    Crime (罪行) has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2 400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.

    The pattern (模式) of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high point during July and August, as do rape (強(qiáng)奸案) and other violent (猛烈的) attacks. Murder, besides, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.

    Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary (搶劫) has a 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 uncriminal month of all is May except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.

    Obviously our intellectual (智力的) seasonal cycles are completely different from out criminal tendencies (傾向). Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made careful studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores in examinations, and propose the most changes to patents (專利). In all instances, he found a spring peak (高峰) and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies show that June is the peak month for suicides (自殺) and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!

    Possibly, high temperatures and high humidity (濕度) bring on our strange and terrifying summer actions, but police officials are not sure. “There is of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder,” they say. “Why murder's high time should come in the summertime we really don't know.”

(1) The main idea of paragraph 1 is ________.

[　　]

A．there is a link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns.

B．crime is not linked to the changes in season.

C．2400 towns were studied for five years.

D． the crime patterns have no connections with summer.

(2) The subject of paragraph 2 is ________.

[　　]

A．murder
B．summer crime
C．suicide
D．marriage

(3) In Paragraph 3 what is the one strange statistic (數(shù)據(jù)) of May?

[　　]

A．There are more robberies in May.

B．There are more dog bites in May.

C．There is the most crime in May.

D．There are most marriages in May.

(4) In paragraph 4, a graph for our intellectual cycles might look like this:

W = winter Sp = spring Su = summer A = autumn (見P93上圖)

(5) The information in paragraph 5 says: ________.

[　　]

A．There may be a connection between murder and hot weather.

B．There is surely a connection between murder and hot weather.

C．There is no connection between murder and hot weather.

D．There must be a connection between cold weather and murder.

       One night, I was woken up by loud noise． We ran out to see what was wrong． A raccoon（浣熊） had decided that some goose eggs would taste good and had come too close to the setting．When we found Su, the raccoon had caught her by her neck and was biting it．We drove it away and took Su to the garage, washed her wound and wrapped it up in a bandage．Goose knew she was there and wanted to be with her, so we opened the small garage door and he hurried in．After two days and nights, I released them back outside．

       For the first three nights at dusk, we would get her and carry her into the garage for the night and Goose would come running behind us to join her there．We were touched by his devotion to her．We took off her bandage and she was fine  so that next night, we had not planned to take her to the garage any longer．We were amazed, however, that when dusk fell that night, she climbed the back steps to our garage door waiting for us to come and get her in!
