This is what Murphy' s Law tells us： If things can go wrong，they will go wrong．But is it true？
Of the studies about Murphy' s Law，the most famous one is the buttered toast （烤面包片）phenomenon （现象）： One toast with butter falls，it lands butter﹣side down most of the time．
To prove this，Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1，000British school kids in 2001．
In the first experiment，each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate，let it fall off 20times and noted which side it landed on．Of almost 10，000experiments，toast landed butter﹣side down 62percent of the time．
But you may ask： Is it the butter that plays a role？ Here comes Matthews' second experiment．
This time，instead of butter，the toast had a letter "B" written on one side．It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B﹣side．
This proved that Murphy' s Law is true： If the toast can land butter﹣side down，it will do so．
Matthews did another experiment．When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5metres，the toast landed butter﹣side down only 47percent of the time．
"Toast lands butter﹣side down because humans aren' t tall enough to let it land any other way，" Matthews said．

Are you happy most of the time？Or do you easily get angry sometimes？Everyone has a different temperament（脾气）．It is usually believed that both genes（基因） and environment may influence people's temperament in different ways．Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role．
Scientists from Budapest，Hungary，studied 400 university students．In the study，the students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperaments they most had．From the questions，scientists found that the students always answered something like "My mood（情绪） often changes for no reason．"and" I love to deal with new projects，even if it is risky．"These answers were then connected with their birthdays．
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter．Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer．
The study also found that those born in fall less probably had a mood of depressionwhich may easily drive them to cry，while those in winter were not easier to be angry．
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body．And the chemicals are important to control people's moods even in adult life．"It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your change of developing certain mood disorders．"scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph．
