Reading comprehension.(11515)AIn the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted to the time of the year the person was born. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences ones personality. In the past century, a new belief has arisen: the idea that personality is related to ones ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quite, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.The blood-type personality theory started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takeshi noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. This idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between 13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely dismiss the belief as a modern-day superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists warn against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.56.The writer used blood type A and O as an example to explain_.A. the different between to two blood typesB. the relationship between the two blood typesC. the influence of blood type on ones behaviorD. the connection between personality and blood type57.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A.

Most scientists in Asia dont believe in the theory.B. The blood-type theory began in Japan in the 1970s.C. The blood-type personality theory is about blood typeD. People dont change their personality to match the theory.59.What is the best title for the passage?A. Is the blood-type theory popular?B. Is the personality changeable?C. Is it in your blood?D. Is it in you mind?BYears ago a John Hopkins professor gave a group of graduate students this task: Go to the slums. Ke 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and research into their background and environment. Then edict their chances for the future.The students, after consulting(查阅)social statistics(统计数据), talking to the boys, and compiling (汇编)much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in prison.Twenty-five years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the same area. Some of the boysby then menwere still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but they got in touch with 180 of original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding(滋生)place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The researchers were continually told: ”Well, there was a teacher”They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted(发挥)this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remember her?“No,” she said, ”no I really couldnt.” And then, thinking back over the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her questioners:” I loved those boys.”70.What were a group of graduate students asked to do?A.

This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.Today, the
