24、Weather has a strong effect（影响）on people. It influences health，intelligence（智力）and feelings.
In August，it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there easily 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. Some people in those states will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example，in a 1983 study by scientists，the IQ scores of some college students were very high during a storm，but after the storm，their scores were low. Storms can increase intelligence. Very hot weather，on the other hand，can lower it. Students in many schools of the United States often do badly in 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 depressed during cold weather. In hot summer weather，on the other hand，fat people may feel unhappy. There is a "perfect weather" for people's work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

26、 Sixteen years ago, I was in a taxi. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes(刹车) and missed the other car’s back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident started yelling (喊叫) bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved (挥手) at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined (损坏) your car and sent us to the hospital!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call “ The Law of the Garbage(垃圾) Truck”.
Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage becomes more and more, they need a place to dump (倾倒) it. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy with what you did.
I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do anymore.”
Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t.
