Peter wondered why he didn't have many friends. The reason was that he was always taking, but never giving.
One day Peter told Harry, "I'd like to have a party on Saturday. And I'd like you to come and bring Jason too." "Thanks, Peter. We'd be happy to come." "Perhaps you'd like to bring your violin. You and Jason sing well together. I'm sure everyone will want you to sing for us." That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next, he asked another friend, Leo, to bring a cake. "You make the best cake in the world. Leo, I like to eat your cake better than to have one from the shop." Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn't forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him have the party at their house! They agreed. The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said "Thank you" to Harry and Jason for the music, Leo for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and others for their hard work. To Peter, they just said, "Thanks for the invitation."

B(2026·南通第二初级中学调研改编)
阅读短文回答问题。
Different weather makes us feel different. It influences 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 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 about $10\%$ 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?
