问题     Crime has its own cycles, a magazine re-
ported some years before. Police records that 【M1】______
were studied for five years over 2,400 cities
and towns show a surprised link between       【M2】______
changes in the season and crime patterns.
    The pattern of crime has varied very little
over a long period of years. Murder reaches its
high during July and August, as does rape and 【M3】______
other violent attacks.  Murder, however, is   【M4】______
more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It
is also a hightime crime: 62 percent of mur-
ders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6
a. m.
    Unlike the summer high in crimes of bod-
ily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You
are most likely to being robbed between 6    【M5】______
p.m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in De-
cember, January, or February. The most un-
criminal month of all?
    May--except for one strange statistic,
more dog bites are reported in this month than
an other month of the year.                  【M6】______
    Apparent our intellectual seasonal cycles【M7】______
are completely different from our criminal
tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the
Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made ex-
tensive studies to discover the seasons when
people read serious books, attend scientific
meetings, make the highest scores on exami-
nations, and to propose the most changes to  【M8】______
patents. In all instances, he found a spring
peak and an autumn peak separated by a sum-
mer low. On other hand, Professor            【M9】______
Huntington’s studies indicated that June is the
peak month for suicides and admissions in    【M10】______
mental hospitals. June is also a peak month
for marriage!
【M1】
