Are you friendly or shy? Maybe you're romantic. You might be artistic. Where does your personality come from? Many people believe that your time of birth influences your personality. The Chinese horoscope is one tradition that connects your personality with the year of your birth. According to the Chinese horoscope, each year is represented by a different animal. There are twelve animals in the horoscope, and they repeat every twelve years. For example, the year 2000 was the year of the dragon, and the year 2012 will be the year of the dragon again. In order after the dragon, the next animals on the calendar are the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, the pig, the rat, the ox, the tiger, and the rabbit. 42 These horoscope animals influence the personality of someone born that year. Were you born in 1983? That was the year of the pig. You are honest and affectionate. Were you born in 1982, the year of the dog? Then you are hardworking, but also a little pessimistic. If you were born in 1984, the year of the rat, you are charming and generous. If you were born in 1985, the year of the ox, you are calm, sincere, and stubborn. 1986 was the year of the tiger. Tigers have a good attitude toward life and are loyal to their friends. Are you honest like a pig or generous like a rat? Are you stubborn like an ox or quiet like a rabbit? Perhaps the animal of your year has an influence on you. 36. What is this passage mainly about? A. Different kinds of animals B. Good and bad friends C. Animal caretakers D. A traditional belief 37.
