Chocolate cakes and ice cream D Congratulations, March, April and May babies, you score high on the hyperthymia scale—which is actually good. Hyperthymia is general optimism— the ability to see every down as a beginning to an up, every market crash as a runup to a boom. But that es at a price: spring babies are also easier to be affected by the opposite of hyperthymia: clinical depression. Ground zero for the condition— according to a massive study of 58,000 subjects in the . in 2021— is among people born in May. November babies have the lowest depression 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 enthusiasm during the winter because of the reduced period of natural light. ) for you— at least nothing caused by the light levels after your birth, though there may be some impact 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(躁郁情緒 )—rapid cycling between high and low moods. Still, that?s probably not a warning sign of bipolar disorder。 bipolar diagnoses are lowest among babies born in August. For people who believe in astrology(占星術 ), the general calmness of fall babies seems to provide evidence that at least the sign of Libra— the wellbalanced 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 nights and seasonal illness of winter have not yet appeared, people born in fall not only enjoy low levels of depression, but are similarly less likely to develop bipolar disorder. The one glitch in the autumnborn: they do have a tendency to irritability. Buckle up, winter babies, things could get rough. Among the challenges facing people with winter birthdates are higher levels of schizophrenia(精神分裂癥 ), bipolar disorder, SAD and depression. That?s terrible, but there is something to make up for that: winter babies are less irritable than those born in fall. What?s more, according to a small 2021 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 and imaginative problemsolving. 32. 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. 33. The phrase “Buckle up” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ________. A. Attention B. Don?t worry C. Congratulations D. Don?t give up 34. 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. 35. 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 to C. Give birth to your baby in a proper month D.
