Întrebările 9–18

Ai completat corect – din 10.

Over 60% of 9. admit to being interested in astrology. Less than 3% of people would consult the stars before making 10. Psychologists now believe that time of birth can affect a person’s 11 development. Time of birth is not the only factor, but it is the 12 for future changes. To test his idea, the speaker decided to compare people’s 13 and zodiac sign. An amazing number of 14 were born around mid-July to mid-August. Other connections found by the study were 15. A fair number of serious sports players were born in the 16 months. The speaker thinks that the lack of professions dominated by mostly one sign is a little 17. The connections may be weak because people are removed from the 18.
