Once a beggar(乞丐) had walked about five miles in the hot sun. He was quite tired and wanted to 1 . As he came to a crossing, he saw a tall tree. On one side 2 the tree he saw a board(木牌). “Take This Road To Franklin” was written on the board.
“I will rest under the 3 ,” said the beggar. “I can lie on the board while I sleep.” As the beggar 4 , a doctor rode up to him. “Wake up, beggar!” said the doctor. “I am lost. Can you tell me 5 road to take to Franklin?” “It is too hot to think,” said the beggar. “Thinking is work in such a 6 day.” “Here is a dollar,” said the doctor, “now, will you think?” “Of course, I will, sir!” said the beggar, “ 7 that road to Franklin.” After a while, a driver stopped to 8 the beggar which road to take to Franklin. “You must give me a dollar,” said the beggar, “for me to start thinking.” The driver gave him a dollar. “Turn to the left,” the beggar said.
The beggar went back to 9 . Before long a farmer woke him up.
“Which is the road to Franklin?” he asked. The beggar got 10 dollar and the farmer went along the road.
“A doctor gets paid when he doctors.” said the beggar to himself, “A driver gets paid when he drives, and a farmer gets paid when he farms. But this time a beggar got paid, and all he did was thinking!”

Weather has a strong effect(影响) on people. 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 easily have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in those states will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists, the IQ scores of some college students were very high during storm, but after the storm, their scores were low. Storms can increase intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can decrease(减少) it. Students in many schools of the United States often do badly in exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
Weather also has a strong effect on people’s feeling. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel depressed during cold weather. In hot summer weather, on the other hand, fat people may feel unhappy. At about 65F, people become stronger.
Low air pressure(气压) makes people feel free, but it also increases forgetful- ness. People leave more bags and umbrellas on buses and in stores on low pressure days. There is a“perfect weather”for work and health. People feel best at a tempera- ture of about 64F with 65 percent humidity(湿度).
Are you feeling sick, sad, tired, forgetful, or very intelligent today? The weather may be the reason.
【小题1】Intelligence may be lower______.
A.during a storm | B.when it is sunny |
C.on a very hot day | D.when you take in an exam |
A.兴奋的 | B.愉快的 | C.忧郁的 | D.担心的 |
A.both the fat and the thin are healthy |
B.the students do very well in examinations |
C.the air pressure is low |
D.the humidity is 65 percent and the temperature is about 64F |
Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model(模特).
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn’t see. I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece (侄女), you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
Emma
