A subject which seems to have been insufficiently studied by doctors and psychologists is the influence of geography and climate on the psychological and physical health of mankind. There seems no doubt that the general character of the landscape, the relative length of day and night, and the climate must all play a big part in determining what kind of people we are.
It is true that a few studies have been made. Where all the inhabitants of a particular area enjoy exceptionally good or bad health, scientists have identified contributory factors such as the presence or absence of substances like iodine, fluoride, calcium, or iron in the water supply, or perhaps types of land that provide breeding places for pests like mosquitoes or rats.
Moreover, we can all generalize about types of people we have met. Those living in countries with long dark winters are apt to be less talkative and less vivacious than inhabitants of countries where the climate is more equable. And where the olive and the orange grow, there the inhabitants are cheerful, talkative, and spontaneous.
But these commonplace generalizations are inadequate: the influence of climate and geography should be studied in depth. Do all mountain dwellers live to a ripe old age? Does the drinking of wine, rather than beer, result in a sunny and open temperament? Is the strength and height of one of the Kenyan tribes due to their habitual drinking of the blood of cows?
We are not yet sure of the answers to such questions, but let us hope that something of benefit to mankind may eventually result from such studies.

Professor Martin’s report says that children who
attend a number of different schools,because their parents
have to move around the country,probably make slow progress in their studies.
There are also signs,says Professor Martin,that
an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.
The professor says,“It’s true,my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. But our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings. ”
Captain Thomas James,an
Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two,said,“I’ve
never heard of such rubbish. Taking me for example. no harm is done to the
education of my children,who change schools regularly—if they keep to the
same system,as in our Army schools. In my experience—and
I’ve known quite a few of them—Army children are as well adjusted as any others,if
not more so. What the professor doesn’t appear to appreciate is the fact that
in such situation children will adapt much better than grown-ups.”
When this reached Professor Martin,he said that at no time had his team suggested that all children were backward or mentally affected in some way,but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency.
“Our findings show that while the very bright
children can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general
progress in studies,the majority of children suffer from constantly
having to enter a new learning situation.”

A. it may not be good for children to change
schools too often
B. parents should not move around the country
C. changing schools is the reason of children
making slow progress

2. According to the
passage,Professor Martin's personal feeling.
A. is the opposite of what his report has shown
B. is in a way supported by his research
C. has played a big part in his research
D. is based on the experience of his own
children
3.From the passage,we can conclude that Captain James’ children_____.
A. have been affected by changing schools
B. go to ordinary state schools
C. can get used to the Army school education
D. discuss their education regularly with their father
4.About children and

easily
