【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章讲述了日本人喜欢问他人的血型，他们认为血型能够说明一个人的性格特征，也能够判断出一个人是否能够成为一个好朋友。

1.根据句意：那是因为他们相信血型能够看出一个人的性格和个性。根据Japanese people often ask people what blood group they are可知后面一句叙述的是日本人询问人的血型的原因，故用because因为。

2.根据句意：日本人也相信了解血型能够帮助他们判断一个人是否能成为一个好朋友。这里缺少的是主语，所以用动名词形式，故用knowing了解。

3.根据句意：因为不是一个传统的思想而是一个现代化的思想。这里应选择与traditional 相对应的词，故用modern现代化的。

4.根据句意：在1901和1916年，血型被一个日本医生发现，血型与一个人的气质有关。句子的主语Blood groups 与discover是被动关系，故用discovered发现。

5.根据句意：O型血的人是平静的，耐心的，能够控制他们的情绪。这里介词短语作定语修饰前面的名词people，故用from来自。

6.根据句意：他们充满了自信。be full of固定短语，充满

7.根据句意：很难做出一个决定。make a decision固定短语，做决定

8.根据句意：他们喜欢谈论和做事情，不需要他人的帮助。因为空格后是动名词形式，根据句意应该用介词without没有。

9.根据句意：AB血型的人事实上更像A血型的人。根据句意故用more like更像。

10.根据句意：日本人也认为你的血型对你选择工作和结婚伴侣有影响。因为句子的主语your blood group 是单数，所以affects影响。
