Different weather makes people feel different. It influences(影響) 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 1983 a 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 was 10% lower. Students in many schools of the United States often do less well 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°C, people become stronger.

Low air pressure (氣壓) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There are a “good weather” for health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade.

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

One afternoon, when the lessons were over, Peter and Paul Lee didn’t go home. They stayed in school to help their teacher. Their teacher was starting a library in the school and the boys helped him to carry some books. They worked for one hour. Then the teacher said, “Thank you, boy. We’ll finish the work tomorrow. Now you must go home.”

When the boys reached home, it was seven o’clock. It was dark outside but there was a light inside their home and the door was open. They could see a man inside.

“Who can it be?” said Peter. “Mother and father have gone to do some shopping. They won’t be home until eight o’clock.”

When the man saw Peter, he looked frightened. Then he smiled and said, “Come in! You don’t know me but I am your father’s friend. He has asked me to fetch some money for him.” The man did not see Paul.

Peter went inside and began talking to the man but Paul did not. He quickly but quietly ran off to fetch a police man. He soon found one and brought him back to their home. The man was still there, but when he saw the policeman, he tried to run off. The policeman stopped him and held his arm.

Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal does not mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias(恐懼癥)much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological (心理上). It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything----a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says: “Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his other ability to deal with any challenge.” So don’t make the same old mistake  of treating them as if they’re silly for being a “scared cat”. Handling the fears is essential.

Children can be born nervous and, if you have such a baby, you’ll tend  to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, you’ll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn  that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says: “you shouldn’t force, for example, a dog anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, touch it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to touch a dog----one that’s good with children, of course----then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for ‘being brave’.”

50. Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because ______.

   A. they will not develop into phobias    B. their influence is psychological

   C. they exist widely in the world                 D. they will disappear gradually

51. If we fail to help children overcome fears, they will ______.

   A. make the same old mistake         B. overcome them by themselves

   C. experience the worst of things      D. grow up lacking self-confidence

52. According to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should ______.

   A. tell the child not to be afraid of it  B. show the child how to approach it

   C. keep the child away from it               D. ask the child to touch it

People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean(地中海)has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.

None of these, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude(獨處). They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.

57. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that____.

A. they want to see historic remains

B. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days

C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites

D. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs

58. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?

   A. Italy       B. Greece      C. France      D. Spain

59. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. All the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists.

B. Every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist.

C. Every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in the country.

D. Every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year.

60. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?

A. Polluted water.   B. Crowded buses.   C. Rainy weather.   D. Traffic jams
