    There were many problems when people first moved into the cities in the US and UK. Many lived in bad conditions in poor housing. The governments on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} sides of the Atlantic, worked to improve the living conditions of city dwellers (居民). For a while, especially in the U.S., city life came to be seen as the best and most exciting way to live. Living in the rural areas was regarded as boring. Who wanted to be struggling to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a living in the country doing hard agricultural labor?

    Many in the UK believed that they had a much better chance of improving themselves in the city. It would be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (easy) to move from the ranks of manual laborers to the middle classes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they could get better jobs and education. However, Britain has always had a deep love of the beauty and peacefulness of the countryside. The upper classes have always liked to have a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} both in London and in the country. They still wanted to go to the country {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the summer.

    Over the last two generations in the UK and US, industrialization has slowed down and more people have become {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (dissatisfy) with life in urban areas. They are concerned about overcrowding, too much traffic and pollution. What most people want now is a life in the country. They want to move to a village, small town or small holding outside of the city {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they can have more space and some peace and quiet. Developments in transportation {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that people can continue longer distance, so more people are living as far as they can from urban centers.

People also believe that village and small town life is better for children. Many say that the schools,

    In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the blood type {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the person was born with.

Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.

    The blood-type personality theory {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (start) in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi noticed personality similarities and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (different) among his workers. This idea soon went out of fashion, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it 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. Most Asians might believe {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the blood-type theory, but for many it seems {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (harm) and not something to be taken too seriously.

    Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely dismiss (摒弃) the belief as a modern-day superstition (迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (connect) between blood and personality. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (general), scientists warn against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.
