         Benjamin Banneker was born a few months before another great American-
George Washington. Benjamin was black, but he was not a slave. He and his
mother and his grandmother were free. Benjamin's grandmother came from
England. In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her
boat trip across the ocean . After working many more years, she saved enough
money to buy a farm. Benjamin lived with her for a while. She taught him to read
and write and do arithmetic (算術(shù)).
         Benjamin's neighbour knew that he was clever. They were not surprised
when he built a large wooden clock. He made each piece after studying a small
pocket watch. The clock made him famous, for it was one of the first clocks built in America. People from
other places began to send hard problems of all kinds for Benjamin to settle. 
        Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Banneker's ability to settle hard problems. He asked Banneker to
help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States-Washington, D.C. Banneker worked hard on
the plans for the city. He marked where the streets and buildings-the Capitol (美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)大廈) the White House,
and many others-should be built.
        Later, L' Enfant, the Frenchman who had designed the new city, had a quarrel, and went back to France
in anger. He took all of the plans with him. The workmen couldn't build without any plans to follow.
        For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed, but Benjamin Banneker
remembered the plans he had helped draw. He drew each again as he had built each piece of his clock.
        If it weren't for Benjamin Banneker, Washington, D.C might look very different from the way it does
today.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) 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 Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) 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, 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. 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 feelings. 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. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

 Low air pressure(氣壓) may make people forgetful(健忘). 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.
