I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared. Her mother said, "Don't be afraid, honey. Take courage!" "What's courage?" she asked, running to her mother's bed. "Courage is the brave breath," her mother answered. "Mum, do you have courage?" "Certainly." The girl held out her little hands, saying, "Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me." After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists nervously, afraid that the "breath of courage" would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear. Her mother said to herself, "It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of 'breath' to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost." In fact, mostly, what we are terrified of is nothing but the fear in our mind. Who we should defeat is nobody but ourselves. Question: The writer mainly wants to tell us that _ . Options: A: adults are always brave enough B: children learn to be brave quickly C: the fear in one's mind is the real problem D: the mother can deal with anything with breath

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: 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 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. _ 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 . 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. Question: Which of the following is true according to the passage? Options: 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.
