He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than 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 most 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 men'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!
Ellsworth laid his conclusion on ______.
A．records of changes in his own intelligence
B．work with people in different climates
C．records of temperature change
D．all of the above
"Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made," said a wretched Ellis. It turned out that while the distinguished historian had served in the Army, he'd spent his war years not in the jungles of Southeast Asia, but teaching history at West Point (西点军校). He'd also overstated his role in the antiwar movement and even his high-school athletic records. His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who wondered why someone so accomplished would beautify his past. But it seems that success and truthfulness don't always go hand in hand. Even among the distinguished achievers, security experts say, one in ten is deceiving--indulging in everything from empty boasting to more serious offenses such as plagiarism (剽窃), fictionalizing military records, making up false academic certificates or worse. And, oddly, prominent people who beautify the past often do so once they're famous, says Ernest Brod of Kroll Associates, which has conducted thousands of background checks. Says Brod: "It's not like they use these lies to climb the ladder."
Then what makes them do it？ Psychologists say some people succeed, at least in part, because they are uniquely adjusted to the expectations of others. And no matter how well-known, those people can be haunted by a sense of their own shortcomings. "From outside, these people look anything but fragile," says Dennis Shulman, a New York psychoanalyst. "But inside, they feel hollow, empty."
Which of the following is true about Ellis？
A．He is a famous professor of history at West Point.
B．His book on the Vietnam war has won two important prizes.
C．He has told both students and reporters about his own experience of war.
D．He has written a best-seller for a newspaper-- The Boston Globe.

Your intelligence varies from season to season if you are like most people. You are probably much sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.
