主题群:自然生态 子主题:知识科普 语篇类型:说明文 难度:★★
Different weather makes us feel different. It influences(影响) our health, feelings and intelligence(智力).
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there may have some 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 also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. They feel hot and get angry easily.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, 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 lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse grades on exams in July and August, the hottest months of the year.
1. What's the weather like in the southern part of the United States in August?
2. How might thin people feel during cold weather?
3. Who may have a hard time in hot summer?
4. When was the IQ of the group of students high in a scientific report?
5. Which weather do you like? Why?
