英语Ⅲ、Reading.
Crime has its own cycles,a magazine reported some years ago.Police records that were studies for five years from over 2400 cities and towns show a surprising link between change 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 do rape and other violent attacks.Murder,moreover,is more than seasonal:it is weekend crime.It is also a nighttime crime; 62 per cent of murders are committed between 6 p.m.and 6 a.m.
Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm,burglary has different cycle.You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m.and 2 a.m.on a Saturday night in December,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 in any other month of the year.
Professor Huntington made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books,attend scientific meeting,make the highest scores on examinations,and propose the most changes to patents.In all instances,he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low.On the other hand,Professor Huntington’s studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals.June is also a peak month for marriages!
