If you are like most people，your intelligence varies from season to season．You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year．A noted scientist，Ellsworth Huntington（1876-1947），concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities．

He found that cool weatner is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat．This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year．It does mean，however，that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer．

Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking．One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature．

Fall is the next-best season，then winter．As for summer，it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking！

春天似乎是一年中最利於人們思考的一段時間，其原因可能是
，春天給整個大自然帶來巨大變化的因素，同樣也給人類智能帶來影響。

秋天是第二個最好的季節
，其次是冬天，至於夏天，它似乎是一段人們不動腦筋、休長假的好時光。
