In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was bor. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one's personality. In the past century, a new belief ahs arisen: the idea that personality is related to one's ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, 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(理论) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi 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 between13 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 think the belief as a modern-day superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists are against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.

(1)、The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain ________.

A、the difference between the two blood types B、the relationship between the two blood types C、the influence of blood type on one's behavior D、the connection between personality and blood type
(2)、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? 

A、They don't believe it. B、It was brought back by them. C、They liked and accepted it. D、They stole the idea from others
(3)、Which of the following is true according to the passage? 

A、Most scientists in Asia don't believe in the theory. B、The blood-type theory began in Japan in the 1970s. C、The blood-type personality theory is about blood type. D、People don't change their personality to match the theory.
(4)、What is the best title for the passage? 

A、Is the blood-type theory changeable ? B、Is the personality changeable? C、Is it in your blood? D、Is it in you mind?

Look at the pictures of cute rabbits dressed in lion dance clothes. Are they toys? Well, these cute"rabbits"are actually huabobo. It has been a popular traditional food in Shandong Province for more than 300 years.

Usually, huabobo is bigger than bun(馒头). It's normally sweet in taste. It has become a necessary part of some important events, including birthdays, holidays, weddings and so on. After making dough(生面团), people shape the dough into ducks, dragons, peaches, etc, before having them steamed(蒸). Then they color them.

Huabobo is believed to carry peace, long life, wealth and best wishes. For example, rabbit huabobo is given to girls to wish them as lovely and clever as a white rabbit, while Huabobo in the shape of strong animals is usually given to a boy with a wish that he will be as strong as a tiger or others. And yuanyang huabobo shows the wish that a newly-married couple will live ha ppily together to an old age and the peaches for long life.

Huabobo tastes good, but most huabobo shops only sell it in their hometown. Zang Chaiyuan, a 25-year-old girl from Yantai noticed that. She wanted to introduce huabobo to more people. She has created new shapes very lively. She also uses natural fruit and vegetable juice to color huabobo, along with milk, eggs, and a bit of sugar. What's more, she has found a way to keep huabobo for over two months, making it easier to send it to other cities.

With her creative works, Zang has managed to bring new life into the traditional huabobo so that more young people can taste and understand this traditional food.

Every Saturday evening, many people come to an open square in a small town in Xi' an. They want to watch Chen Kun and his friends put on a play. During the play, the audience (观众) can hear them, but they can not see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet play (皮影戏).

Shadow puppets are made of hard leather (皮革). The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.

During a shadow puppet play, Chen stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Chen and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets' shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.

Shadow puppet plays are a traditional Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. To encourage more young people to learn the skills of shadow puppet plays, Chen provides training courses for students to teach them how to make shadow puppets.

Chen and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.

My father was busy fixing Belinda's spaceship all afternoon. In the evening, I went to the landing place. "Dear Father," I said politely. "Have you found Belinda's parents yet?"

"Not yet, my dear." He shook his head.

I felt relaxed. I didn't want to meet Belinda's parents—they might be ten times as loud and bossy as she was.

But Belinda had followed me.

"Not yet?" she shouted. "Why not? I'll send them a message! They'll listen to me!"

Belinda ran to the radio. She shouted into it so loudly that I had to cover all my four ears. "Mummy! Daddy! I'm on an awful spaceship full of purple people! Come and find me now!"

"Poor Belinda!" my sister came and said. "Her parents must be missing her."

"Huh!" I snorted (发出哼声). "Missing her? You're joking! Who would want such a bossy kid back? They probably lost her on purpose."

Belinda's face clouded. I thought she was going to shout again, but she didn't. Instead, something very strange happened — her eyes began to water!

"Oh, help!" said Roa. "Is she dying?"

I felt terrible. "Don't die, Belinda! I didn't mean it."

Then Belinda opened her mouth wide and shouted, "What if it's true? What if they've gone away and left me here forever?"

We were all so busy comforting Belinda that we didn't notice the soft knock of a ship landing outside. We didn't see two tall people come out of it until Belinda ran out in excitement.

"Mummy! Daddy!"

Belinda's parents were even uglier than she was, but they looked polite. "Hello, dear," the female said. "We're sorry we kept you waiting."

We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship. "Goodbye!" shouted Belinda. "Goodbye! Thanks for taking care of our baby girl!" said her father.

None of us answered. We waved (挥手) cheerfully as the ship took off and went far away into the stars.

We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why a leaf changes color?Where do the yellows and oranges come from?To answer those questions,we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. 

Leaves are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖),a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing. 

A chemical called "chlorophyll(叶绿素)" in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumn comes,the days get shorter and shorter,and trees "know" it's time to begin getting ready for winter. 

During winter,there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their foodmaking factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves,we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. 

The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees,like maples(枫树),sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn.
