Different weather makes people feel different. It influences(影响) health, intelligence and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the south of the US. People there have heart trouble and other health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot in summer and very cold in winter. People in these places 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, the IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower than before. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. However, very hot weather can make it lower. Students in many schools of the US often get worse in exams(考试) in the hot months of the year(July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather, too. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger. Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags in buses and in shops on low-pressure days.
Are you feeling sad, tired, or forgetful today? It may be the weather’s problem.
44. What can cause health problems?
A. Hot and wet weather. B. A strong wind. C. Warm weather. D. Low air.
