Questions 31 to 35 are bad on the following passage:
A subject that ems to have been insufficiently studied by debtors and psychologists is the influence of geography and climate ca the psychological and physical health of mankind.

It is U that a few studies have been made. Whore all the inhabitants of a particular area enjoy exceptionally good or had health, scientists have identified contributory factors such as the prence or abnce of substances like iodine, fluoride, calcium, are iron in the water supply, are 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. Tho living in countries with long dark winters am apt to be less talkative and less vivacious (活泼) than in-habitants of countries where the climate is more equable (稳定的) And where the olive and the orange grow, there the inhabitants are cheerful, talkative, and spontaneous.

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?
