Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) 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 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 (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.
B. A strong wind
C. Warm weather
D. Low air pressure
B. a strong wind
C. very hot weather
D. low air pressure
restaurants play music. You might 2 hear music in an office or on a farm.
Scientists believe that music changes the 3 people behave. According to some scientists, the
sound of western classical music makes people 4 richer. When a restaurant plays classical music,
people spend 5 money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays 6 music, people spend
less money. With 7 music, people spend even less.
Scientists also 8 that loud, fast music makes people eat faster. In fact, people 9 their
food faster when the music gets faster. Some restaurants play fast music during their 10 hours. This
gets people to eat faster and leave quickly. Restaurants 11 make more money this way.
Some scientists think that music makes you think and learn better. They say 12 music helps
students to be more active. It is true that people learn better when they are 13 . And listening to music
can help you relax.
The 14 time you hear music somewhere, be 15 . It might change the way you do things.
used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts
change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look
green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests
with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives
and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you"ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and
other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they
have the colors much like the trees. Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can
send out a kind of very black liquid (液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its
enemies (敌人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong
at all.
[ ]
B. are easily found by birds
C. are dangerous to their enemies
D. change their colors to protect themselves

to read rapidly. Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have
been strongly asked to break those which you might have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions.
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4) Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips, hold
your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips
move, you will know it and can stop them.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with
your right hand. Then you won"t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head,
place your chin (下巴)in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的).
If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take
in more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the fast
reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance. Read in thought groups and force (强迫) your eyes
along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able
to read faster.
B. to feel whether your lips move or not
C. to hold a piece of paper between them
D. to keep yourself from talking to others
be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan
last month. Thousands of people died in it. So it"s important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some
tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake.
a. If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that
could fall on you.
b. If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights.
These could fall on you.
c. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don"t try to run outside and rush for exits (出口). Everyone
will be doing that and you"ll find it hard getting out. Don"t get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide
under some strong cover near you.
d. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as
dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it"s safe to get up.
e. If you are at home and you smell gas (煤气), open the windows and get out of the building as quickly
as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.
B. weak
C. dangerous
D. scary
student. In f 1 , anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. If you can use your time
well, you may improve your study w 2 much work. Here"s how:

for hobbies.

which may be a desk o 6 just a corner of your room. No games, radio, or television! When you sit down
to work, think only about the subject!
