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 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, the IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was10% lower. Students in many schools of the United States often do worse in 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.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be because of the weather.

【推荐1】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 problems and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, sometimes it is very hot and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart problems after the weather changes in February or March.
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℃.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 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% 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 grades on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter maybe a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather but the fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

Dragon Heads-raising Day is also called the Spring Dragon Festival. It is on the second day of the second lunar (农历) month. It’s on February 21st this year. It came from an old story. After that day, the Dragon King will wake up from his winter sleep and bring more rain. So that day is the start of spring and farming season.
One of the most interesting things related to the day is about haircut. People believe that a haircut during the first lunar month is not a good idea. It may bring bad things to your uncles.

【推荐1】To lose weight, exercise alone is not enough because people sit too much today. That’s what the newest research has shown. Marc Hamilton led a team of scientists to do research at the University of Missouri.
Scientists have been surprised that so many people take exercise every day but they are still fat. The research was made to find the reason. In the experiments (实验), Hamilton used a few lab mice and pigs, as well as twelve human volunteers, including himself. He wanted to learn more about the effects (影响) of sitting. When the lab animals were sitting down, lipase (脂肪酶)—a material in the body that does the job of reducing fat—went down to 10 percent of normal after several hours. The research team got the same result from the experiments with humans.
“It was hard to believe at first,” said Hamilton, “but it’s true.” Those who exercise daily spend much more time sitting during the rest of the days, and the longer they are sitting, the more fat they get. Hamilton advises, “Keep exercising every day, but remember to stand up and take a walk from time to time during the day.”
