高校生英語　休講期間中の課題⑨～4月23日用～

 

●次の英文を読んで、あとの問いに答えなさい。

“Can you ※guess my ※blood ※type?”

“Well, you’re a very ※serious person, so I think your blood type is A.”

“Wow! Good guess!!”
This is a ※common ※conversation in Japan. Talking about a person’s blood type is very popular among many Japanese people. They like ※judging a person’s ※personality by his or her blood type. Many books about this ※topic become ※best-sellers every year. People often find ※articles about it in magazines. Many Japanese people think that blood type ※has something to do with their personality. However in most other countries, blood type is not a common topic. A lot of people think it is ※nonsense to judge personality by blood type.
Why do Japanese people like judging personality by blood type? There are two ※possible reasons for this. One reason is the ※distribution of blood types in Japan. Japan has a more ※even distribution of blood types than other countries. ※Take a look at the ※data ※below.

Each blood type is found in a ※range of 9-38% (percent) of the ※population.
So it is easy to ※group personalities into four groups by blood type. ※On the other hand, in other countries, the distribution of blood types are not very even. The ※rates for some blood types are very high or very low. For example, in ※Bolivia, 93% of people have type O blood. In such countries, it is difficult to judge personality by blood type.
In Japan, most people know their blood types, so it is easy for them to talk about them. This is the other reason. In other countries, many people do not know their blood types. ※In fact, they first ※learn about them when they need a blood ※transfusion. If you ask a person from the United States or Europe, “What’s your blood type?” he or she may say, “Why do you want to know? Are you a doctor? Only doctors want to know that.” If people do not know their blood types, they will not use blood type to judge personality. For these two reasons, blood type is a popular way to judge personality in Japan. ※Interestingly, we also see this in South Korea.

There is an even distribution of blood types there, and most people know their blood types.
Also, people there are very interested in judging personality by blood type.
What do scientists think? Most scientists believe that there is no ※relationship between blood type and personality. Some scientists ※researched the relationship, but they could not find any ※scientific ※evidence. ※Yet some Japanese people still think that blood type is an interesting topic. Do you think that blood type can tell you something about your personality?
