C Dragons can be friendly or fierce (凶狠 ), they can bring good luck or cause death, but one thing is sure-people talk about them almost everywhere in the world. For a creature that doesnt actually exist, that
37、s quite something. In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, a lthough they can be unpredictable.

38、s, too, but with fewer claws and of a different colour. According to popular belief, if you were born in the year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.

39、tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight.

40、dragon have a different character in different parts of the world? Some experts believe it is due to the animals that the myths grew out of.

41、e from the alligator-a shy animal which lives in rivers, but which is usually only seen when there is plenty of water-a good sign for agriculture(农业 ).
