People born in autumn live longer than those born in spring and are less likely to fall chronically (慢性) ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist. Using census (人口统计) data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Plank Institute for Demographic(人口统计的) Research found the month of birth was related to life expectancy over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy (孕期), and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age.
"A mother giving birth in spring spends the last stage of her pregnancy in winter, when she willeat less vitamins than in summer," said one of the scientists.

Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.
