四、阅读表达
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。
(2018·山东淄博周村期末)Different weather makes people feel different. It has an effect on health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower.
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin

五、Dear Maggie,
My grades are not very good and my parents are angry with me. I told them that I worked hard at school. The problem is that I am just not good at schoolwork. But they think I spend too much time playing basketball when I should be studying and if I do all these things instead of my homework, I will not have time to study. It is true that I play basketball a lot because I think basketball is something great. I am on the school team and I am proud of that. But my parents do not allow me to play any more. What should I do?
Yours sincerely,
Cherry
