According to scientists’ research, the month in which babies are born could affect them in some ways.

Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius (Jan. 21st—Feb. 19th) may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn. Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother’s exposure to sunlight in pregnancy (怀孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in the body. The lack (缺乏) of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on health.

Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin”. It has a good effect on health. A study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.

Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, “These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.”

1.A child’s season of birth can affect all the following things EXCEPT ________ according to the first two paragraphs.

A. his health　　 B. his height

C. his length of life　　 D. his quality of being clever

2.What does the underlined word “exposure” mean in Chinese?

A. 偏爱　　 B. 抗拒　　 C. 过敏　　 D. 暴露

3.What can we know about vitamin D according to the passage?

A. It comes from sunlight.　　 B. It helps people live longer.

C. Sunlight prevents its production.　　 D. It does harm to people’s health.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Women should get enough sunlight in pregnancy.

B. Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born in autumn.

C. People born in May will live longer than those born in October.

D. Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in them.

In the west , some people believe that people’s character 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 character . In the past century, a new belief has come up, the idea that character 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 out-going, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people doubt whether it is true.

The blood-type character theory(理论)started in Japan in 1927, when Furukawa Takeji noticed character similarities and differences among persons.The idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshiitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged 13 and 64 believing in the blood-type character connection.

Though most Asians might believe in it, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken seriously. It is also possible that people are easy to change their characters to match the blood-type theory. Is the belief true? In the 1980s, the scientists in Asia largely negated the belief as a superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and character. Generally, scientists are against making important decisions based on this theory.

1.What does the underlined word “predicted ” in the passage mean Chinese?

A. 预测 B. 提醒 C. 预告

2.In which country person predicted his character according to the year of his birth?

A. In western countries B. In China C. In Japan

3.According to the blood-type theory ,what is the person with blood type A like?

A. A person with blood type A can have many friends.

B. A student with blood type A may usually get good marks.

C. A person with blood type A is fond of talking with others.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The blood-type character theory(理论)was started by a scientist named Toshiitaka Nomi.

B. After about 10 years,scientists in Asia proved the blood-type theory was wrong.

C. After some young Koreans took to the theory, 76 percent of Korean teenagers believed in it.

5.The best title for this passage should be _____.

A. Information about different blood types.

B. The connection between blood-types and characters.

C. The development of the character theory.

Answer the questions according to the passage.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his or her daily life, he or she might write them in the diary (日记). However, now a teenager with the same problems might go online and write them in the blog (博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. They both tell what happened to the writer that day. So what makes a blog different from a diary?

The biggest difference is that a blog is the one much more people can read than a diary. When I was at my sister’s age, I wrote about the same things, but in my diary. And I would put my diary in a safe place because I was afraid that others might read it.

Now teenagers choose to write in blogs because they know their friends will read what they write. If my sister writes in her blog “Nobody cares about me”, her best friends will quickly read and tell her how much they like her.

If people are caring about what they write, blogs are a very good way to write about the everyday life. However, I still like the old diary better.

1.What might a teenager do when he or she had some problems in the daily life years ago?

___________________________________________________

2.In what way are a diary and a blog almost the same?

____________________________________________________

3.Why do teenagers choose to write in blogs now?

______________________________________________________

4.What’s the biggest difference between a blog and a diary?

________________________________________________________

5.Which do you like better, a diary or a blog?

________________________________________________________

China has ended its one-child policy(政策) in 2015. The government announced it would now allow all couples to have two children. The one-child policy was a population control measure that was introduced in 1979. Policy makers hoped to control the country’s population to avoid high rates of poverty(贫穷).

The new two-child policy should give a huge economic(经济) push for China and prevent China from becoming an ageing society. China’s labor(劳动力) force peaked at 940 million in 2012. This fell to 930 million in 2014 and is expected to fall by 29 million by 2020. Predictions are that there will be an average of 2.5 million extra newborns per year. This will provide more workers and an extra $11.8 billion in annual GDP. The new policy will affect around 100 million people.

1.When did the one-child policy begin in China?

A. 1979　　 B. 2012　　 C. 2015　　 D. 2017

2.Which of the following is NOT true about the two-child policy?
