【正确答案】Weather affects people in all ways. Bad weather like gale, heavy rain, and storm always makes people's daily activities difficult. People won't like to go shopping on a rainy day. They hate going around with a wet umbrella squeezing in and out of the vehicles. It has always been an intriguing subject that whether can affect our mood. One would think so, just to make an educated guess, especially if it has happened to you. When the days are extremely hot, we feel irritated or moody for no apparent reason. And what about when it is cold or rainy and gloomy and we feel sad, melancholy, even depressed, but we can't quite put your finger on it. There are studies that link weather with long periods of high temperatures to increase in crime. It is believed that people get irritable and hostile when it is extremely hot. Several law enforcement agencies have statistics that shows the correlation of the two. We can judge for ourselves — if we have ever been happy and energetic on a bright sunny day, or sad and depressed or lack of energy on winter days or rainy days, or if we have been irritable on an extremely hot day, I think, the weather does have some physical, however minimal, and/or psychological affect on our mood.

问答题
·How does climate affect the style of buildings?
【正确答案】The buildings we live and work in could be very different in the future if our climate does change as predicted. Changes in the weather, such as with rainfall, wind and the frequency of storms will affect the way our homes and offices are designed and constructed. The kind of differences can be seen by comparing homes in different regions. The buildings in windy regions are built with this in mind and are able to stand up to more severe weather. A lot of research will go into building materials before they are used in the construction process, to see whether they will stand up to the job in hand, to see if they can withstand the pressures of the weather in this country, such as roof tiles, etc.. The overlap and the pitch (the slope) of the tiles will have to be different measurements if weather conditions change as predicted. In rainy regions, buildings and roofs are designed to shed water as quickly as possible. Maybe to avoid more flooding, it would be best if buildings retain water, perhaps by an increase in roof gardens which would absorb some of the precipitation.
