"What's your zodiac sign(星座)?"
"It's Virgo."
"Then you must be an organized person."
This kind of conversation is common among young people.They believe zodiac signs can show people's personality.This idea actually comes from astrology(占星术).It's an ancient belief system,saying the positions of stars and planets at your birth can shape your personality.Like the Chinese zodiac,astrology groups people into twelve zodiac signs.However,the Chinese zodiac is based on birth years,while astrology is based on birth dates.But is it real science?The answer is NO.
There are two main reasons for this myth(迷思).First,there is no physical connection between planets and our lives—planets are too far away to influence us.Second,the Barnum effect(巴纳姆效应)explains why people still believe in it:astrology uses unclear and positive words.They fit almost everyone.People usually remember the true words and forget the ones not fitting them,creating a false feeling of truth.
To prove this,physicist Shawn Carlson did a famous study.He asked 30 top experts in astrology to match people's birth dates with their real personalities.However,the results showed these experts got only about 30 percent of them correct.This was no better than guessing.This study clearly showed that astrology cannot predict or describe true personality.
In short,astrology can be harmless fun and a good conversation starter.But it is not science.Never let a zodiac sign decide who you are.Your personality comes from what you are born with,your experiences,and the environment—not the stars.
(1)、What does astrology use to group people?A、Birth years. B、Birth dates. C、Personalities.(2)、According to the Barnum effect,why do people believe in astrology?A、Because it gives exact and clear answers. B、Because planets can influence people's lives. C、Because they focus on the words fitting them.(3)、Why does the writer mention Shawn Carlson's study?A、To introduce how to do a scientific study. B、To prove astrology is not based on science. C、To show the experts get only a few things right.(4)、According to the passage,what can influence personality?①zodiac signs ②experiences ③environment ④stars
A、①② B、②③ C、③④(5)、In which part of the magazine can we read this passage?A、
B、

Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year to find food or in search of warmer weather.This1 travel is called migration.One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.Every autumn,a large number of them start a2 and hard journey,covering about 4,000 kilometers.3 , until recently no one knew how they successfully did this.
A team of scientists has now found the answer through their research.The monarch is able to tell the time of day.It can also use its eyes to measure the4 of the sun.These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to5 the way to go.Finally,it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
Just as we have unlocked the mystery of the monarch's amazing6 , the butterfly is in serious trouble now.Its population has dropped by as much as 90% in the last few years.Sadly,7 activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.In many places,people are destroying the natural environment,leaving the monarch no place to rest.Besides,8 materials are killing the plants that the monarch caterpillars(幼虫)feed on.The good news is that9 the research,people have paid more attention to the monarch than ever before.The more we know about it,the greater the chance it will10 .And it will keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.

We are always using body language in our daily lives. When we talk with someone, we may use more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. That's why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly.
Pointing to one part of the body can have different meanings in different cultures.For example, in the USA, people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe, it means"He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head." In our Chinese culture, nodding our heads means"yes" and shaking our heads means"no". However, in some parts of India, Greece and Turkey, they mean opposite(相反的) things. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger while keeping the other three straight, it means"Everything is all right." However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means"You' re worth zero." In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture, as it is considered very rude.
The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the"V" sign meant"peace". However, during World War II, it meant"victory". In Greece, it is an insulting sign. It is very impolite of you to make this gesture in front of a Greek woman.
Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.

C、People speak different languages in different countries. D、People can understand each other very well in different countries.(2)、What does the gesture of making a circle with the thumb and the second finger while keeping the other three straight mean in France?A、Everything is all right. B、You are very clever. C、You are worth zero. D、It is a polite greeting.(3)、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A、Body language plays an important role in our lives. B、The meaning of the"V" sign doesn't change over time. C、In some parts of Greece, shaking head means"yes". D、Pointing to one's head has different meanings in the USA and Europe.(4)、What does the underlined word"insulting" in Paragraph 3 mean?A、Respective. B、Winning. C、Rude.
