a. 7 b. 8 c. 9 d. 11 【答案】a 【解析】细节理解题。由“ for example, a person born on april 25, 1985 would add the month (4), to the numbers of the date (2+5), plus the numbers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). in this case the total is 34, so this persons life path number is 7(3+4).”可知选a。27. to understand your abilities and how to use them in your life, you should calculate your _. a. life path number b. expression number c. birthday d. name and birth date 【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。由“your expression number describes your talents and predicts how you should use these to fulfill your destiny in life. ”可知选b。28. according to the passage, a person born on the fifteenth tends to be _. a. stubborn b. home-loving c. artistic d. imag
