Weather has a strong effect(影響)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 very hot at some times and very cold at other times. Some 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 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 in 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 depressed during cold weather. In hot summer weather,on the other hand,fat people may feel unhappy. There is a "perfect weather" for people's work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

China’s national anthem, March of the Volunteers, is a song that we learn at the beginning of primary school and sing at every flag-raising ceremony. And now, there’s even a law to protect it.

Last September, the government passed the National Anthem Law, which became effective(生效)

from Oct.1, 2017. It states how we should sing or play the song, requiring all of us to behave towards it politely.

Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the song’s spirit and history. Moreover, the law requires us to be serious when we are singing the song. We can’t joke about it or change the song’s words or music. If someone breaks the law, he or she can be detained for up to 15 days, or face further punishment in more serious situations. The national anthem is different from other songs – it is the symbol of our country.

Many foreign countries also have laws for their national anthems. For example, American school children should put their right hand over their heart while singing their country’s anthem at school. In Russia, the national anthem must be played on television and radio before the start and end of broadcasting. And in the Philippines, people are required to sing the national anthem with feelings when it’s played in public.

1.How long has the National Anthem Law become effective till now?

A. For more than one year. B. For just half a year.

C. For less than 9 months. D. For about 10 months.

2.Why must we be serious when singing the song?

A. Because the school asks us to. B. Because it has a long history.

C. Because we are good students. D. Because it’s our country’s symbol.

A. Kept in a police station. B. Forced to work.
