As we celebrate the Year of the Sheep,some of you may have heard some superstitions(迷信) about this animal sign.
It is(66)said that people born in the Year of the Sheep have a difficult life.That's probably (67)because sheep are gentle and kind.Therefore,many Chinese people would try to (68)avoid getting married or giving birth during the Year of the Sheep.But is this all really true?
Of course,it doesn't make sense,according to folklore expert Wang Juan.In ancient China,yang was connected to good (69)luck and happiness.In the book Shuowenjiezi-the first Chinese dictionary to (70)explain characters-the writer Xu Shen from Eastern Han dynasty said that"yang"means"xiang".And now many Chinese characters with"yang"also mean (71)something good,for example,"xian"and"mei".
Today many(72)famous people who were born in the Year of the Sheep live very good (73)lives,including US Microsoft founder Bill Gates,Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang and singer Gem Tang from Hong Kong.
What kind of life you will have (74)depends on many things,including how hard you study now and the career you want when you grow up.In reality,animal signs are of little(75)importance.The really important thing for you is to develop a good personality along with your own skills.
