According to scientists' research, the month in which babies are born could affect them in some ways.
       Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn  Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother's exposure to sunlight in pregnancy(怀孕).  Sunlight helps lead to the production of Vitamin D in the body. The lack of this in the first months of life may have a bad effect on mental and physical health.
         Vitamin D, called the "sunshine vitamin", is known to help regulate（调节） thousands of genes during development, according to a study of more than two million people. So Vitamin D has a good effect on health  This study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the USA showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.
        Professor Russell Foster, an Oxford University neuroscientist on seasonal biology, said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, "These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth."

    Nobody in the street knew Miss Hilton. While she lived, her front gate was always locked and no one ever saw her 1 or saw 2 go in. So even if you 3, you couldn't feel sorry and 4 that you 5 Miss Hilton.

    When I think of 6, I see just two colours, grey and green. The green of mango tree, the grey of the house and the grey of the high iron fence（铁栅栏） that kept you off the mangoes.

    If your football 7 Miss Hilton's garden, you never 8. It wasn't the mango season 9 Miss Hilton died. But we got back about ten 10 twelve of our footballs.

    11 the end of the week a sign was shown on the mango tree: For sale.

    We were ready to dislike 12 even before they came. I think we 13. Already we had one man who kept on complaining（抱怨）about us 14 the police. He complained that we played football near his house and if we weren't playing football he complained that we were making 15 noise anyway.
