danger of an earthquake comes from falling buildings and structures and flying glass, stones and other objects.

        ways are among the safest places to stand because you can brace (支撑) yourself between two walls.

Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is the language of science. You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discourages if the whole passage don"t make sense to you at first. You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it. These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult: ☆1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn"t make sense to you. ☆2. When a sentence doesn"t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly. ☆3. Look for any word you don"t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues(上下文线索). If necessary, look them up in the dictionary. ☆4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said. ☆5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words. ☆6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ides together. The stops sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one.

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.
1. The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain ______.
[ ]
A. the difference between 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. It was lightly believed. B. It was brought to 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 poplar? B. Is the personality changeable? C. Is it in your blood? D. Is it in you mind?
