Different weather makes people feel different． 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 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 I8℃．

Have you ever thought of owning a garden of yours? It must be a very nice experience for you !
Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn't rain for a few days and the soil feels dry, water your garden. Be sure the water gets all the way down to the roots of the plants, but don't water too much.
Tall plants need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks, they'll fall over. For example, when your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall, it's time to push a long stick into the gronnd next to each plant.
If' you have planted seeds(种子) , you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away so that the plants left will have room to grow.
If you've planted lettuce seeds, wait until the baby plants are about l. 5 inches tall. Then, pull some of the plants out so that you leave 8 inches between plants.
Now that you've done all the work, it's time to enjoy what you've got. Pick a red tomato. Eat it while it's still warm from the sun. Or cut it up and put it in a salad. If you have more vegetables from your garden than you and your family can eat, give them to friends and neighbors. It's fun to share the joy you get from your garden with others.
So you can see, work will always make you happy.
