Evaluations are being made about your luck, your personality, future development and how you will do in a given year. So what is the Chinese zodiac, exactly? It's a 12-year cycle labeled ( 标记) with animals, starting with a Rat and ending with a Pig. For example, if you were born in 2004, you are a Monkey.   The Chinese believe some animals are luckier than the others, such as the Dragon. Unlike in Western tradition, the Chinese Dragon stands for power, strength and wealth. It's everyone's dream to have a Dragon baby. Ma Yun's parents must have been very proud. And they are not the only ones. In 2012, the Year of the Dragon, the birthrate in China increased by about 5%. That means another one million more babies. With a traditional preference for baby boys, the boy-girl ratio that year was 120 to 100. When those Dragon boys grow up, they will face much more serious competition in love and job markets.   According to the BBC and Chinese government reports, January 2015 saw a peak of cesarean sections ( 剖腹产术高峰). Why? That was the last month for the Year of the Horse. It's not because they like horses so much, it's because they try to avoid having unlucky Goat babies.   Tiger is another unwelcome animal, because of its dangerous and unstable ( 不稳定的) personality. Many Chinese places saw a considerable decline of birthrate during those years. Perhaps one should consider zodiac in a different way, as those Tiger and Goat babies will face much less competition. Maybe they are the lucky ones. I went through the Forbes top 300 richest people in the world, and it's interesting to see the most unwelcome two animals, the Goat and Tiger, are at the top of the list, even higher than the Dragon. So maybe we should consider that it's much better to have less competition. 1. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Dragon boys are much more competitive when growing up.B. There were about one million dragon babies in 2012.C. There were 20% more boys than girls born in 2012.D. Ma Yun is proud that he is a Dragon.2. Why was there a peak of cesarean sections in January 2015?A. People wanted to have Horse babies very much.B. People considered Goat babies to be unlucky.C. It's the first month of the year.D. People tried to avoid dangers.3. What does the underlined word “decline” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Drop.              B. Need.                     C. Increase.          D. Change.4. What does the author say about Tiger and Goat babies?A. They have fewer competitors. B. They are difficult to get along with.C. They will be more popular in job markets.D. They will become richer than Dragon babies.BMaaseik, a city in Belgium, has opened an exhibition of about 200 relics and treasures of the Tang Dynasty (618 CE -907 CE), showing China's golden age of ancient civilisation(文明).
