In 1901, an Austrian scientist discovered that there are four types of blood. He named them A, B, AB, and O. People have one of these four types. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the second most common, and blood type AB is the least common.

    In 1927, a Japanese doctor found that people with different blood types have different personalities（性格）, too. He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and serious; people with type B blood are cheerful and outgoing; people with type O blood are generous（慷慨的）and honest; while those with type AB blood are often caring and creative.

    More recently, a doctor in the United States wrote a book that connects blood types with what people eat. The book suggests people with type O blood should eat more meat and less bread, A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables, His book, Eat Right for your type, has been a hit with people who want to lose weight. However, Dr. Peter D' Adam believes that eating food that matches a person's blood type will make the person healthier in other ways, too.

    How much do you know about "Taobao"? Do you often buy goods(商品)online? During every big festival hundreds of millions of dollars is spent online. "Who needs a shopping mall if you have Taobao? I am a Taobaoer，" says Wang Fang, 28, a writer in Beijing. Taobao, China's largest online shopping site(场所)，has become an important part of Wang Fang's life. Half of her salary(薪水)is usually spent on Taobao.

    A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the pleasure of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students and young workers. People can find almost everything they need online, from clothes to books, from candy to DVD players. And clothing and household(家用的)products are the most popular goods bought online.

    The biggest attraction for buyers is the low prices of online goods. Buyers can also check the information easily. They can compare the prices of the same kind of goods from different sellers, and choose the cheapest one. When someone asks her about the safety of online shopping, Wang Fang said ,"It's very safe and easy. If you can't receive the goods from the sellers or are not satisfied with them, the shop owners will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you give the goods back. "

    Giving Directions in Different Places

    If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get different answers.

    In Japan, people use landmarks(路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers," Go straight down to the corner. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The post office is across from the bus stop."

    In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within(在……之内) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, "Go north two miles(英里). {#blank#}2{#/blank#}"

    People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me." {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Sometimes if the person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know."{#blank#}4{#/blank#} They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can always get lost in Yucatan!

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the direction.

A. Turn east, and then go another mile.

B. But one thing will help you everywhere.

D. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.

E. Then he or she will take you through the street of the city to the post office.

Do you always care about studying and getting "A" grades in school? But in the United States, you might be considered (被认为) a bookworm if you cannot socialize (交际). Socializing is as important as your grade. If you just study all the time and don't socialize, your life won't be wonderful. So, how does one socialize with students in the US?

Lots of high schools often have soccer games during the autumn term. I didn't know anything about soccer, but I joined some of the soccer games in order to have fun with my friends. I thought I could learn the rules from others. However, to my surprise, some American students don't even know the rules but still go to the games in order to socialize. They cheer for the soccer players and have fun together.

The other common way to socialize is to join after-school clubs. You can choose clubs that you are interested in and make a lot of new friends. For example, one of my friends started a sketch (素描) club. I was interested in sketching. So I joined it. We soon became friends with each other.

Socializing is an important thing in the US. But grades are still important, too. An excellent student should have the ability to balance (平衡) his or her studying and socializing.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} It is because interest is the best teacher. You can listen to your favourite English songs or watch English films. It's a good way to learn English.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} You can follow your teachers' guidance to read English books and ask your teachers for help when you have difficulty with English. Don't be afraid of asking because your teachers are always ready to help you.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} You should speak English in class and after class. You can also make some friends from English-speaking countries. The more you practice, the better you will be.

 In a word, no pain, no gain.(一分耕耘一分收获) Keep practicing every day, and your English can become better.

Do you like English? Why or why not?(15 词以内) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
