The clock struck(敲) eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly at a huge pile（堆） of those trouble things —books.

I was going to have my exam the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. And I could not. The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear! Ten more books to read before I go to bed!” We students are the most wretched ones in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.

The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I did learn. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed（祈禱）, “My god, please let me pass the exam tomorrow. I will work hard next time, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the books, I fell asleep.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影響) 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 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 students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), 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 18C, people become stronger.

Low air pressure (氣壓) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade (攝氏度).

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

1.People may have more intelligence when _____ comes.

　 A. a rain   B. very hot weather

C. a strong wind  D. low air pressure

2.Low air pressure may make people _______.

　 A. forgetful   B. sad  C. angry  D. tired

3.In “good weather” of 18 centigrade, _______.

A. people are very forgetful

B. people can’t do their work well

C. thin people feel cold

D. people are in better health

4.The writer wants to tell us that _______.

A. hot and cold weather influences all people in the same way

B. weather influences people’s lives

C. IQ never changes during weather changes

D. There is a good kind of weather for people’s work and health
