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 Northwest and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have some 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 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.
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 the temperature of about 18 °C.
Do you feel sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the influence of the weather.

In the teen years, young people change in many ways. The body changes, so do thoughts and feelings. These changes become an important part of teenage life.
Teens may often harm their health by developing bad lifestyles. Bad eating habits and less sleep may cause lots of problems. For example, they may often feel tired and have no interest in anything. Some begin to smoke, which is bad for their health.
Teens' feelings usually change, too. They may get angry more easily. Other changes include becoming depressed more easily and feeling nervous. Some teens may start to keep secrets to themselves and refuse to talk with their parents or teachers, and they always show their anger and dislike for another person or group.
During the teen years, people will usually have some problems that may cause other problems. One reason for this may be that teens are never taught about the changes that are taking place and they do not know how to deal with the problems they have.

What does your face say?
How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures?
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.
Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions — happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example,both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the
same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.
“We said we don’t know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.”
With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution(进化).
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions.
1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show interest in different cultures.
B. To express the worries about emotions.
C. To lead in the topic of facial expressions.
D. To give an example of facial expressions.
2.The word “distinguish” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A. express B. explain C. differentiate D. develop
3.According to the passage, Dr Rachael agrees that ______.
A. facial expressions are easy to understand in Japan
B. the way expressions are understood is different in China
C. new ways of social communication can improve movements
D. it’s difficult to understand all the facial expressions of emotion
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A. We can express our emotions in four different ways.
B. Facial expressions of emotion can be discovered easily.
C. Facial expressions of emotion are from different countries.
D. Facial expressions are explained differently in different cultures.

People have lots of different thoughts that they wish to express. For many reasons, most people just keep their thoughts to themselves and never tell them to others. Another form of self-expression is the written word. For many people, it is easier for them to express their thoughts or emotions in writing, instead of speaking them out. It is an especially popular way for expression among shy and highly self-conscious (自尊) people. People′s thoughts are written down and then published(出版) so that others can read and enjoy them.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.
Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people takenapsin the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it!
If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.

D. You can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy.

B. Taking naps is helpful for people’s health in spring and summer.
C. If you take naps every day, you’ll have less risk of heart disease.
