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 have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, 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% 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 grades 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(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a"good weather "for health. 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.1.What kind of weather can have a bad effect(影响) on health?A. Hot and wet weather.B. A strong windC. Warm weather.D. Low air pressure.2. When may people have more intelligence?A. When a rain comes.B. When very hot weather comesC. When a strong wind comes.D. When low air pressure comes3. How may low air pressure make people feel?A. Forgetful.B. SadC. Angry.D. Tired4. What will happen to people in "good weather"of 18Ⅱ?A. People are very forgetful.B. People can't do their work wellC. Thin people feel cold.D. People are in better health.5. What does the writer want to tell us?A. Hot and cold weather influences all people in the same wayB. Weather influences people's lives.C. IQ changes when weather changes.D. There is a good kind of weather for people's work and health.IV.根据句意、首字母及汉语提示完成填空。

One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.（）1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud（）2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? 6A. They ate it in a polite way.B. They only ate its best part.C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.（）3.
