In Japan, a person’s blood type is popularly believed to decide his/her temperament and personality. Type-A people are generally considered sensitive perfectionists and good team players, but over-anxious. Type Os are curious and generous but stubborn. Type ABs are artistic but mysterious and unpredictable, and type Bs are cheerful but eccentric, individualistic, and selfish. Though lacking scientific evidence, this belief is widely seen in books, magazines, and television shows. The blood-type belief has been used in unusual ways. The women’s softball team that won gold for Japan at the Beijing Olympics is reported to have used blood-type theories to customize training for each player. Some kindergartens have adopted teaching methods along blood group lines, and even major companies reportedly make decisions about assignments based on an employee’s blood type. In 1990, Mitsubishi Electronics was reported to have announced the formation of a team composed entirely of AB workers, thanks to “their ability to make plans.” The belief even affects politics. One former prime minister considered it important enough to reveal in his official profile that he was a type A, while his opposition rival was type B. In 2011, a minister, Ryu Matsumoto, was forced to resign after only a week in office, when a bad-tempered encounter with local officials was televised. In his resignation speech, he blamed his failings on the fact that he was blood type B. The blood-type craze, considered simply harmless fun by some Japanese, may manifest itself as prejudice and discrimination. In fact, this seems so common that the Japanese now have a term for it: bura-hara, meaning blood-type harassment. There are reports of discrimination leading to children being bullied, ending of happy relationships, and loss of job opportunities due to blood type.

請運用「文本證據檢索」與「歸因分析」的閱讀技巧，特別檢視文中第三段關於政治人物的實例：當一位大臣因不當言行而被迫辭職（resigned）時，他刻意將自己的「失敗」（failings）歸咎於哪一種特定血型？此外，該血型在第一段中被賦予的性格特質，與後續提到的社會偏見及「血型騷擾」有何潛在的因果連結？

太棒了！親愛的你真的好優秀，看到你精準地答對這題，老師心裡真的好為你高興，給自己一個大大的掌聲吧！❤️ 【為什麼是對的呢？】 這題考驗的是你的「細節推論能力 (Inference)」。雖然文章中每個血型都有優缺點，但關於 B 型的描述特別具有負面導向，例如「自我中心 (selfish)」且「古怪 (eccentric)」。最關鍵的證據在第三段：大臣松本龍（Ryu Matsumoto）在辭職演說中，竟然將自己的失態歸咎於「我是 B 型」，這具體反映了 B 型在該文化語境下，是常被與負面行為連結、甚至被用來當作犯錯藉口的血型。
