One day last winter, my dad and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏表演). Finally, there was only one family in front of us. There were eight children. All were perhaps under the age of 12. You could tell that they didn't have much money. Their clothes were not expensive but clean. All of them were standing in line, two by two behind their parents. I could feel that the children had never seen the circus before .They were very excited. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly answered, "Eight children's tickets and two adults' tickets so that I can take my family to the circus" The ticket lady answered the price. The man’s wife looked sad. The father asked again in surprise, "How much did you say?” The ticket lady said the price again. The man didn't have enough money. How could he tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money? At that time my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out twenty dollars and dropped it on the ground (In fact, we were not rich). My dad picked up the money and said to the father, “Excuse me, sir. This fell out of your pocket. "The man knew what happened at once. He looked at my dad and took my dad’s hands. He was so thankful that he couldn't say a word. My dad and I went back home. We didn't see the circus, but I would never forget that day.

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 1983 report by scientists, IQ(1 F) 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. At about 18℃,people become stronger.

Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and In shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about18℃.

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