Weather has a great influence (影响) on people. It influences people’s health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot in the southern part of America. People there may have heart disease and other kind of health problems during the month. In the Northeast and Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these places may have heart disease in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1982 study by scientists, the IQ scores of students were very high during a storm, but after the storm their IQ scores were lower than usual level (水平). So storms can increase (提高) intelligence. But very hot weather can lower it. Students in the United States often do badly in exams in the hot months of the year.
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 and they may feel unhappy during cold weather. In hot summer weather, on the other hand, fat people may feel unhappy. The summer heat may make them exhausted and angry.

In the southern part of the United States, it is very hot at sometime and very cold at other time.

The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower.

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold and unhappy during these months. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.

Recently, researchers have found that dolphins know their own names much like people. Dolphins talk to one another with whistles (口哨) and calls. Scientists have known that the animals also use unusual whistles to name each other. They had thought that dolphins only heard each other’s voices. However, the scientists didn’t know that dolphins listen for their names too.
To test this idea, the researchers caught 14 dolphins and recorded their name calls. The scientists then copied each dolphin’s voice. When the changed recordings were played, the dolphins replied strongly to the names of their families and group members. They didn’t care about the names of dolphins they did not know.
Dolphins live in large groups that grow and change. Each dolphin’s unusual whistle helps it find a friend or a family member easily, or call for help. Understanding their calls need learning. Most animals don’t have this skill except (除了) humans, elephants and bats.
Elephants, for example, communicate (交流) with sound. Their sounds can be heard by other elephants miles away. Dolphins, too, communicate with each other like this. Elephants also communicate by moving their head, feet and trunk. In much the same way, dolphins communicate by their movements. Touching each other is a way for dolphins to express friendship. Elephants also communicate by their great sense of smell. They can know other elephants by the smells they have in a short time.
Why do dolphins and elephants share the gift of communication Scientists think it may be because they are social and smart animals. Both have strong family relationship (关系). Now, scientists want to know if they also have nicknames.
