Usually if a radio show puts you to sleep, it seems a bad program. But for John Watson, sleeping listeners are what he’s hoping for. As a young man, Mr. Watson was not feeling good. He had a heart problem. Even worse, he couldn’t sleep because he was so sensitive (敏感的) to sound. He tried many ways to relax, but they didn’t work.

Mr. Watson then decided to make his own Internet radio station. In 2014, Mr. Watson’s peaceful music station, Sleep Radio, went live on the Internet. Every week he gets four or five CDs from musicians who make peaceful music. They send him their music because they want him to play their music on the air. The station has visitors from all over the world. People have even listened to his program from Africa. Because there are no ads, Mr. Watson pays for most of the costs himself.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the U.S. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot in summer and very cold in winter. People in these states have more heart trouble when the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, the IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools in the United States often get worse on 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 unhappy during cold weather, too. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days.
Are you feeling sad, tired, or forgetful today? It may be the weather’s problem.

My Best Friend
I’m so glad to be here to talk about my best friend. My best friend is Linda. She is much quieter and taller than me. She always has long hair but I like short hair. I’m good at math but Linda does well in English and Chinese. We like to do our homework together after school and we always help each other. We both like playing tennis, too. Last year, we went fishing by the river. Suddenly, she found a little boy crying for help in the river and she jumped into the river at once. Luckily, the little boy was saved and his parents were very grateful to her. Her kindness and bravery always infect me and I like to stay with her.
As friends, I think we should help and truly care about each other.
