Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar
when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a ape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these
infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers' production of
melationin-a hormone known to affect some brain functions-would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a
follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children-now teenagers-who had shown signs of distress
identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin before birth cause shyness during infancy and this
shyness continues into later life.
TS：
1，简单说题目..
2，婴儿大多数对外界不熟悉的刺激多数都有不同程度的反应，所以不能那这个说明这25名婴儿和别的infants有何不同之处.且25人数量太少不
足以说明实验的准确性.而且argument没有state具体的数据，比如说这25人中有多少人是conceived in early autumn....没人任何证据表明
melationin的分泌和是否怀孕有关系
3，孩子还不害羞多数是后天环境造成的，而且是否害羞要根据孩子所在群体判定，有可能某个孩子所在的群体，这个群体的孩子都极为外向，
这个孩子相对这个群体而言，他就觉得自己害羞，但实际如果放到另一个群体中，他就可能是相对那个群体而言的外向性格。
4，最后一段,blahblah.....

The argument states a study among 25 infants who showed abnormal behavior when exposed to unfamiliar stimulus. After they found these infants are more likely to have been conceived in early autumn. They associate it with their production of melationin without quoting any convincing evidence. Also the inference that increased levels of melationin before birth cause shyness cannot make readers convinced.

The study chooses 25 infants who show different extent of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimulus. But we must consider that infants do not learn much about unknown world. They may afraid everything they meet. So it couldn't be a living reason that these 25 infants have any differences from others, maybe they are just ordinary ones. Furthermore, draw a conclusion by using a 25 infants' group cannot reveal its rationality to readers. Even more the argument fails to state accurate data to us that how many infants are conceived in early autumn exactly. Even more, it seems that the researchers think it absolutely that mothers' production of melationin influence the result that whether infants could be conceived. Even though melationin contributes to the infants' conceiving. Whether there will be other factors that can contribute to a change of melationin is still unknow.

In the follow-up study, the researchers believe these infants are more easily to get shy by asking the children-now teenagers themselves. Then generalize the conclusion increased levels of melationin before birth cause shyness during infancy and shyness continues into later life. But, what's shyness. How to define it? Teenagers' characters are mostly made by living
environment. From infants to teenagers, there would be sufficient time for the environment to change a children's character totally. Additionally maybe there living condition cause them make an inaccurate evaluation to themselves. If one lives in a condition that all the children around him or her are all very extrovert, but if put him or her to another condition that children here are all introvert, the one may redefine his or her characters according to the environment.

Above all, the argument fails to provide us convincing proof that how many of the 25 infants are conceived in early autumn and why the melationin has an association with the conceiving. Besides, there is several of factors result a child's character. Researchers shouldn't contribute it to melationin without considering other possibility.
