Do you have a lucky number What is it Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.
In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.
For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or on their vehicle license plate (车牌照) number. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm on Aug 8, 2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes (求婚) to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.
So what’s an unlucky number in China One example is 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.
Because of this, many buildings skip (跳过) the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in the West. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.
1. What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky
A. The shape of the number. B. The sound of the number.
C . The history of the number. D. The spelling of the number.
2.A building whose highest floor is 60 in Hong Kong might only have ________ physical floors if it skips all the unlucky numbers.
A．35 B．44 C．50 D．60
3.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is best
(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para. 3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para. 5 ⑥=Para. 6)
A．①; ②③④; ⑤⑥ B．①②; ③④⑤; ⑥
C．①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ D．①; ②③④; ⑤⑥
4.What is the story mainly about
A．Lucky and unlucky numbers in Western culture.
B．Meanings of different lucky numbers.
C．Meanings of different unlucky numbers.
D．Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.
C 阅读选择
Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. 1 Take “8” for example, the Chinese pronunciation(发音) of the number “8” has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character “发［fa∶］”, which means making plenty of money. 2 They believe that the number will bring them more money.
3 They think such an idea is only an ignorant(愚昧的) and superstitious(迷信的) belief. A number is one thing, and good luck is another. They will ask, “How can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don’t work hard, don’t have good chances and don’t get along well with the people around you ”
As for me, I agree with the second idea. 4 Perhaps it holds true for some cases, but often it does not. Numbers can never bring good luck to a person at all and our luck is in our own hands. 5 Let’s always remember “Chances are only for the prepared mind” and “No pains, no gains”.
A. However, others don’t believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. B. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them good luck. C. So, everyone can have good luck only if he tries his best. D. So, many Chinese people spend a lot of money to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number “8”. E. Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstitious belief.

Do you have a lucky number What is it Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.
In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.
For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or on their vehicle license plate (车牌照) number. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm on Aug 8, 2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes (求婚) to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.
So what’s an unlucky number in China One example is 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.
Because of this, many buildings skip (跳过) the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in the West. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.

Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. 1 Take “8” for example, the Chinese pronunciation(发音) of the number “8” has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character “发［fa∶］”, which means making plenty of money. 2 They believe that the number will bring them more money.
3 They think such an idea is only an ignorant(愚昧的) and superstitious(迷信的) belief. A number is one thing, and good luck is another. They will ask, “How can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don’t work hard, don’t have good chances and don’t get along well with the people around you ”
As for me, I agree with the second idea. 4 Perhaps it holds true for some cases, but often it does not. Numbers can never bring good luck to a person at all and our luck is in our own hands. 5 Let’s always remember “Chances are only for the prepared mind” and “No pains, no gains”.
A. However, others don’t believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. B. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them good luck. C. So, everyone can have good luck only if he tries his best. D. So, many Chinese people spend a lot of money to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number “8”. E. Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstitious belief.
