(40 points)Text 1Theres something about the New Year that always makes me read my horoscope (星象) to see what lies ahead. I dont believe in any of it really but theres comfort in being told that the next 12 months will bring health, wealth and happiness. Well, its usually over optimistic, isnt it?There are many other people who are also skeptical about astrology (占星术) and its belief that knowledge of the position of the stars and planets can help us understand our personality or predict human affairs. However, despite the lack of scientific evidence in its favour, astrology has been around for thousands of years, and is believed by millions of people in both the West and the East.The West has its star signs every month and the East has its animals every year. Im a Pig. When I first found out I was a Pig person I was a little disappointed, and my friends (powerful Dragons, friendly Dogs and fierce Tigers) laughed. Pigs have a bad reputation people think theyre dirty animals that smell horrible.In the Chinese zodiac (生肖) there are 12 animals and according to one legend, when Buddha left the earth, only 12 animals came to say goodbye to him. As a reward Buddha named a year after each of the animals in the order that they came to him, and the pig came last. So I thought I was unlucky being a Pig but this isnt so.It appears that Pigs are kind people who are helpful and giving. They tend to make good friends as they are faithful, thoughtful and trusting. Pigs are happy, optimistic people and have lots of funthat sounds OK to me! However, Pigs are often nave (幼稚的) and apparently its easy to cheat a Pig. They are also likely to react without thinking, and theyre not that great with money either. Pigs, it seems, get along with Sheep and Rabbits but, interestingly, not other Pigs, who they should stay clear of.1、Finding out that he was a Pig person, the author felt _.Aa little unhappy Bvery excitedCquite proud Da little surprised2、What is the legend mentioned in Paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe lonely life of Buddha. BThe features of Pig people.CThe advantage
