Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Is this a coincidence（巧合）, or is there some science behind this? Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.The best temperature for humans is about 22.2. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods.Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesnt love that?Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If its rainy, that wont necessarily make us unhappy. Well just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!（1）According to the study, we may feel on extremely hot days. A . happierB . more boredC . more excitedD . more pleased（2）Warm weather can help improve our moods and according to the passage.

The Best Temperature for HumansC . Go Outside on Sunny DaysD . How the Weather Affects Our Moods12. （8分）阅读理解 We sometimes say the lion is the king of the forest because it is stronger and most dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the highest animal in the land food chain(食物链). In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most of the other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.What is at the top of the worlds food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented(发明) cars. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the beasts.Peoples inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, many years ago in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat sheep. But in recent(近来) years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed(竞争) for the grass with the sheep and the cows. Much of the grassland became desert because the grass was eaten up by the rabbits.Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we love animals, we are loving ourselves.（1）Which is at the top of the food chain in the sea? A . The dolphin.B . The shark.C . Sea animals.D . Fish.（2）Why are people at the top of the worlds food chain? A . Because they can use guns.B . Because they are the biggest.C . Because they are the cleverest.D . Because they can drive cars.（3）In what way do we say peoples inventions can be sometimes dangerous? A . They can kill a lot of wild wolves.B . They can destroy(毁坏) the food chain.C . They can destroy the grassland.D . They can make wild rabbits grow bigger and bigger.（4）What is the best title for the passage? A . Peoples inventions.B . Lions and sharks.C . Food chain.D . Desert.13. （10分）阅读理解 When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents.
