People often ask what the weather is like in Australia. The answer is that it changes a lot! Why? Because Australia is such a large country, weather in different parts is different in the country.

The northern parts of Australia are warm to hot all year round because it is closer to the equator (赤道). In the north, summer is also the rainy season.

The areas along the coast around Sydney are warm in winter with the lowest temperatures about 50 to 60°F. Summer there is warmer and the temperature is about 80°F.

However, if you think all parts of the country are warm all year round, you’ll be wrong. Some parts in Australia are very cold during the winter.

In fact many people do not know that there are ski resorts(滑雪胜地) in the mountains of Australia.

八年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

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?
