    In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the

time of the year the person was born. From China comes the belief that the year of birth

influences one's personality. In the past century, a new belief has 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

Takehji noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. The 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 dismiss the belief as a modern-day

superstition (迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood

and personality. Generally, scientists warn against making predictions or important

decisions based on this questionable theory.

2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? [ ]

     There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to

grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to
