11．Different weather makes people feel different．It influences health，intelligence 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 heart problems in this month．In the northeast and the Middle West，it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times．People in this states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March． The weather can also influence intelligence．For example，in a 1983report by scientists，the IQs of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came，but after the strong wind，their IQs were 10% lower．The wind can help people have higher 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 in these months．They might feel unhappy in cold weather．But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer．At about 18℃，people become stronger． Low air pressure may make people forgetful．People leave more bags on buses in shops on low-air-pressure days．There is a"good weather"for intelligence and health．People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃． Are you feeling sad，tired，forgrtful，or unhappy today？It may be the weather's problem．

10．Hi，Louis! I'm writing to tell you something about the customs and festivals． Everyone loves holidays since one doesn't need to go to school or work．Although all holidays mean no school and work，but not all of them are the same．On some of them you go out with friends； on others you stay home to eat，talk，and have fun with your family．For example in the U．S．，everyone thinks New Year's Eve and New Year are both for partying with friends．Christmas is the time to stay home and exchange gifts with family members．The opposite is true in Japan though．For example，in Japan，New Year is for spending time with the family to eat，talk，have fun，and go to the temples．But Christmas is for boy and girl friends to go out and exchange gifts．Originally Christmas should be to celebrate the birth of Christ． I have been interested in foreign customs since I was little．If you learn these different holiday customs，you will learn about different histories and cultures．This is much more interesting than learning them at the library from morning to evening． Love，Sue
