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 that IQ of a group of students
was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. 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 180C, people become stronger.
Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops in low pressure days.

most exciting piece was that there used to be a lot of water on Mars. The American scientists asked, "Is
there any life on Mars?" Unluckily, no life was found there, but American scientists do not lose heart.
Russian spaceships have found that it is so hot on Venus that there must be no life there.
Spaceship of the future will be bigger and "faster. They will be able to carry people for travels to the
moon or other planets.
