I'm Jill. Mona and I are in the same class. Our school is far from her home, so she gets up very early. She gets up at 6: 00 in the morning, and then she brushes her teeth, takes a shower and has breakfast. Mona likes milk and hamburgers very much. She usually has them for breakfast. At about 7: 00, Mona goes to school by bike. She thinks riding a bike is good exercise. It takes her about 30 minutes to get to school. Mona likes English and music. She is good at English and she is in an English club. She plays the violin very well. Next week she will take part in (参加)a music festival at our school.

    Copenhagen(哥本哈根) is a city full of fairy tales (童话故事). If you want to explore it, you have to spend a long time and walk slower to enjoy yourself. Copenhagen was the first city to have a street for walkers only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.

    Walking along the river banks, you'll see the Amalienborg Palace first. The king's family is living there.

    Churches and castles show us the original(最初的)city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. But fires in 1728 and 1795 completely destroyed(摧毁)the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see today dates back to (追溯到)the 19th and early 20th centuries.

    Keep going, and you'll see the Christiansborg Palace. The town of Copenhagen began there. Then you will see Nyhavn (尼哈芬), a waterway, which was dug in 1673. When you see it, you'll understand why Hans Christian Andersen made this beautiful waterway his home. Nyhave is a peaceful and wonderful place. You'll usually see some rich people walk along here.

    If you walk there, you can enjoy the old trees, the colourful lights and the beautiful gardens. You might feel as if you were in a fairy tale.

    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 the United States. People there may have heart disease and other kinds 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 diseases 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 the 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 a 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.

    Are you feeling sick, sad, tired or very intelligent today? The weather may be the cause.
