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 forgetfulness. 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 temperature of about 64F with 65 percent humidity ( 湿度).

Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other products ；they give him shade ；and they help to prevent droughts and flood.
Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. He wants to make money from trees. He has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new tress. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil to allow the rain to sink in. And it can prevent the soil from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing left but desert.
Two thousand years ago a rich and strong country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to make itself an empire. It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it
grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation（饥荒） .
57.The most important service of trees to man is that_______.
A. they give them wood and other products
B. they give him shade
C. they help him prevent droughts and floods
D. they help him make money
58. In many parts of the word forests slowly disappear because________.
A. many trees have been cut down by man
B. man has not planted enough trees
C. new trees are not looked after carefully
D. all the above
59. Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because________.
A .roots of trees break up the soil
B .there is too much rain
C .there are no longer tress to keep rain and protect the top-soil
D .strong winds bring a lot of sand
60.The country mentioned （提到的）in the passage faced floods and starvation
because .
A. it set up an empire
B. the empire fell to pieces
C. it built too many warships
D. it lost its trees
61. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Trees and Man
B. How Trees Prevent Droughts and Floods
C. How an Empire Fell
D. A Story of Trees.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping —watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe ( 欧洲). In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping “junk (垃圾) on the air ”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality ( 质量) of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality
of the things on TV .
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the
things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or
see in person.
62. Teleshopping is _______in Europe.
A. not popular
B. growing
C. not possible
D. more popular

D. think the things sold on TV are bad quality
65. In Germany, teleshopping may ________.
A. help businessmen get more money
B. keep the shops open longer
