Passage One
Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood and behavior and human beings are no exception.Most people find that they eat and sleep more in winter and don't like the dark mornings and short days.For some people,however,symptoms are severe enough to damage their lives and to cause considerable stress .These people are suffering from SAD（Seasonal Affcetive Disorder ）.The symptoms usually start from around September lasting until April the next year,but are at their worst in December,which is the darkest month of the year.According to a recent survey,around 2% of people in Northern Europe suffer badly.The occurrence of women is three times higher than that of men.SAD usually occurs at an average age of 23,but children can also suffer from it.
The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter.Researchers have proved that bright light changes a chemical substance in the brain,although they haven't found out exactly how the sufferers are affected by the lack of light.
As the cause is lack of bright light,the treatment is to be in bright light every day.Skiing on a bright day is indeed a cure .If you stay indoors,you can sit in front of a specially-made lightbox,allowing the light to reach the eyes,for between 15 and 45 minutes daily.It will help alleviate the symptoms.The user does not have to stare at the light,but can watch TV or read a book,just allowing the light to reach the eyes.
