Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence 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 Northwest and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have some 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. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feeling. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. Low air pressure（气压） may make people forgetful. 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.
According to the writer, fat people may feel bad in ________weather.

The underlined word “intelligence” means _________ in Chinese.

Dr. Molly’s Reply

Whatever I do, I always think about if other people will like it. How can I stop worrying about what they think? My dream is to be on the Olympic team for gymnastics. My dad thinks I started too late and I’ll never be able to make it. He puts me down. But I want his support, what should I do? What should I do if I failed a test? I’m afraid to tell my mum because she might get mad at me and I can’t play soccer. And soccer is like the world to me. I just moved to a new place and I’m kind of shy, so how do I make new friends? I have some difficulties in communicating with my parents. We have totally different ideas on many things.

A．You’d better tell your mum the truth and explain why you failed the test. Ask her if she can help you study in the future, so you’ll do better on your tests and also have time for the soccer you love. B．Just be yourself and try not to care about what others think. The more you think about it, the worse you will feel. Always act strongly and confidently. Even if you are a little unsure of something, don’t doubt(怀疑) your abilities to do things right. Just relax. C．You should tell him about your dream and that if you work really hard, it might happen even though you started late. The sooner you tell your dad how you feel, the sooner you will be able to work on making your dream come true. D．You should take more exercise to prepare for the Olympic team. E. Nobody knows you at your new school. You have nothing to lose, so gather up all your courage and go over to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself. You can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to break the ice. Good luck! F. I think you should be patient to listen to what your parents say. Because they have more experience than you. Their suggestions are good to you. G. You can make a speech in front of a mirror every day, and it will make you more confident to give a speech one day.
