Like most people your intelligence changes from season to season. Y ou are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a clear effect on our intelligence.
He found that cool weather is much better for creative thinking than warm weather at learning in the summer as they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the intelligence of large numbers of people seems 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 man's intelligence is effected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.

Mother Teresa was born in Y ugoslavia(南斯拉夫）on August 27th,1910. She attended the government school near her home until she was eighteen. At that time, some doctors and nurses from Y ugoslavia were working in India, and they often wrote to the school about their work. She decided to join them one day.
When she finished school, she went first to Britain. Then a year later she went to India, where she began to train to be a teacher. After training, she was sent to Calcutta，where she taught geography at a school and soon after she became headmistress.
However, although she loved teaching, in 1946 Mother Teresa left the school and went to work in the poor parts of Calcutta. Later she trained to become a nurse in Patna, and then began her work helping the poor and comforting the dying in the streets of the city. Slowly, others came to help her, and her work spread to other parts of India.
