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?”We wondered.Finally, they knew the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn't see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection of the garden, They thought that they were flying into treesbecause 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.

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 temperamentthey most had.From the questions,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 connected with their birthdays. They discovered that people born in summer easily changebetween 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 thatthose born in fall less probably had a mood ofdepressionwhich may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry. Scientists said thatthis 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 toldthe Telegraph.

Ages probably may influence people's temperaments according to the Paragraph 1. The underlined the word “depression” most probably means sadness. The answers to the questions of the study were matched with their birthdays. People born inwinter get sad or happy more easily. The best title of this passage is “The Influence of Genes”.
