Well, it"s not as simple as you might think.
Blood is made up of different parts, such as red blood cells (红血球), white blood cells and platelets
(血小板).
Two chemical molecules (分子) on the red blood cells make people"s blood different. Scientists mark one
molecule "A" and the other molecule "B". According to which and how many molecules are on the red cell,
scientists divide blood into four types: A, B, AB and O.
Your blood type will stay the same all your life.
Scientists have been wondering if there are some links (联系) between people"s blood types and their
personalities, but they are not certain.
But some say that people with the same blood type may have things in common.

their best to finish it and do it well. Type B people always try to make themselves different from others. They
want to do things in their own way.
People with Type AB: They are maybe the strangest among all blood types. They can be both open and shy,
noisy and quiet at the same time! They are responsible and always ready to help others.
