Do you know how weather affects our lives? Well, it affects where we go, what we do, and what we wear. And it also affects how we feel and behave. It is a big part of our lives!

We often use weather language to describe how we feel. For example, if we are feeling ill, we say we are “under the weather”. If we are feeling stressed and busy, we can say that we are “snowed under”. We use “bad” weather (rainy, stormy, etc.) to describe a bad mood, and “good” weather (sunny, warm, etc.) to describe a good mood.

And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel! For example, sunlight helps our body to produce vitamin D. This vitamin can improve our mood. But some parts of the world get little sunlight in winter, so people can feel unusually sad then. However, when it is hot and sunny, some people may get angry easily, too! Scientists are still studying how the weather changes the way people feel and behave.

These days, many of us spend less time outside than in the past. Getting no fresh air or sunlight and spending too much time inside can make us feel down. It is very important to go outside once in a while, whatever the weather, rain or shine!

20. What can weather affect according to the first paragraph?

A. Our activities, habits and feelings.

B. Our actions, habits and clothing.

C. Our actions, clothing and feelings.

21. What does the underlined phrase “snowed under” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Feeling ill. B. Feeling stressed and busy. C. Feeling cold.

22. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Why people feel sad in winter.

B. How sunlight improves our mood.

C. How the weather changes our feelings.
