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 problem 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 will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March．

The weather can also influence intelligence．For example，in a 1983study by scientists，the IQ scores （智商分数）of some college students were very high during a storm，but after the storm，their scores were low．Storms can increase intelligence．Very hot weather，on the other hand，can lower it．Students in many schools of the United States often do badly on 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（沮丧的） 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 forgetfulness．People leave more bags and umbrellas on buses and stores on low pressure days．There is a"perfect weather"for work and health．People feel best at a temperature of about 64F with 65percent humidity（湿度）．

用细节定位法来做细节理解题。

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于中考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。

事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B）正确分析词语在句中的作用；C）熟练运用英语的句型转换；D）读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。

做细节题具体方法与步骤如下：

略读材料,大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词，如for example，first，second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。

③ 将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上，快速通篇跳读，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形扫视，直到找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
