show its face，is setting at 4 pm. its no wonder people in the street look sad.but according to most of the research on the connection between weather and mood(情绪)，they shouldnt be. weather has little effect on mood.when you tell people this，though，they dont believe it. most of us think the weather has quite a strong effect on our mood. many think that the rain and cold weather dejects us and the sun and warmth cheers us up.so why dont we see this effect in the research？thats the question a new study by klimstra et al.tries to answer with a group of young people and their mothers. in fact，klimstra et al.found four different groups：1unaffected：about half the people in their study fell into this group.for these people it didnt matter that much whether it was raining or sunny，hot or cold，their mood was mostly unaffected.2summer lovers：heres the group youd expect. for these people，their mood improved with less rain，more sun and higher temperatures(15% of young people and 30% of their mothers)3summer haters：heres the group of people you hear less about. these were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain，less sun and lower temperatures (27% of the young people and 12% of their mothers)4rain haters：this groups mood didnt change with the temperature，sunshine or the wind；they just hated the rain(8% of young people and 12% of their mothers)this helps explain why studies keep finding that weather doesnt have much effect on mood：its because were different and these differences are mostly being averaged out.32its found in the study that _. aweather has a strong effect on moodbcold wind and rain makes us look sadcthe sun and warmth cheers us updmood is little affected by weather33the underlined word “dejects” in the third paragraph probably means _. amake sb. happy bmake sb. sadcmake sb. angry dmake sb.silly34from the four different groups we can learn _. aabout half the people belong to summer loversbmore than one third of the people are summer haterscfew of young people and their mothers like the raindmore young people are unaffected than rain haters35what is the best title for the passage?adoes the
