    In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the blood type {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the person was born with. People with blood type A, for example, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (consider) 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 {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (finish) what they start. 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.

    From The Reader to National Treasure, TV programs seeking to take advantage {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Chinese audience's growing interest in traditional culture had a great year in 2017.

But the fact is that shows like Chinese Poetry Conference and Letters Alive quickly climbed to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} top of the national TV ratings. The popularity of this type of program shows that many Chinese {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) eager to learn more about traditional culture.

    While Letters Alive and The Reader invite people from all walks of life {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (read) letters, essays or poems written by respectable writers and other great people, National Treasure focuses on the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (attract) stories and history behind national-level cultural relics (遗物).

    One reason for these shows' being {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (huge) successful might be their human focus. Literary works {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (share) in these shows talk about real life and they also appeal to regular viewers rather than just literature lovers. Though National Treasure focuses on introducing ancient {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (treasure), it focuses more on the human stories behind them.
