrients available at harvest time , or the fact that the long ni ghts and seas onal ill ness of win ter have not yet appeared , people born in fall not only enjoy low levels of depression , but are similarly less likely to develop bipolar disorder.One glitch in the autumn- born is that they do have a tendency to irritability.Buckle_up , win ter babies , things could get rough.Am ong the challe nges facing people with winter birthdates are higher levels of schizophre nia（精神分裂症）,bipolar disorder , SAD and depressi on.That' s terrible , but there is someth ing to make up for that：win ter babies are less irritable than those born in fall.What ' s more , according to a small 2015 study of 300 celebrities , January and February are the right months to be born if you want to be famous since those months correlate with creativity andimaginative problem- solving ability.21．Which statement is TRUE according to the article?A ．Spring babies are always very happy.B ．Fewer August babies get bipolar disorder.C ．Fall babies have the highest depression rates.D．Winter babies are the most fortunate.22 ．The underlined phrase “ Buckle up” in the last paragraph can be replaced bya ”A ．Attention B．Don' t worryC．Congratulations D．Don' t give up23．In which month you should give birth to your baby if you hope he or she is creative? A ．January.B．May.C．August. D．November.24．Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A ．Which Is the Best Birth Month?B ．Diseases You Should Pay Attention toC ．Give Birth to Your Baby in a Proper MonthD．Different Birth Months ，Different CharactersB（2018辽宁凌源三模）Hawking died early Wednesday at his home in England at the age of 76.Throughout his career as one of the world ' s most recognizable cosmic thinkers ，he regularly threw himself into pop culture' s comedic ring with cameos（客串）on programs such as The Simpsons and Late Night with Conan O' Brien.These appearances defined Hawking ' s personal life as much as his universe-shaking theoretical work.Humor ，however，was not just one side of his personality ，but a key to overcoming the disease he struggled against since 1963.“ Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival ，as has maintaining a sense of humor，” Hawking said in a 2013 documentary. “I am probably better known for my appearances on TheSimpsons and on The Big Bang Theory than I am for my scientific discoveries. ”At 21 ，Hawking was diagnosed with a condition similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis（肌萎缩性侧索硬化症），also known as Lou Gehrig' s disease.According to the ALS Association，“ Half of all people affected with ALS live at most three or more years after diagnosis.Twenty percent live five years or more; only ten percent will live more than ten years.The disease would eventually shut down Hawking ' s motor functions ，making him speechless and unable to move without a wheelchair.Doctors initially said he would be dead in two years.His condition ，however ，proved to be a rate slow- acting version.But Hawking fought through his worse physical state，rising to a position as a celebrated professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge and altering the popular conception of physics with his 1988 bestseller ，A Brief History of Time.“ When I turned 21，my expectations were reduced to zero，” he said in a TV show.He added，“ It was important that I came to appreciate what I did have.It ' s also important not to become angry，no matter how difficult life is ，because you can lose all hope if you can't laugh at yourself and at life in general. ”25．What was Hawking like according to the text?A ．He was kind and brave.B ．He was friendly and adventurous.C．He was humorous and strong- minded. D．He was shy and uncommunicative.26．How did Hawking deal with ALS?A ．He did further research into the disease.B ．He kept a positive attitude towards his disease.C ．He did more exercise and spoke a lot with others.D．He went to hospital to have a health check regularly. 27．What can be learnt from the story of Hawking?A ．Laughter is the best medicine.B ．Lost time is never found again.C ．Everything comes to him who waits.D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 28．What can we know from the text?A ．ALS is a common disease in England.B ．Doctors once abandoned treatment for Hawking.C ．Playing roles in comedies was Hawking 's favorite.D．It's almost a wonder that Hawking can survive the disease.
