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 the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876—1974) 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 weather 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 a large number 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 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 good time to take a long vacation from thinking.
It seems that the cold of winter______.
选项
A、increases the ability to think
B、is the best time for thinking
C、is better for thinking than very warm weather
D、decreases the ability to think
答案
C
解析
第二段第一句说:“他发现对创造性思维来说,凉爽的天气比炎热的夏季更加有利。”由此我们可以推断出:比起炎热的天气,寒冷的冬季似乎更有助于思考。选项A、B、D均与文章内容不符。
