　　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 sometimes and very cold sometimes.People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

　　Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings.Winter may be a bad time for thin people.They usually feel cold 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 "good weather" for work and health.People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

　　Sometimes people call our society a "throwaway society".That means that we're a little willing to throw away old things and buy new things.Many times，even if you no longer need something，someone else just might.For example，if your baby brother doesn't want his plastic basketball hoop(篮筐)，why not give it to another family who has a little kid?

　　Here are some other ways to reuse the things you have：

　　Use rechargeable(可再充电的) batteries for your laptops，MP3 players，cell phones，and digital cameras.

　　Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable(一次性的) paper or plastic cups.

　　Take your own bags when you go to the grocery store.

　　Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.If you don't like how your tap water tastes，a low-cost filtration(过滤) system could make a difference.Get a reusable water bottle so you can take it with you.

　　Organize an exchange among your friends.What can you exchange? Books，toys，even clothes.It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing lots of things away.
