Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported
    some years before. Police records that were studied 1.__________
    for five years from over 2400 cities and towns show
    a surprised link between changes in the season and 2.__________
    crime patterns.
    The pattern of crime has varied very little
    over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high
    during July and August, as does rape and other violent 3.__________
    attacks.Murder, however, is more than seasonal: it is a 4.__________
    weekend crime. It is also a hightime crime: 62 percent
    of members are committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
    Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm,
    burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely
    to being robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday 5.__________
    night in December, January,or February. The most
    uncriminal month of all? May--except for one strange
    statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month
    than in an other month of the year. 6.__________
    Apparent our intellectual seasonal cycles are 7.__________
    completely different from our criminal tendencies.
    professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study
    of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the
    seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific
    meetings, make the highest scores on examinations,
    and to propose the most changes to patents. In all 8.__________
    instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak
    separated by a summer low. On other hand, Professor 9.__________
    huntinton's studies indicated that June is the peak
    month for suicides and admissions in mental hospitals. 10.__________
    June is also a peak month for marriages!
