B
Different kinds of weather make people feel different. They influence health, intelligence and feelings. In the southern part of the United States, it is very hot at times and very cold at other times. People in those places have more heart trouble and other kinds of health problems after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in the report of 1983 by scientists, IQ of a group of students is very high when a very strong wind comes, but after the strong wind, their IQ is 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse scores in exams 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 and unhappy during these months. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summers.
Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. Scientists say people leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.

答案
4. B 5. C 6. C
解析
4. 根据文章第二段最后一句“Students in many schools of the United States often get worse scores in exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).”可知,美国学生在7月、8月这类炎热月份参加考试分数会更低,选项中只有July符合该描述。
5. 根据文章第四段第二句“Scientists say people leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days.”可知,在低气压的日子里,人们会将更多的包遗落在公交车和商店中。
6. 文章开篇就点明核心主旨:不同的天气会让人们感受不同,它会影响人们的健康、智力和情绪,后文也分别从这三个维度展开叙述。选项A表述片面,只提及炎热天气对健康的影响;选项B和原文首句表述相悖;选项D只是文中的细节内容,并非全文主旨。
