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．

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．
