But why does spring make us feel good? Scientists have found some interesting reasons. Let’s listen to three experts. The Psychologist’s Idea 刷外刊 返回目录 7 “Light makes a big difference,” says Professor Peter. When spring comes, the sun stays longer. This makes people want to go outside. We wear thinner clothes, which makes us feel free and happy. Birds sing loudly, and flowers give off sweet smells. All these things make spring special. In winter, we often stay inside, sleep more, and eat more. That’s why we feel different in spring. 刷外刊 返回目录 8 The Hormone （激素） Expert’s Explanation Sunlight changes the chemicals in our bodies.“Melatonin （褪黑素） is a hormone that makes us sleepy,” says Dr Schatz. When there’s more light, our body makes less melatonin, so we feel active. Another hormone, serotonin （血清素）, makes us happy. Sunny days help our body make more serotonin! Warm weather also makes us feel good, but cold days aren’t always bad.“You can feel happy sitting in the sun in winter, too,” he says. 刷外刊 返回目录 9 The Weather Doctor’s View “Our genes make us sensitive to weather,” says Dr Lux. Long ago, people needed to follow the seasons to live. Now we have AC and heaters, but weather still affects us. In spring, we want to go out for ice cream or play with friends. This is a good sign—it means our body is healthy and working well! So next time you feel happy in spring, remember: it’s not just a feeling. It’s science at work! 阅读理解·语篇导读 本文探讨了春季使人心情愉悦的科学原因。 刷外刊 返回目录 10 1. 写作手法 How does the writer introduce the topic?( ) C A.By giving an example. B.By telling a story. C.By asking a question.
