一、单选题(共 20 道试题,共 100 分。) V 1. People enjoy talking about “firsts”. They like to remember their first love or their first car. But, not all firsts are happy ones. Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.One of history's bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos(汽车) were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in prison and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily the rider was not killed. Three years later, another automobile accident took place. It was again in New York City. A man named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in prison. Poor Mr Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.

There is a fish that does all these things. Some people visiting India first told about the walking fish. What was the fish doing in that tree? How did it get there? They thought a bird might have put it there. But the next day they were surprised again. They saw the fish come out of the water. It was hard to believe, but up the road it went. The fish used its fins and tail to push itself along. It stopped to eat worms. Afterwards it walked over to a tree. Up, up it went. When it got high in the tree, it rested. The people couldn't wait to tell others about this strange fish. They told how it looked. The walking fish was not too big, they told the others. The one they saw was under a foot long. It was dark brown in color and had spots. They also noticed that it had big eyes.

12. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. 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 at some times and cold at other times. People in these 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 on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August). Weather also has a strong effect on people's feeling. 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. At about 65℉, people become stronger. Low air pressure makes people feel free, but it also increases forgetfulness. People leave more bags and umbrellas on buses and in stores on low pressure days. There is a “perfect weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 64℉ with 65 percent humidity. Are you feeling sick, sad, tired, forgetful, or very intelligent today? The weather may be the reason. 问题:In “perfect weather” of 64℉,( ).
A. people are forgetful
